Red Shahan is a captivating and authentic country artist whose music resonates with the soul of the American heartland. With his raw vocals, evocative storytelling, and distinctive sound, Shahan has carved a unique niche for himself in the contemporary country music scene. Hailing from West Texas, his songs are imbued with the rugged spirit of the region, reflecting the vast landscapes, hardworking people, and timeless struggles that define his musical roots.

Shahan's journey in the world of music began at a young age, influenced by his family's musical heritage and the rich tapestry of sounds that surrounded him. Drawing inspiration from classic country legends like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Townes Van Zandt, he developed a deep appreciation for the storytelling aspect of the genre. This influence is evident in his songwriting, where he weaves vivid narratives with a poetic touch.

One of Red Shahan's defining characteristics is his ability to convey complex emotions through his music. His songs often explore themes of love, heartache, longing, and redemption, resonating with listeners on a profound level. Whether he's crooning about lost love in "Men & Coyotes" or painting a vivid picture of small-town life in "Culberson County," Shahan's lyrics have an uncanny ability to transport audiences into the heart of his stories.

Shahan's music also stands out for its sonic diversity, blending traditional country elements with modern influences. His sound incorporates twangy guitars, rootsy arrangements, and a touch of rock 'n' roll energy. This fusion of styles gives his music a fresh and contemporary edge, appealing to a broad spectrum of listeners beyond just traditional country enthusiasts.

Red Shahan's musical journey has been marked by both triumphs and challenges, which have further shaped his artistry. His debut album, "Men & Coyotes," garnered critical acclaim and introduced him to a wider audience, while subsequent releases like "Culberson County" and "Someone Somewhere" solidified his reputation as a compelling and consistent songwriter.

Dylan Wheeler
Doors 6:30 All Ages!

Dylan Wheeler, also known as the "Broke Ass Kid," embodies the evolution of the Texas Independent Music Scene and represents the level of talent it can produce. His music combines the depth of a singer-songwriter with a fusion of Rock and Alternative genres, injecting a breath of fresh air into a scene often dominated by Country roots. With a powerful vocal range and a singing style influenced by icons like Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, and Layne Staley, Dylan Wheeler stands out as a truly unique and exceptional artist.

His music defies categorization, appealing to a wide audience and fueling dreams of success. Currently living his dream, Dylan's future looks promising as he continues to make his mark in the industry. Hailing from Edgewood, Texas, he cut his teeth in small dive bars, following in the footsteps of his East Texas heroes. However, what sets Dylan apart is his ability to cultivate a dedicated fan base even before officially releasing his music.

Through social media platforms like Twitter, Dylan garnered fans from all over by sharing acoustic videos of both original songs and covers. One of his videos, a rendition of the 90s country hit "Strawberry Wine," quickly gained over 100,000 views, providing a glimpse of his potential. This early fan base eagerly anticipated the release of his first EP, "Tell Me If I'm Wrong," in late 2018. The songs from this EP accumulated tens of thousands, and later hundreds of thousands, of streams, solidifying Dylan's destiny as a full-time musician.

In 2019, Dylan made the life-changing decision to quit his job in the Oil & Gas industry and fully commit himself to music. Embracing this new path, his schedule filled up with bigger and better shows, frequent trips to Nashville for writing and recording, and continuous engagement with his growing fan base. Each new song released showcased his artistic growth, attracting new fans while further captivating his existing supporters.

Within just a few years, Dylan's journey has transformed from receiving tens of thousands of views on acoustic videos to amassing tens of millions of streams across major platforms. He has transitioned from playing small dive bars to selling out major venues in his home state and beyond. However, Dylan sees himself as just beginning, believing that the sky's the limit. Not bad for a "broke-ass kid beating on his guitar." Not bad at all.

On this episode the boys of the The Barn Podcast have a chat with country music star William Clark Green

This episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

Episode 141 is with The Panhandlers--the West Texas collaboration between songwriters Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, John Baumann, and Cleto Cordero of Flatland Cavalry--who released their debut self-titled last Spring. As their namesake alludes, these songs are about the Panhandle of Texas and the greater West Texas area in general. As sons of The Panhandle and Far West Texas, their solo catalogs have often echoed the howling winds that drive Heaven and earth across the South Plains, the unrelenting sun that dries out cattle pastures and iron orchards of the rugged oil fields, and most importantly, the resilient folks who claim the Land of Big Sky home. The quartet understands them more than most due to their time working and living in the Hub City of Lubbock for long stretches of time. With The Panhandlers, they've written and recorded an album's worth of richly detailed vignettes and organic dust-blown ballads that celebrate their West Texas roots and heritage. 

During this interview, we talk about those West Texas roots, talk about the Blue Light songwriting culture, the works of Jerry Jeff Walker and Billy Joe Shaver, and hear a handful of stories about life in Lubbock.
