Part 2 of Jeff Plankenhorn at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT. Jeff Plankenhorn plays a soulful, distinctly Austin brand of roots rock that, over the past several years, has gained him a devoted national following and a seat among the very best contemporary Americana songwriters.
Part 1 of Jeff Plankenhorn at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT. Jeff Plankenhorn is a larger than life presence on stage. A big man with a kind smile and generous demeanor, he is often the bedrock that binds a host of talents into a moving whole. Then he picks up his slide, looks down in his lap and the joint starts hopping. Plankenhorn made his name in Austin as a preeminent guitar slinger, especially as a slide specialist.
Part 2 of Charley Crockett at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT. A distant relative of Davy Crockett, Charley Crockett taps into Americana mythos in his music. Originally a blues singer, Crockett strayed into other American roots music the longer his career lasted, incorporating soul, gospel, and, especially, country. The latter was the focus of Lil G.L.'s Honky Tonk Jubilee, a collection of covers of country classics, but that 2017 album also illustrated how Crockett fused all these sounds into a distinctive, earthy signature.

Part 2 of Courtney Patton at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT. She’s a mother, a wife, a producer, a singer, a songwriter, a tour-van driver and a musician- as well as a world-traveler when she’s out on tour throughout the continental U.S., Canada and Europe. And too anyone lucky enough to be sitting in the audience while listening to her expansive Texas twang belt out her version of deep and soulful country music, she’s a storyteller. In a musical era in which clichés and bravado are mistaken for bold noteworthiness, there is something far more brave in peeling back highly personal and emotional open-book songs and delivering them with sensitivity and sentiment. Patton does just that. She is the consummate storyteller in her music. Heartache isn’t just described, it is tangibly felt.
Part 2 of Sam Morrow at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT. Since kicking off his career with 2014's Ephemeral, Sam Morrow has seen plenty of both. With his career-defining third record, Morrow should cement his place as a member of Los Angeles' country elite. Concrete and Mud is a confident album, rooted in Texas twang, southern stomp, and old-school funky-tonk.

Part 2 of Drew Kennedy at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT. Texas-based Americana singer/songwriter Drew Kennedy was born in Virginia and began performing there and in Maryland before moving to Houston after graduating from college, later relocating to the town of New Braunfels. He might be called a reluctant but diligent optimist, looking for the good in people and circumstances while not always sure he will find it. Like many of us, Kennedy loves a sad song, the deep longing and familiarity of a well-crafted testament to lost love. However, in his work he strives to look forward, to new days and new loves, to the wonderful life we have left.

Part 2 of Western Centuries at public radio program Live From The Divide in beautiful Bozeman, MT.
