Developments in the Uvalde school massacre: Conflicting and still-unclear reporting seems to show that school security and responding law enforcement barricaded the shooter inside a fourth grade classroom for as long as 40 minutes, during which most of the killings took place. The shooter is believed to have bought his two AR platform guns just after his 18th birthday and just days prior to the shooting. Governor Greg Abbott offers no specific solutions, saying new gun restrictions are "not a real solution" and that the assault that killed 19 children and two adults "could have been worse". "Red Flag" laws are being mulled as a potential way to curb access to guns by criminals or people experiencing mental issues. In addition to crowdfunding and blood donations, legal services are needed by the families of the victims - attorneys are implored to volunteer. Meanwhile, protests are expected at Friday's NRA event in Houston. The Uvalde event is the deadliest school shooting in state history, and Texas is now an national outlier for mass shootings, with five of the ten deadliest - four in schools - having occurred within our borders. Austin ISD is responding with a buildup of security at its campuses. New details in the Anna Moriah Wilson murder case indicate that Austin Police had arrested the suspect, Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, days prior to a warrant for murder being issued. Armstrong was released, however, because her date of birth on record did not match the date of birth on the warrant. Armstrong remains at large and is now believed to have traveled to New York City. Yelp has revealed its Top 100 Places To Eat In Texas list, and 18 establishments in Austin and the surrounding area made the cut, including #1 Paper Route Bakery. Speaking of lists, Austin has made high marks on two new ones: we've been named the 16th most bike-friendly city in America, as well as the nation's best place for new college grads to find first jobs. Look for actress Regina Ting Chen on the new season of Stranger Things, playing a guidance counselor at Hawkins High School - she's a UT graduate, and grew up in San Antonio. Texas Baseball gets revenge in the opening game of the Big 12 Tournament, shutting out Oklahoma State 4-0 - they face TCU today at 4pm, after the Horned Frogs beat Baylor on Wednesday. Texas Football legend Ricky Williams has officially changed his name to "Errick Miron". Live music for the weekend: the 50th Kerrville Folk Festival begins, and continues through June 12. Willie Nelson plays a three night stand Friday through Sunday at Whitewater Amphitheater north of New Braunfels. Friday shows include Superchunk and Sweet Spirit in a Hot Luck Festival gig at the Mohawk, and Still Corners at The Parish. Saturday and Sunday it's the annual Lone Star Jam event, this year at the new Round Rock Amp with the Eli Young Band, Shane Smith and the Saints and Reckless Kelly on Saturday, and Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen, and Kevin Fowler on Sunday. Saturday shows: Dreamfest with Bob Schneider, Carolyn Wonderland, Sir Woman, Gina Chavez and more at Dreamland in Dripping Springs, Abhi the Nomad at Empire Garage, and another Hot Luck gig with Shannon and the Clams at the Mohawk. On Sunday, Jackie Venson plays Antone's.
Haddock's diligent nature mixed with his traditional, authentic style of country music has quickly solidified his spot as a staple in the Red Dirt Country scene. Gearing up to release a string of new singles with hit producer/songwriter and Haddock's manager Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson, Eric Church, Randy Houser, Little Big Town) at the helm, the young talent is on an unprecedented path. Haddock recently released the first taste of new music in nearly 2 years with “Wind It Down” and “Better Than Your Memory”, and is slated to release a collaboration with Jon Wolfe in the coming months. The new project follows Haddock's early 2020 Red Dirt Texas album release which has produced 3 Top 15 Texas Country singles.The Texas A&M Senior clocks more than 150 tour dates a year and has recently opened for artists including Randall King, Steve Wariner, Kevin Fowler, Casey Donahew, Roger Creager and more.Currently boasting more than 3 million streams, Haddock has tracks featured on Spotify's Texas Music Now, Apple Music's Don't Mess With Texas and Amazon Music's Texas Forever playlists. Haddock further solidified his trajectory when he was awarded New Male Vocalist of the Year at the leading Texas award show, the 2020 T3R Awards.Haddock's 10-track, sophomore album entitled Red Dirt Texas, features five songs co-written by Haddock and chart-topping songwriters including Willmon, Kevin Fowler, David Lee Murphy, Terry McBride, Tommy Karlas, John Pierce, Jim Collins and more. Upon its January 2020 release, Red Dirt Texas reached No. 39 on the iTunes Country albums chart. The “Red Dirt Texas” music video made its world premiere on Billboard and has racked up more than 450K views across all platforms. Staying true to his Texas roots, Haddock recently announced a partnership with award-winning Texas based distillery, Texas Ranger Whiskey. Some may be surprised to find out that Haddock is only 22-years-old as he has a musical instinct well beyond his years and sites influences from George Strait, Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi and Clay Walker. When Haddock is not juggling classes and tour dates, the avid outdoorsman spends time hunting, fishing and experimenting on his Traeger grill. Having been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age, Haddock works with several organizations to help spread awareness of the disease and is an advocate/speaker for JDRF.This is episode may or may not contain adult content such as strong language, references to smoking, alcohol, sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll.

There's a reason kids in small towns listen to songs about getting out. If you roll up 59 North outside of Houston, past all the suburbs and the strip malls, you'll eventually hit Splendora, TX. It was in this blink-and-you'll-miss-it-town where Jeff Canada first picked up the guitar, playing alongside his Grandpa and Uncle. After sidelining his dream for ten years to raise a family, Canada picked his guitar back up and ventured into the Houston cover scene, quickly carving out a niche with his unapologetic stage antics, biting comedy, and unmatched work ethic.An audience of rabid regulars followed, but it wasn't until 2018 that he finally found the voice he'd been struggling to get out in all those years of covering other people. It was a hell of a year. His marriage ended, followed by the death of his mother, and something finally cracked in the 6'3” Splendora boys otherwise tough exterior. “I wan ted to write a real, honest record,” Canada says. “Every line on paper is a line on my face, things I've lived. I could not have written this album ten, or even five years ago.”Those songs would become Wishin' Well, his first solo LP, and the foundation for an entirely new iteration of Jeff Canada as both a performer and a human being. This version isn't running from anything. “I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized that it was mostly because of my own decisions,” he says. And that self-awareness explains why he can sin about the darkest moments in his life with a spark in his eye. It also explains why he's since shared the stage with Stoney Larue, Chad Prather, Shane Smith and the Saints, Kevin Fowler, Cody Canada, Kody West, and sold out the legendary Texas listening room, Dosey Doe on his solo first appearance.This is episode may or may not contain adult content such as strong language, references to smoking, alcohol, sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 - THE DAN & DAVE COUNTRY DUO GROUP FROM AUSTIN TEXAS IN THE 1970S AND 1980s An entertaining evening with Dave Henry on the Sidney St. James Show! First, let me tell all the folks out there that it appears almost impossible to talk with people who have ever heard of Dan & Dave (Part I), although they played in front of thousands of people at the Backroom in Austin, Texas, during the late 70s and early 80s. For many years, his partner in crime was no other than Dan Burke, who left us last April 2021. Except for playing at the Aqua Festival once a year, their venue was the Backroom every Friday and many Saturday nights. Dan and Dave (Part II) both were like me when I worked for KOOL99 Radio on the weekend all around Central Texas with the KOOL99 Oldies Road Show. Work 8-5 downtown Monday thru Friday and do gigs all weekend and on Sunday nights, having my own show, Fifties Fun on Sunday Nights. Dan & Dave had a faithful accompanist by the name of Doctor Hans Langshon, who had to drive all the way down from Temple, Texas, where he was a physician at Scott and White Hospital. He played Bass guitar. And then there was Arty Passes, who played the steel guitar. He was with Channel 36 News during the week and on stage on Friday nights with Dan & Dave. About 6 years ago, a steel guitar player named Colm Chomicky from all the way up in Kansas was looking to find Arty and asked if anyone recalled a young steel guitar player who played with Dan & Dave in 1980. Wow, believe it or not, he got his answer when no other than ARTY replied, “Colm… you just made my day. Yes, a young steel player was with Dan & Dave at the Backroom. I'm now an old steel player with Kevin Fowler. That was the most fun I ever had at a gig. I still remember one of their bouncers by the name of Tiny. Yep, on Friday nites was always the Dan & Dave night, and it was always a full house.” Another fellow by the name of Larry Coombs was also young back then and used to walk down to see Dan & Dave every Friday night in 1980. He said, “I've got an album by them, a live one. Last we heard, he has moved up the road to Lockhart, Texas." Larry Coombs continued. Now back to just who Dan & Dave were in the Music Capital of Texas. They were best described by a Steel Guitar player from Prairie Village, Kansas. “For those who do not know about Dan & Dave, they have been described as a country “Smothers Brothers.” They played and sang their music between corny jokes about Furr's Cafeteria. I remember once there was a ceiling fan up on the ceiling behind them on stage, and after each Lone Star longneck, they would flip the empty back over their shoulders, often hitting the rotating ceiling fan.” VISIT THE SIDNEY ST.

He played guitar, fiddle banjo and mandolin on stage and eventually became Mr. Newton's music director until 2007. "It was an education I couldn't have paid for... all those years with Mr. Newton. He truly was like a dad to me. All the USO shows all over the planet plus the TV and movie work we did. I will forever be grateful..." SAScotty and his wife Lisa were offered their own show which they headlined for several years in Las Vegas before moving the family to Nashville.While in Nashville, Scotty was signed by Ray Hamilton to Merf Publishing as a writer/artist and worked for Brian David Willis as a ProTools editor on many big records, including Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker, Josh Turner, Carly Pearce, and many more.

"We have put out a few things over the years but I have never been so proud of the music we are writing and recording now. There was a period where the kind of country I play, more traditional, story and instrument driven tunes weren't cool. Now what I do is cool again, Thank God" SAWhat has already been an amazing journey is really just the beginning. Scotty's first solo album, "Guilty", was released in 2019 and his second, "Road We're On" is set to be released in the Fall of 2021. "Road We're On" includes the top 10 Texas Radio hit "Cowboy's Daughter" and the now charting single, "One More Reason".

Scotty's high-energy, classic country is taking fans by storm so this secret won't last long.MICHAEL MOLTHAN - M2 THE ROCK | CHARISMATIC SPEAKER | WE ARE ALL ADDICTSAs a result of being forgiving, grateful, and finally accepting his role in the trauma that he received, Michael Molthan can help others by sharing the supernatural experience he received and is still receiving as a result of true forgiveness.DALLAS, TX – Michael Molthan doesn't shy away from talking about his painful past of drug and alcohol addiction. On his talk show called, M2-The Rock, he shares how he went from building homes to being homeless."When I had the homebuilding company my behaviors were getting worse and worse," Molthan told CBN News. "My consequences were getting worse and worse."Molthan was arrested on a drug charge in 2009. "I had a large amount of cocaine in my truck," he explained. "I was intoxicated, and I was arrested. And I'll never forget that when they took me down to the jail, I had my very first mug shot."Hitting Rock Bottom 26 mug shots later, Molthan hit rock bottom. "When I look back, that's how the word powerless – I'm powerless over this deadly disease," he said. Feeling agitated, anxious, and facing three years behind bars, Molthan underwent a spiritual encounter after an inmate asked him to read to him. "I grab this book from a gang-banger, a black panther, and he used it as a pillow," he explained. "Brand new book and it was the Living Recovery Bible, New Living Translation. Now, these are black words on white paper at the time. They're not meaning anything to me. Next thing I know, four days have passed by and I started thinking about this and I go, four days just went by and I wasn't anxious. I wasn't in fear. I was calm, and I was at peace."Life-Changing MomentLater that night, he experienced another life-changing moment. "I couldn't breathe," he recounted. "All of a sudden I felt all this trash and hatred and anger and resentment and everything just coming out of my body like flies. All this stuff was just coming out. And I just took this breath and I just go something magical happened and I was full of love, and looking around I loved everybody." "I started preaching and I didn't realize what I was doing," he said. "And I did it at the end of every dinner."Paperwork Error Leads to Early ReleaseIn 2017, a paperwork error led to Molthan's accidental release. So, with no money or food, he walked 300 miles to ask judge Jennifer Bennett to send him back to jail. "I walk in there to turn myself in and I'm excited," says Molthan. "I'm like, 'I'm going to go back to prison. I'm going to do my time, get this over with and get this behind me.' I mean, complete acceptance. God is running the show, right?"He continued, "I walk in there and Judge Bennett says, 'Mr. Molthan there's obviously someone a lot bigger working in your life than me and I'm not going to get in the way.' And she set me free. And she said, 'I want you to come back tomorrow with the self-correct program. I want you to go pay it forward."'And Molthan is doing just that by sharing his story of freedom and sobriety with those seeking help for addiction.Helping Others Trapped by AddictionMichael Molthan's passion is to help people by “raising the bottom” so that no one has to experience the pain that he endured.Molthan's speaking style is so relatable and he loves sharing his love for God and Jesus Christ.M2 is quoted by saying:“When It Comes To Religion I Am An Atheist BUT When It Comes To The Gospel, The Truth, and The Word of God I Am All In”!To inquire about Michael Molthan's rates and availability, email M2@M2THEROCK.COMwww.M2THEROCK.COM

Right. And that was an economic opportunity, I think, in his mind. But what I didn't know at the time is that to my other partners were offering him real incentives to align, but I learned that later and.[00:00:28] You know, there was, there was also some conflict occurred just prior with me, my stepmother and my dad, you know, through that whole process of the transition of me coming into the business and they hadn't gotten over it, you know, there were some imposter syndrome kind of things going on there. And you know, there's a whole lot to talk about.[00:00:47] They're given time that I, it really it's probably worthwhile talking about, but they couldn't let go of not being in control of Billy Bob's anymore. And I think they felt that was. My fault in some ways that I was now the president, no, I'm the president. I gotta be the precedent, but they weren't supposed to be working there.[00:01:07] And, you know, they were just about transitioned out and gone at the time we went through that whole real estate conflict. And, does that push them into a camp opposite of me? You know, I stood up in front of city council and argued for form basis and know some sort of developmental guidelines in control, but the stockyards, which would not have occurred had Philip benign, many other people not done that.[00:01:33] But I guess to get back to your question, Michael, and an answer, it is, I just can't imagine this. Anything other than just someone making their best economic. Right. And he made a bet against family at the same time [00:01:51] Michael Moore: [00:01:51] today, the climb Bob and I are joined by Concho Minnick. Hold on for a fascinating ride, deep into the world of honkytonks politics and legal maneuvers.[00:02:01] From growing up in Fort worth to attending Gale, to building Billy Bob's globally to now running a real estate firm. This episode is chocked full of life lessons. Enjoy the climb.[00:02:27] gotcha. Minute. Welcome to the client. [00:02:30] Concho: [00:02:30] Thank you. It's great to be here, [00:02:32] Michael Moore: [00:02:32] Bob and I are really excited to cohost you today. Bob always laughed at always say everything's bigger in Texas, but, nothing rings truer than Billy Bob's largest honky tonk in the world. certainly a big part of Fort worth history, big part of Texas history.[00:02:49] And under your guidance, a big part of the world's music scene. [00:02:53] Bob Wierema: [00:02:53] Now [00:02:54] Michael, hold on, hold on. I gotta interrupt because you know, from us Chicago boys, now I know what a hockey tuck is, but like let's, let's let for our other listeners, like what, what does that even mean? What is it?[00:03:07]Concho: [00:03:07] Good point. So you're the resident an error, you know, Billy Bob's is a hundred thousand square foot entertainment venue.[00:03:18] It's, you know, [00:03:20] driven really around. You know, live music is originally a barn that was built in, I think it was 1908 or so, and came to life as a music venue in 1981. And really, you know, I would say that it's more of a, kind of a Western culture entertainment complex, and this is the way we started thinking about it because we, you know, did bull riding and food and private parties.[00:03:45] And. Music festivals. And then we were starting to do music festivals around the world and the United States. And so, you know, it's really a, this big sprawling music video that whole 5,000 people. It shows every single day, just about closed one day a year, you know, with food and live bull, riding inside, believe it or not, inside of the bar.[00:04:07] And it's just, you know, it doesn't really look like a music venue. It looks like a barn that might fall in on you at any moment. You know, the ceiling's awkwardly low and in big columns in your way, depending on what kind of seat you have. But. That's Billy buzzes. It sits in the historic dish, the Fort worth historic district, which, you know, kind of sets the stage more, you know, authentic Western culture.[00:04:33] Which is kind of how, you know, Billy Bob's is that it's authentic. It's, they're presenting Western culture through music, food experience, rodeo, you know, that's, that's Billy bouts [00:04:46] Michael Moore: [00:04:46] and don't forget Willie's picnic. [00:04:48] Concho: [00:04:48] That's right. [00:04:49] Michael Moore: [00:04:49] Yeah. That was huge. He had attended a lot of [00:04:52] Concho: [00:04:52] that. I think we, I get how many Willie's picnics, Billy Bob's is hosted, but I ha I, I put on four w during my tenure there.[00:05:00] Michael Moore: [00:05:00] So before we jump into that though, because that is going to be the bulk of the conversation today, let's step back and just talk about how you grew up things that shaped and defined you college, ultimately, president of Billy Bob's and now CEO of Christie's Altair here in Fort worth, Texas. [00:05:23] Concho: [00:05:23] How much time do I have,[00:05:27] you know, I grew up right here, Texas and, out by Eagle mountain Lake and which was just. It was the country back then, you know, it was, it was just typical suburbia in some ways, but it was just wide open living. You know, the bite, your bicycle is the most important piece of equipment. You could own country club on one end rec center and the Lake on the other end and, you know, just tons of open space.[00:05:53] And it was just. You know, it was good living out there. We were re in a, you know, my, my parents, divorced and remarried. Right. And so, you know, some of my earliest memories, I remember life briefly with my father, but, you know, once those families combined, there was six kids. So. You know, my two brother, my three, my two brothers, my sister was four and then two stepbrothers.[00:06:22] Then life really grabbed me around the head and I was like, Oh Jesus, okay. This is what it's all about. This was first grade or so when we put our families together and. We, we had moved. And I remember the story I tell a lot is, it was all happening so [00:06:40] fast. I didn't even know where I lived. Cause we, I went to Eagle mountain elementary.[00:06:43] The first day of school, I came home on the bus and I didn't know where to get off the bus. I was like, where the fuck? You know, I don't even know the name of my street. And so the bus driver drove me around the whole subdivision until I could recognize that house, which luckily I did, but, you know, I think that's, I think, growing up on the Lake almost every day, certainly influenced me.[00:07:03] I, I love the water and, I would learn to scuba dive and be on the ocean. I mean, I love, I love the mountains just as much, but I just, I really, it was some good introduction. To nature on a daily day basis being out there, you know, and I wasn't really adventurous. I went to TCU, you know, largely because it was right in my backyard and I didn't know anything about schools, you know?[00:07:25] I mean, yeah, it wasn't. Yeah. You know, I was a good, I was a wonderful student, a decent test scores, but I just went to TCU. I just didn't really know what I was getting into. And it was, I was lucky. I was lucky because it had an incredible business school, which I would find out later when I got to Yale, how good of an education I got at TCU and, met my wife at TCU and, you know, really just started establishing my professional career.[00:07:48] After that. I did have the backup a little bit though and say that, you know, part of my life experience was, you know, kind of shaping me was my mother's family is from North Dakota. And just about every summer, We would load up the suburban and drive there. And my parents might not stay there the whole time or my stepdad at least, but I would be there for at least a month.[00:08:12] And we were on the Western edge of North Dakota, a little town called Madora. which is still thriving today, but as a historic place where theater Roosevelt spent a lot of time ranching and hunting, and it's in the Badlands of North Dakota, which are just stunning. Beautiful. Right. And so it was, it was a couple of things.[00:08:32] I mean, it was just unspoiled nature and I would recommend going there to anyone that goes into theater Roosevelt national park is, is worth it. Yeah. So I got a lot of, just this feeling of the natural environment I needed to be involved, you know, and I need to, there's a, something about that experience that, that impacted me and I, you know, it just, it still does kind of show, [00:08:55] Michael Moore: [00:08:55] how far is that [00:08:56] Concho: [00:08:56] from Williston North Dakota?[00:08:58] I think it's about two hours. [00:09:01] Michael Moore: [00:09:01] Yeah. I've had a. Way too many vodka tonics that the Willis country love. If you can even call it that [00:09:08] Concho: [00:09:08] it's a wild place. [00:09:10] Michael Moore: [00:09:10] A really wild place. [00:09:11] Concho: [00:09:11] Yeah. If it weren't for oil, like they've been registered Wellston right in my mind for, you know, the first three quarters of my life.[00:09:18] But. But yeah, and you know, my grandfather who really bought all the property around the door and revitalize that whole historic town, he invented it. Bubble and another project product called snowy bleach. He had come and go gold seal. And so, you know, I got a lot of my entrepreneurial drive and vigor and excitement from him, from his journey from being just destitute young man to.[00:09:47] You know, growing that company and selling it in the eighties, there was us a lot of privilege for being there. Right, right. and I don't know that that was, you know, my favorite part of it or not, but really, I just had a button. They put [00:10:00] on me that said something, you know, and it, it was all wide open. It was like country club, any store, any restaurant trail rides.[00:10:10] Music, all this kind of, it was, I guess I was spoiled in some ways, but, [00:10:15] without knowing it, which is the difference. [00:10:18] Yeah. I didn't know it. I didn't, I knew it was a lot of fun up there and that really was every single summer of my life until, you know, I was late teens or something like that. So that's, before I skipped to.[00:10:32] College or grad school or first big jobs or any of that. I've got to mention that one. And I've been a lifelong theater Roosevelt fan since [00:10:40] Michael Moore: [00:10:40] it's good friends call him Teddy.[00:10:45]no, I mean, I think a lot of us can look back on how we were brought up and maybe we didn't know it at the time, but I mean, I think back to little dripping Springs, Texas, that you know, has produced. The guys that founded Yeti coolers, the guys that founded Diablo, paddle sports, we all grew up in the outdoors.[00:11:05] We didn't, I remember begging for an attender and playing it for like two days and like having dreams about super Mario brothers. And I was like, fuck this [00:11:16] Nintendo stuff. [00:11:17] Like I would rather be outside playing with my friends, building something, fishing, hunting. I mean, that's just, it, it, it defined us right.[00:11:26] Whether we knew it or not. [00:11:28] Concho: [00:11:28] Yeah. I haven't been able to let that one go. I didn't have it in television. Oh, did you have one of those? [00:11:34] Michael Moore: [00:11:34] No, but [00:11:35] it'll be some older than you. Right? So that was a little, maybe a few years, but yeah, but I had the same, same thing, you know, so many great opportunities to be outside where I was growing up and it's thank God.[00:11:47] You know, it doesn't happen these days that way. [00:11:49] So then you're at TC you and. Somehow a more global or at least regional bug hits you. Right. Because you do pick a graduate school, not in Texas. So make that leap for us. [00:12:08] Concho: [00:12:08] Yeah. I think it goes something like this, you know, I was a finance undergrad and just kind of.[00:12:14] Dark and around and a few different things, the equitable, and, you know, you can imagine how successful you would be selling mutual funds and insurance and life insurance and things like that. As at age 21, right. It sounds like a real promising career. And. I didn't really take finance that seriously. I was very interested in it, but I just didn't know.[00:12:34] I was just uneducated, you know, and not doing so well. And, and just trying to think about things that were really inspiring to me and that were meaningful to me. And I'd read a few books, this one biophilia hypothesis, which I want to take you down that path, but then I had this vacation and. Greece with a good buddy of mine, Matt tout.[00:12:55] And then I was, I can remember the moment pretty specifically, we were driving on a bus, go in town to town and it just hit me. I was like, I just, I I've never had that sort of definitive like aha ever in my life, but it hit me on that bus ride that I had to do something that was natural science related.[00:13:16] Right. And it just seemed like the most important thing in my [00:13:20] life, but the time I had to do so, you know, I went through this big process of, you know, being a finance undergrad and trying to get accepted to the Yale school of forestry. Right. And, the reason why I was doing that is because there's about three programs in the United States at the time that had combined degrees that had combined MBA.[00:13:43] And master's in environmental science, juries a knew if I could get into the forestry, the component at Yale, I could. Probably qualify again in the MBA school, but I had to have some science street creds. So I went through this whole process of, you know, taking chemistry classes and doing all sorts of things like getting certified.[00:14:04] I was a red cross canoe guide. I lived on this little Island and beliefs for two weeks on some of the scientific study thing and just everything it could to look like a credible, someone who actually cared about science, right. With a finance degree from TCU. Oh, I spent a, I was an intern at the biosphere for three months, right before I went to jail.[00:14:24] Okay. [00:14:27] Michael Moore: [00:14:27] Pre Pauly shore. [00:14:29] Concho: [00:14:29] Right. I think they might've, the poly shore that might've been, I might've been the target for that. I might've inspired that, but no, it's, you know, our connection to the biosphere. This are the basses from Fort worth right at, which was, that was a big. A big credibility may of getting an internship there.[00:14:46]I got accepted to all three of those graduate programs, unbelievably, and I picked Yale because it was the most, I imagined it to be the most unlike Fort worth. Right. And I didn't hate Fort worth, but it was just a, you know, I could have gone to. Wherever Duke. I forget where Duke but town that is, it doesn't matter, university of Michigan.[00:15:08] And I was like, you know, new Haven, Connecticut. It's gotta be the biggest stretch here. Right? it will be close to New York city. That's how I picked it. And, we were off to the races. W [00:15:19] Michael Moore: [00:15:19] was there anything particular in that, with that you said, you know, that forestry piece, you went into the environmental science piece.[00:15:25] Is there anything that was like particular of interest there to you that you wanted to pursue that for? Or was just pale? I want to go pursue this and then we'll figure out what the after is. [00:15:34] Concho: [00:15:34] Yeah. I just, I had to figure out what the after was. You know, I knew that I just had to inject science somehow into what I was going to do every day.[00:15:45] It's called the Yale school of forestry, but it has really everything from true forestry practice to like corporate environmental health and safety stuff to, you know, all kinds of stuff. But it's the oldest forestry program in the United States. Yale on its own is just a, it's a magical place to be. So yeah, I had to, it was a really figuring out where my career would take me as I was there, you know, kind of like a very late version of undergrad.[00:16:12] Michael Moore: [00:16:12] Right. We all bloom at different times. I just, I was asking just cause I think it's really interesting, you know, you, I feel like a lot of people Tuesday go into those and like when I did my MBA, I wasn't sure what was going to come [00:16:27] out that, [00:16:28] but like, if you're going out with them, the end goal, I just wonder if you kind of have those blinders on.[00:16:32] That's why I asked you. I know somebody, people go in with the open mind, but then people are like, I mean, I go to this, I'm going to get my finance. I'm [00:16:40] going to go back to school and I'm going to go into it. Private equity. Right. And it's such a defined path. And I think you can lose some things in that track.[00:16:48] Concho: [00:16:48] Yeah, no, I think you're right. What did I know? You know, redneck from forward Texas going to new Haven, Connecticut, it was, you know, it, it was, I wouldn't trade for anything. The breadth of people that I met, I mean, different groups of people in the forestry program. And then in the MBA school where, you know, 30% of my.[00:17:09] Class and the MBA programs from China. Right. And it was a, you know, 30% of them were wanting to go to wall street and be investment bankers, you know, or consultants. But, so I had a lot to learn it. I was, you know, what a better place to be. While I was there. I interned at S tobacco my first summer, which is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, just little train ride, which is just a mindblower wonderful thing.[00:17:38] And then the next summer I was at a United technologies, Sikorsky helicopter, and both of these were sort of environmental. Yeah, corporate environmental type assignments, where you can imagine big companies that have this environmental health and safety kind of component to them in that part of the work.[00:17:56] You know, I decided that's a definite no, for sure. And it's one thing, you know, if my mother hadn't always been telling me Contra, it's fine to learn what you don't want to do. You know, that I would have probably been really panicky. I'm going to be in a little panicky anyway, but what fortunately, what was happening at that time was the national power business was deregulating.[00:18:24] And, there's a little company in Houston, Texas called Enron that. All my classmates wanted to get to work for sure. Right? So it's, that was the hot sector to go with. Right? If you weren't going to be an ibanker or a consultant, you wanted to go into that hour. And gosh, I would say, you know, we had 12 dual, dual degree students.[00:18:49] You know, I think half of them went into power. Wow. Four of them went to Enron, which I really, really wanted to go to work. Fran, Ron, I was so pissed off. They didn't hire me, turned out okay. [00:19:01] Michael Moore: [00:19:01] For you [00:19:02] Concho: [00:19:02] later was a big blessing. but yeah, so, you know, long story, I got a chance to interview at Southern energy in Atlanta, which was a subsidiary of Southern company, which at the time was the largest utility United States.[00:19:15] Southern energy was their unregulated subsidiary. That was just on a tear. And I got offered a job doing M and a there and, in the North America finance group, to me, it was, is a wonderful intersection of science and are already, you know, well, I guess what I've learned more about myself over time is the finance and.[00:19:39] Analytic, you know, that I still had that started TCU, I guess. And then just, it hadn't left me, you know, and plus, you know, there's some admission that, Hey, this is an easier way to make a living than being like the environmental health and safety coordinator for us tobacco. Right? Sure. But anyway, we've got an offer to, to [00:20:00] come to Atlanta and work in their M and a group, and which was.[00:20:05] Just a mind blowing career opportunity that I could talk about for a long time too. But that's where Yale led me. It did, you know, bring me, allow me to combine finance and environmental science, if you will, or science. And, this, it's a great place to be energy is, is full of brilliant competitive people, you know, from all different kind of disciplines.[00:20:30] It's a. It's a, it's a great place to be start post MBA for sure. [00:20:35] Michael Moore: [00:20:35] No, I think that's great perspective for a lot of our young listeners. You know, if you're a fear religious person, you could say that, you know, your, your path has already created for you. It's just your job and influences in your life job to keep you on that path.[00:20:51]but I think, you know, so many young people coming out of school are so worried about their career in, in, in reality, it's like, College and post-college is the time to figure out what you don't want to do. [00:21:04] Concho: [00:21:04] Yeah. You know? Yeah. That saying from my mother, it's okay to learn. What you don't want to do is a thought about that a lot in my life, you know, and it's, it's right.[00:21:15] It's, it's good to win a couple bets and make a few good decisions along the way. Yeah. Saves you time and heartache. But, no, I appreciate all the, all the I've known all the dumb little environmental science jobs I had along the way and finance. Stuff too, you know, but stayed open to it and continues to this day.[00:21:34] Michael Moore: [00:21:34] And so you, you were in Atlanta. What eventually brought you back to Texas? How long were you at Southern? For [00:21:41] Concho: [00:21:41] a, I was in Atlanta for five years, you know, as that Southern energy, which became Mirant. so we spun that company out to get public it branded his mirror and I was there. Three and a half years or something like that.[00:21:55] Like I couldn't ask for it better introduction to advance business and finance and running companies, public and private. And through that experience, you know, I stayed there all the way up until they were about to file bankruptcy after Enron filed bankruptcy and we were all big trading counterparties are, we had a foreign person trading floor in Atlanta.[00:22:16] And the whole sector was about to go down. And so I left, I was a CFO of a startup. Oh, you're fine. So before I, I just decided, Hey, I want to be back in Fort worth. You know, I had to, my kids were born in Atlanta, so I had two little boys and I was like, Hey, if I'm, if I can figure this out, how to. You know, established my career back in Fort worth.[00:22:40] And that's what I want to do, raise them around my family. And so that's, family's really what brought me back, you know, Fort worth, Texas is fine. Yeah, for sure. [00:22:52] Michael Moore: [00:22:52] So is your, is your mind and thought process was being expanded at Yale and your, your different early careers? Billy Bob's was operating 364 days a year down here.[00:23:07] So walk us through the transition that brought you back and, and then start telling us about your time [00:23:14] there, [00:23:15] Concho: [00:23:15] Billy, about didn't bring me back, right. I, I went to work for, cash America [00:23:20] and, which, which wasn't a great fit for me. You know, I ended up. Finding myself back in energy. M and a really quick after that.[00:23:28] Yeah. Right. So, I worked for a company called Optum energy, which was joint venture between PNM resources, the New Mexico power company and cascade, which was bill Gates, right. Private equity. That was a fascinating adventure too. And I love that great time. In fact, some of the people I worked with there have hired to work at Christie's right.[00:23:52] You know, I just, I had this thing going on. It was, kind of a deeper search for, for meaning and what I wanted to do in my career, you know, had, at that point, I'd done a lot of energy, M and a, and never imagined. I would be anywhere, remotely involved in Billy Ball, you know, I mean, at that point, you know, it's like, man, I, you know, I like country music, you know, and I like Stevie Ray Vaughan a little bit more.[00:24:21] Right. You know, and, you too and Pearl jam, but, it just didn't really, it took time. For me to, to get what it was and the Maura was here. You know, I started to enjoy it a little bit and through a really odd set of circumstances, I had this opportunity to go to Beijing, China, and look at ability buds deal.[00:24:46] So the, the owner's ability Bob's at the time they knew me, they thought I was reasonably smart human. I'd been around the world with energy business. So I could. You know, I had good footing to travel and, and all that sort of thing. And, we went over there to analyze a deal, to put inability Bob's in Beijing ahead of the Olympics.[00:25:06] It's 2000, 2008 was the Beijing Olympics. And so I spent two weeks in Beijing thinking about really hard. And we looked at real estate, we went to a bunch of. Ranches and country Western things. And then we went to about every bar in live music venue. We could get our hands on, would go to three or four or five and night for almost two weeks.[00:25:32] And just trying to get our heads around what this meant. And is it possible? My partner in crime was Phillip Murren on that trip, which a man that's probably worth a whole nother podcast to review that. But no, the Beijing trip will be expanded upon in the book for sure. But you know, it really struck me.[00:25:53] We did all these things from going to like symphony type things and the great hall of the people to these little bitty, nowhere bars in Beijing and what. Kind of blew my head off was, you know, you go into these little holes in Beijing and you know, you're just, you're two white guys and you kind of stand out anyway and they're like, Hey, why are you guys here?[00:26:17] You know, we would get that question. And we say, well, we're, we're here with Billy. Bob's we're thinking about. But an ability Bob's here. And every single time, nowhere, Beijing people would say Billy bombs, Billy Bob's, Texas, and things like that. And you know, it just the brand, you know, and it, it was, it was more than a bird, [00:26:40] you know, that was like, Hey, our brand is recognized around the world, but it was, it was what it meant to me.[00:26:46] The opportunity. I'll tell you the opportunity unfolded for me to take over, but for me, what it meant was a way to kind of export Fort worth to the world. You know, I love our lifestyle here. I love the culture and for the people, the entrepreneurial-ism, you know, it's a good place to be. You know, I know you, and I've talked about that.[00:27:09] We it's good stuff. So the idea of being a part of Billy Bob's and seeing what we could do with it worldwide, it felt like a, it was very possible. Like if the, if the dive bars Beijing knew about it, there was something right. And at the same time it had meaning for me, it's like, here's our, here's our hometown, it's Western culture.[00:27:31] It's all these cool things. It just seemed to intersect. And something that was meaningful to me, [00:27:37] Michael Moore: [00:27:37] you know, that's definitely a defining moment, [00:27:40] Concho: [00:27:40] I'd say so. Yeah. So yeah, that was the intro. We ended up not doing that deal, which was. Was, I think it was the right call and, you know, it was through all of that work that have developed a relationship with the owners while I was still at Optim energy, I launched, an offer to buy the whole company, Billy Bob's while I was as a side job, that offer was rejected.[00:28:05] Okay. It got hung up on real estate, which is part of the. Subsequent story, but they locked me up and said, Hey, you know, your dad's going to retire once you retire, why don't you just come run this thing? You know, that coupled with my vision of really taking the brand around the world, I was so, yeah, let's do it.[00:28:22] Michael Moore: [00:28:22] And what year was that?[00:28:24]Concho: [00:28:24] 2011. [00:28:25] Michael Moore: [00:28:25] Okay. So your family's back and Fort worth is 2011. You're running Billy Bob's. From the outsider looking in, it's like gotta be the coolest job in Fort worth to have, you know, growing up in, in Austin. Obviously I was a huge live music fan and I was always so appreciative that as Fort worth was maturing culturally in a lot of other areas, right.[00:28:52] Any night of the week, I could go see a great [00:28:55] show at Billy Bob's now has appreciated that. [00:28:59] So now you're running, you're running the ship. Things are going well, you're expanding the brand globally. And then what happens? [00:29:08] Concho: [00:29:08] Yeah, we're skipping over a lot. Yeah. But, yeah, you know, the, to give the proper sort of diagnostic for, you know, why we, this lawsuit exploded in 2017, we gotta go back just a little bit and I'll try to do this quickly to 2013, 2014, we were at the time.[00:29:31] When the owners were still sort of more together and somewhat United, I guess, negotiating with majestic Realty for a master deal in the belly of, and in the stockyards. So in Billy Bob's is included in that and all our properties are included in that. And, and I was leading that negotiation and it got high centered, it got high centered on this idea of Western heritage.[00:29:59] You [00:30:00] know, to some extent, I don't want to say historic preservation because that's sometimes puts the wrong connotation to it, you know, kind of history kind of overdone in that fashion. But, you know, stockyards is about Western culture presentation, you know, and there's a lot of authenticity to the stockyards based on the past.[00:30:19] And so these ideas came up if, you know, majestic wanted to come in and develop the stockyards and. Now develop all these businesses. So like, okay, how are we going to keep this from being Disneyland? And that's what killed the unity on the first deal with majestic? I can remember Brad Hickman standing up in that meeting and saying, it doesn't matter to me, a bulldoze, any building to make money.[00:30:46] And that was the schism that was late 2013. That started at all. They, the Hickman family went away to negotiate with majestic privately wake up in 2014. And that conflict gets in front of city hall in 2014. And there began the main, there's a lot to that story too. We could get into, but learned a lot about how city hall works.[00:31:14] Right. And I think if you take that idea forward to 2017, it's really two groups of people. You know, a group of people who sees Billy Bob's as this magical a global opportunity to provide like a, an authentic Western cultural brand, kind of an American brand for the world for country music and another group that sees Billy Bob's as just another building in the stockyard is development play that may or may not have conflicts with other.[00:31:52] Parts of that development, you know, and that's what happened. And so there's some really interesting legal money that, that are, that the defendants in this lawsuit, you know, engaged in to try to kind of endure to this day, a lot of, a lot of good learning there, but that was the source of the conflict. You know, I think I wrote about that in my second blog visit, we dropped on that topic, and it was, you know, Hey, If, if you have a big segment of your owners that have conflicts of interest, you can bet that they're going to maximize their interest.[00:32:29] Right. And that's exactly what happened. [00:32:32] Michael Moore: [00:32:32] So how, how many owners at the time were involved in the business? [00:32:37] Concho: [00:32:37] I think when our, when I got kicked out of the company, like. Physically, I literally run out of the building. that happened three times, but the first time we have 11 owners. You know, and me on the small end, I just had a couple of percentage of the government.[00:32:56] I was, you know, president and I was gaining equity interest. And then all the way up to the Hickman to the whole family together had about, I don't know, 30, 40% or something, but, and they were all sorts of different kinds of people. People who've just been in Fort worth and business. My dad was, an equity owner.[00:33:13]the Moran family is multi-generational Fort worth, the Donnie Nelson and the general manager of the Mavericks who I brought into the [00:33:20] company. And then another family called the juries from this part of the world. So it's quite a diverse grid. [00:33:27] Bob Wierema: [00:33:27] Yeah. I just think about that. Like you said, with all those different sets of folks involved, I mean, you've got a lot of different people being pulled and I'm sure a lot of political back and forth and positioning it's, it's interesting when you get that many kind of call it cooks in the kitchen, right?[00:33:44] Concho: [00:33:44] Yeah, I'd say so. I thought I had structured around it in a decent way, you know, coming into it with a. What I thought was a decent company agreement, you know, and delegations of authority and all the things that you would expect in that kind of situation. But it just, it just didn't work out that way. You know, greed and conflict kind of dominated the day and a certain faction decided, Hey, we can, you know, create this legal conflict and.[00:34:15] We'll see who wins. And one of my big learnings from that is, you know, the influence of, of money in court. Right. And what I mean by that. And I think a lot of people know this. I, I, I sort of take this, you know, Hey, I'm such an idiot posture. And when I write about this and talk about this, because I really feel like I was, you know, I didn't realize the.[00:34:42] The battle of scale and attrition that you could set up in court through money. Right? And, you know, there's no, they didn't teach you that at Yale, like, you know how to budget for legal success, class one Oh one or something like that, that, you know, and it's not, it's not that I gotta be careful. I mean, it's, I would never accuse any judge or anything like for taking money.[00:35:09] That's not the thing. It's just, you know, you could be completely wrong, set up a legal argument framework and start deposing people. Creating motions and just create this battle of scale and endurance that if you can't counter it financially, you're going to lose. And that it's that simple. And you know, it's, it's one of those things where, Oh, wait, I've got tons of attorney, friends.[00:35:40] I respect the profession. My brother was a judge. He's still an attorney. completely. I just had this. Yeah, it was at the time I was I'm 40 something. Right. And I should know better, but that's a big learning that I've passed on to my kids. And hopefully I can share that with other people who weren't thinking that way, but good friend of mine would say the court's not a place for the common man.[00:36:02] And he told me that a bunch of times during the lawsuit. You [00:36:06] Michael Moore: [00:36:06] get the, yeah, I mean, I, I I've heard that, you know, saying before he say people will tie you up in court until you got nothing left. I mean, that's a real thing that happens and it's unfortunate. [00:36:18] Concho: [00:36:18] Yeah. Yeah. And we're still in court. We've been in Supreme court and back and still there.[00:36:23] So we're fighters, but, going away just a lot of learning along the way about how all of that works. Yeah. You know, and, you know, even depositions, I had a good friend of mine say, you know, you haven't really grown up in the business still. You've been deposed. And I agree [00:36:40] with that. I agree with that until you've been through that experience and get to post for six hours for two days.[00:36:46] I mean, that'll make you grow up quick. [00:36:50] Michael Moore: [00:36:50] It is not fun. unfortunately I've done [00:36:52] that before, [00:36:53] too. And you're right. I mean, it, Yeah, certainly a few more hair sprouted on the chest by the next day. I mean, it's a, it is a punch in the face and you can prepare all you want, but until you've done it it's yeah.[00:37:08] Concho: [00:37:08] I can remember having an attorney, hand me a document and get really mad that I'm reading it. For starters. I, do you want me to read what you're handing? Right. You know, and it's all about setting up this game where they can pop a clip back up on TV in court, where they catch you off guard, and one question and ruin your credibility.[00:37:25] Right? I mean, that's the whole game. [00:37:27] Michael Moore: [00:37:27] So, so for the back to being removed from the premise three different times, like for our listeners that maybe didn't grow up in Fort worth, didn't don't know the whole history of Billy Bob's like. Just the perspective, like, what does that feel like when you've got family involved, you've got multigenerational families involved, you've got iconic names and in Fort worth involved and you show up trying to do your job and there's literally a lock on the door.[00:37:56] Like, what does that feel like? [00:37:58] Concho: [00:37:58] It's it was, it was stunning, you know, to say the least. And it was, It's scarring. And I still think I'm affected by it in some ways. I mean, I've learned a lot about myself since, but you know, the, we were, we had great success, you know, we were essentially doubled the profitability of the company.[00:38:20] You know, we were, had just done a music festival in Italy. we're preparing to do one in Huntington beach. Did all kinds of, I mean, we were. On a tear. Right. And essentially, you know, had people walk into my office one day and say, you're no longer president. I said, how does that work? You know, and I'll say be sort of the legal maneuver they pulled, but just to get, stay in the zone of what you're trying to talk about there, it was, it was as much of a surprise as you could imagine, you know, there'd been some conflict with these people along the way, but just to say, you know, Hey, your employment contract doesn't matter.[00:39:00] The LLC agreement doesn't matter, none of this matters except for your really bad guy contract, get out, you know, and this was, you know, my dad in the room, you know, a few of them where we would just call the bad guys and I'm just walked out of the building and we had a, we had a great team, you know, and it's, it's stunning for all of them as it is me.[00:39:23] Right. I mean, we had a team that was killing themselves and doing really, really well and pushing the envelope and high performers. Right. And it's just a stunning for the employees too, based on the culture that we had. [00:39:37] Michael Moore: [00:39:37] So when you think about the family dynamic of it, and you've got this divisive line and one set on this side and one set on the other and you're sitting opposite from your dad.[00:39:51] And maybe this hadn't come out yet. Maybe you've got to give it more thought, maybe it's time, but like, why is he on that side? And you're on this side,[00:39:59]Concho: [00:39:59] I think it really [00:40:00] comes down to greed. You know, it maybe to some extent, ego, I mean, I think if you asked him that question of why he's hanging out with the, you know, the people that are developing the stockyards, it goes back to what I mentioned in 2014, you know, there was a few things that happened around then, you know, he found himself.[00:40:20] Wanting to align with the people who, and to develop the stockyards without any sort of historical context. Right. Right. And that was an economic opportunity, I think, in his mind. Well, what I didn't know at the time is that to my other partners were offering him. Real life incentives to align. But I learned that later and, you know, there was, there was also some conflict that occurred just prior with me, my stepmother and my dad, you know, through that whole process of the transition of me coming into the business and they hadn't gotten over it.[00:40:58] You know, there's some imposter syndrome kind of things going on there. And you know, there's a whole lot to talk about. They're given time that I really it's probably worthwhile talking about, but they couldn't let go of not being in control of Billy Bob's anymore. And I think they felt that was my fault in some ways that I was now the president, you know, I'm the president, I gotta be the president, but they weren't supposed to be working there.[00:41:24] And, you know, they were. Just about transitioned out and gone at the time we went through that whole real estate conflict and, that pushed them into a camp opposite of me. You know, I stood up in front of city council and argued for form based code and, you know, some sort of developmental guidelines and control for the stockyards, which.[00:41:46] Would not have occurred, had Phillip and I, and many other people not done that. But I guess to get back to your question, Michael, and an answer, it is, I just can't imagine this, anything other than just someone making their best economic bet. Right. And he made a bet against family at the same time. [00:42:07] Michael Moore: [00:42:07] Yeah.[00:42:08] That's a tough pill to swallow. [00:42:11] Concho: [00:42:11] Yeah. You know, I had it, it was, but I, you know, at that point I already had a few years of that schism, you know, through the real estate conflict. So when I wasn't altogether surprised for an abstinence, a lawsuit, you know, but have him. continue to, you know, work against me for years and years of the lawsuit and what I would, you know, there's all, all sorts of things that I think weren't necessarily on the up and up through that situation.[00:42:39] I don't think the truth was always told on the witness stand and, to saw a really terrible, extraordinary circumstance. It, it was tough, but you know, the, the loss of. It wasn't like the lawsuit ended my relationship with him. It was already kind of ending already. That's an unfortunate aspect of that, you know, to me, it was just so stunning to be on a tear and we were having such a great time and so much economic success.[00:43:08] And, you know, just have that, have that ended was, was I guess, more stunning to me. [00:43:16] Michael Moore: [00:43:16] Yeah, no, I mean, I, every time I went over there to. [00:43:20] To work with you on the insurance and the risk management side. I mean, it was just, you could feel the momentum. I mean, I remember one day I walked in, in your office and you have these virtual three D goggles on, and we're thinking about the concerts virtually it did, it had this amazing amount of momentum.[00:43:38] And then all of a sudden I'm reading this, the paper and I'm calling you. And you're like, there's literally a lock on my door. [00:43:47] Concho: [00:43:47] Yeah. I mean, like the dynamics around, you know, getting kicked out, getting a temporary restraining order, coming back in to kick all those guys out, you know, trying to conduct business while.[00:44:04] You know, the river was literally, I would call it sort of competitive terrorism going on. You know, it was, they were cabling, parking, lots closed, you know, and claiming ownership of them. They, there was a building next door. We did all these events and they tried to claim, we would violate our lease and we needed to get out of that.[00:44:24] They were, sending ex-employees and, and try to spy on what we're doing and, and all these kinds of things. We had $2 million transferred out of our bank account by one of the owners into another bank, which we still have not gotten back. There's every single thing you could imagine, including surveillance me in my home was happening to get us to relent.[00:44:47] Disengaged and just let that happen. Right. But we put up about, and it just, it went round and round. We would get kicked out, we'd get a TRO come back. the judge would make some dumb ruling and the other guys think they were in charge and they would bust in, in the middle of the night and you'd wake up and all the doors,[00:45:10] it seemed kind of childish on some level, you know, it's like wild West bullshit. [00:45:15] Michael Moore: [00:45:15] At what point were you like, I guess maybe more of the question is like, why did you keep fighting it? Right. Instead of just saying, I'm done with this, you know, what made you have that to say, I'm going to continue pushing that.[00:45:29] Concho: [00:45:29] You know, I, I think we, you know, the plaintiffs in the case. Yeah. We felt like we were right. We were right. We were very successful and we felt like we were due or, you know, we were do some justice. I felt like no way, no way are we going to lay down, to this group of people it's so wrong on so many levels.[00:45:50] And that doesn't mean we haven't tried to economically settle. Right? multiple times, have we been on the threshold of saddle again and if failed, but you know, it goes back to what kind of partners you have. And you know, when it's a lot of things are. You know, injected with conflict and, and create, and a lot of emotion, then it's just really hard to get people to settle.[00:46:17] Right. Because, you know, that goes into the dynamic of who's in that group who the partnership group is. But yeah, we, we felt like it was worth fighting for, you know, and it, and at the end of the day, it's more than just Billy Bob and Fort worth. You know, we were scaling to build Billy balls around the world.[00:46:34] And it's that kind of thought process that we were engaging in. We had drawings for a Billy Bob's in [00:46:40] Houston. We just, well, I'd already mentioned Italy, which was just a mind blowing experience to run a 26,000 person festival. And nowhere, Italy, there was more really at stake than just this little 5,000 person venue in the stockyards.[00:46:57] And so that's why we fought so hard. [00:47:00] Bob Wierema: [00:47:00] He brought up a great point earlier about, you know, not learning, in, in grad school, like how to fund a lawsuit. And I mean, we're a capitalistic society, like money runs things, but, and we could do a whole nother podcast on this. I mean, whether it's the legal system and these, you know, Bob and I see him every day, these nuclear verdicts that come down.[00:47:24] Plaintiff attorneys being funded by private equity firms now to participate in the, and the awards, you know, and then politics, right? I mean, just running a race to try to build a platform to do what you think is right. [00:47:39] Michael Moore: [00:47:39] Cost money. And so it's like, there's a tipping point where money has to be a vein of the operation.[00:47:47] Well, why does it have to influence the outcome and how do we, you know, if you're solely looking for justice and what's right, like how do you, how do we fix that? [00:47:59] Concho: [00:47:59] I wish I knew. Yeah. You know, my blog three is, is on this topic and I hope I get to release it soon, but it's, I'm not really staring at a solution in that.[00:48:11] That piece of work. It's really more of saying, Hey, here's, here's the problem that I, I was too dumb to really know in advance. And, and I hate to be that guy that says, Hey, here's the problem. I don't have a solution. You know, this is not how I work in business, but I think this one's important enough to put out there.[00:48:29] I can think of a few things that might help us, you know, break the chain a little bit, but gosh, it's such, it's the system is designed that way. I just didn't realize it when you have elected judges and, you know, you can get into the elect, diverse, appointed judges debate, and you know, how expensive it costs, you know, it is to hire attorneys and get the right kind of representation.[00:48:52] There's all sorts of things you can sort of imagine, but it's, it's such a big structural bear. I just, you know, At this point, it's just something that you have to take in, as you got to account for that in your business, you know, and it starts back with what kind of partners you have and that'll eliminate some of it, but it won't eliminate you getting sued from the outside or, you know, doing something like that.[00:49:18] And you'll be arrived back on court. [00:49:19] Michael Moore: [00:49:19] Right. I just had a, a futuristic blast of like it's Concho, Minnick. A junk professor at Yale teaching the class that you never got to learn. [00:49:33] Concho: [00:49:33] I mean, it's just, it's such an amazing experience, you know, and, and at the end of the day, that's what our life is made up of, his experiences and, and you know, that's why we're doing this podcast to share those, [00:49:46]Michael Moore: [00:49:46] on a lighter note.[00:49:48] Cause I really wanted to ask this question. I remember in one of our tours when you were taking me around and you know, you are looking at this a hundred thousand square foot building that does have this feeling of maybe [00:50:00] falling in on you. And I'm trying to figure out, like, how am I going to explain to underwriters that this is a really good risk that they need to underwrite at a fair price.[00:50:08]but we went to that, that backroom where. All of the artists gathered to get ready to come up on stage. And obviously as president, you got to be back there a lot, like give us a couple of highlights of some of the artists, some of the stories, some of the things that you saw back there as [00:50:24] they [00:50:24] were getting ready.[00:50:27] Concho: [00:50:27] This is where you might need to edit. Gosh, that's, I'd have to say, think about, I've had plenty of great music experiences, on, yeah. You know, Ryan being him is probably the pinnacle of that while we were there, we can talk about that. But in terms of backstage, you know, I never approached it from being in off for some reason, because I'd been around it a lot in my life.[00:50:51] And so I never really, I just. Treat is part of the, you know, the business and really providing hospitality. To artists and gosh, it's hard to, hard to pin it down. We would just back there with little bitty bands, just trying to, with their first ever performance on the main stage, the ability vibes, like guys like Mike and the moon pies.[00:51:13] Right. Who I love and, you know, and it's just. creating friendships with them and encouraging them and, you know, seeing how they're living their life to, Willie Nelson, you know, which is, even when, when you're running the honky tonk, they don't let you close to Willie Nelson. Right? He is. But, who I've I have met and I have talked to, but, in are really Revere.[00:51:39] It's really hard to say a defining moment. I think that when, when you're back there, you know, all the artists are signing the wall, painting their logo and things like that. And so, you know, we're staring at, you know, the Waylon Jennings signature on the wall, right. And then under its shooter, his son, and we just started adding to it.[00:51:59] You know, we're adding Lee, Bryce and rival sons and. You know, Florida, Georgia line. And I certainly had some really incredible, like invited back to the artist's bus experiences. You know, [00:52:17] that's what I'm talking [00:52:18] about. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I did see the, the glowing red eyes, skull bong on, you know, on certain artist's bus, but the I've seen it all in through that context, but, I guess it was an overall impact of just adding to those layers back there.[00:52:38] We were opening up the walls and drawing more and, and having artists sign. And then we reconfigured the room and we felt like we were a part of, of some big momentum that had started decades before us, that we were carrying on and we thought it was important. You know what we were doing. I'd like to think of.[00:53:02] I think there's probably a reason I can't really remember. Yeah. Fair enough.[00:53:10] I met a lot of great guys from, you know, Dwight Yoakum who get hit a lot of times gets a bad rap for being, not such a pleasant human, to Lee. So I really love, [00:53:20] you know, Kevin Fowler. I could go on and on. You know, I don't know. I guess there, there was no real big defining moment where I saw someone pass out and fall on the ground.[00:53:31] Cause I certainly saw that. Right. You know, and all sorts of things that shouldn't be backstage there backstage you see there. And you know, I think it's just the, what I enjoyed about is just the collective. just being a part of helping these guys do what they're doing. You know, I like hospitality.[00:53:51] I figured that out about myself over the years, maybe we like making them feel good about being there and you see how these guys live. It's, you know, some are a really great professionals, you know, and some of them are just making it from party to party. Right. You know, and you, you see all of that. Sure.[00:54:09] See the guys who won't touch a single drop of alcohol until they're backstage after the show. And then you see guys who stumble in to, you know, at three o'clock and their shows at 10 o'clock and you're like, Holy shit, they're going to make it on stage. [00:54:27] Michael Moore: [00:54:27] Right. [00:54:29] Concho: [00:54:29] And so I don't know, it was such a big kaleidoscope of things that happened back there.[00:54:35] Yeah, I've had a few artists asked me to sign my name, you know, next to theirs when, Oh, when we signed the wall. And, and that was great for me to be a part of it. And, you know, we recorded a few albums of Billy Bob's albums were there, and I think that's sort of a dying art form there, but, I don't know if that's real viable business model or long-term anymore, but that was certainly fun.[00:54:59] We recorded Billy Joe shaver. I believe I was when I was there. It's a good one. And you know, then the festivals, right. We, I did for Willie's pig next while I was there. And those are each collections of 20 plus pans, you know, and that kind of cadence to gear up for that, put that on for a day. And interact with all of them in that way and live physically, I could live that experience, right.[00:55:28] It's a lot of fun, you know, and it told us we could do it. And that's what gave us the confidence that our team could do it in other countries and other cities and things like that. [00:55:38] Bob Wierema: [00:55:38] I was going to ask you, as you kind of look back on some of your experiences there and even through what you went through.[00:55:44] Is there anything that if you look back, I know hindsight's always 20, 20, but you'd say, man, I really wish I would've done this differently. Or I did play my cards kind of the way I would play them. If I look back today, [00:55:58] Concho: [00:55:58] gosh, it's hard to say, you know, There was the business had been around for 30 years when I showed up.[00:56:06] And you would think that there would be all sorts of systems in place and, you know, it would be more advanced and I probably should have done my due diligence more. I talked about that a lot, you know, and when we came in, I started doing really innovative things like. Adding some HR, you know, budgeting, right?[00:56:26] Yeah. Who would have thought cleaning up the GL and you know, it was such a Malay of coming from nowhere to something you could really get your hands around on a monthly basis [00:56:40] that. You know, all those business decisions after business decisions, after personnel decisions, you know, there were so many of them that we had to get through so fast.[00:56:49] I couldn't point you to one, you know, that I wish I would have done that differently. I think that, you know, the, the biggest obstacle coming in, which I didn't realize was, was going to be my family. I thought there was just more. Yeah, there certainly love and understanding and relationships there, but that's not what it takes in business, you know, and I didn't realize the extent, Bob of how much my dad and stepmother bill about was a part of their identity, you know, and I probably could have seen more of that in advance and prepared some kind of plan around that, you know, I thought I treated them respectfully when, when Pam decided to retire massive events and parties and things like that.[00:57:41] But it was, I didn't anticipate that it was, they would have such a hard time letting go and it wasn't like I was pushing them out the door, but they knew they had to go. It was time for the new degenerations, but all the owners were asking for right. But it still came back to me. It was, it was, I was the catalyst for it and I don't think they ever really got over.[00:58:05] I don't know what the Brian antidote to that would have been.[00:58:09]Bob Wierema: [00:58:09] Yeah, no, it's, it's interesting because as we've had these conversations here with other, folks in business, you know, the family aspect comes into the conversation and, you know, you get both sides of it. It worked out really well. And then.[00:58:22] You get the side, we're a desert knit. [00:58:24] It's I mean, it's hard. It just puts a [00:58:27] totally different dynamic into a partnership. Cause your point when money and greed and ego gets involved with it and it's family, it's tough. [00:58:36] Concho: [00:58:36] Yeah. And I think that. You know, the whole imposter syndrome thing, like the probability that happened when it's a family situation is I think amplified because parents always have this, some amount of separation between who they are, their, their work life and how their kids perceive them.[00:58:56] And when I got to Billy Bob's, I mean, you just, this whole chapter opens up of well, Damn, I didn't, I didn't know that about you guys. And, you know, I think, you know, I was the smart Yale MBA, right. That was your, you know, fixing everything. And I'm sure I made some mistakes in there with what we did. The results were happening though.[00:59:21] And, you know, I think it bothered, I think my success bothered them in some ways and they felt like they might've been the, you know, the, the generation that. Then maybe they weren't there with the technologies and, and all the things that we were doing. And, I think it bothered them. They, I think they described some of that to me, unfortunately.[00:59:41] And, yeah, there's probably some lessons in there how to handle that better. I felt like I was going slow, but Mayo wasn't going slow enough. [00:59:51] Michael Moore: [00:59:51] Well, yeah. I mean, speed in business is defined by the individual. Right. [00:59:56] So, [00:59:56] I mean, it. Well, it seems slow to you and your sort of [01:00:00] worldly knowledge you were bringing back to sleepy old Fort worth.[01:00:05] Although I would say we're, we're very much in a Renaissance phase now again, I mean, it's, it's, that's interesting perspective, you know, one thing that, I mean, I guess the, for me, like the good in all this, right? Cause we've talked about the legal system we've talked about. Money. We've talked about money, influencing the legal system.[01:00:25] Like I go back to that room though. And it's like, that's where business and art and careers, like all just met. And for that moment before they went on stage and they're inscribing their name on the wall, it was like, all that was just perfect. So, you know, I don't know how this is all going to turn out.[01:00:47] Maybe you can give us a little. Light into the future of what you think, but you certainly created a really special place. And we thank you for that. [01:00:59] Concho: [01:00:59] You know, I, wasn't part of it for, you know, a lot growing up. cause my dad was involved for years and years and you know, I got the opportunity to be president for seven years and then plus, or minus a year of being thrown in and out of the building.[01:01:13] I'm not sure what I created, but I feel great about. Pushing forward. Something that felt really authentic, you know, and when we created the vocabulary of our culture, when I was there, authentic was our first word and I still like that. And that's still one of my favorite sort of cultural words. It felt good to be a part of it.[01:01:39] You know, I don't know how it's going to turn out. I don't know. Obviously what the live music world is going to look like has changed a little bit over the past few months. [01:01:49] Michael Moore: [01:01:49] Yeah. [01:01:50] Concho: [01:01:50] I still love live music, you know, we've, we didn't touch on my bands when I was growing up. We can do that later, but, I love it.[01:01:59] I love hospitality, you know, festivals. I don't know what's going to happen at Villa. Doug's a, hopefully it endures, it will be 40 years old next year. And. You know, I think there's still a lot of good things going for it, you know? And it's, there's still a lot of the original owners hanging on is hopefully we have some permanent shifts here where it can, you know, grab a hold of the new that instill, intersect that with the old, you know, and it can, it can happen.[01:02:30] I'd like to see it happen on a global scale. That's where the real. That's why I took the job. That's, what's exciting about it to me, you know? it's not being managed that way now. There's no global vision there now. And hopefully that gets reignited somehow, you know, cause it really is a nice representation of Fort worth for Texas or in some ways America.[01:02:53] Michael Moore: [01:02:53] Right. You know, do you have any thought on what live music does look like? You know, post figuring out COVID-19 [01:03:06] Concho: [01:03:06] got it. You know, I've really been, just been drug into that in a very detailed way in the past few weeks. because we're the ability that is reopening. Right. And so I've been asked to, to weigh [01:03:20] in.[01:03:20] And talking a lot of my friends at AEG and live nation and things like that. And it's, I really don't know. I mean, I've got to think that the outdoor festival has an advantage, you know, for some right. And maybe that's self-serving because that's what I really love. Sure. You know, I think that's practical for this fall.[01:03:43] Maybe. maybe a little bit later, although most of them are getting canceled. I think you can. I see some real premium, live music entertainment experiences where you can have a lot of space. If I build my own venue, you know, if I get in the music business again, that's probably what I'll do a smaller super-premium is a venue.[01:04:01] I think there's, there's plenty of room to do, you know, 500 or a thousand person shows like that. And that'll be easier too. If people have this ongoing, you know, contagion mindset, you know, whether it's COVID 1920, 21, whatever it is, then they're going to think about that. And. I think it ultimately break down into different, you know, demographics that feel like they're okay to go be shoulder to shoulder with somebody and other people who, who don't, or just don't want to, you know, we're hearing that all the 20 somethings right now, or have the COVID cases are spiking big time.[01:04:41] Right. Because they don't, they're not doing to counter it. Right. I don't even think my 19 year old washes his hands, but. yeah, so I, I really, I wish I had more structural thought than that, but, you know, it's, you know, people are just, you know, my friends in the live music business are really more into like the near term of saving their company.[01:05:08] There's I thought for a long time, there's a, there's a big virtual. There's some opportunities to do, first reality type experiences with music. I still think there's a lot of frontiers there that have not been tapped ticketed events sitting virtually in a seat at a YouTube concert or whatever it is, you know, but, so maybe that accelerates a little bit.[01:05:33] Bob Wierema: [01:05:33] It's interesting. I just today, so, Michael knows Mumbai. My fiancé's a professional ballerina and the Joffrey ballet here in Chicago. And she got the note today. That they're canceling season for the year. [01:05:48] And so for, [01:05:49] you know, for an artist and somebody that's her career and that's her passion and what you grew up doing, you know, she's really struggling with like, what's, what's next?[01:05:59] Like, what do I do? I just kind of got this ripped away from me a little bit. How do I, how do I think about how I can do this? And then I'm thinking about the fans that go in the people and just all that community. That's just struggling right now around. We're not having, you know, to your point. I can't go to an outdoor concert.[01:06:16] I can't do these things that I love. They're a part of my life where my social circle, you know, it's, it's, it's tough right now. [01:06:23] Concho: [01:06:23] Was it her season? Just canceled? Going forward into 2021.

Welcome back! In today’s episode, Kent speaks with AAKP’s Board Member and Ambassador, Kevin Fowler. Kevin reflects on his transplant story in this very special episode.

Zane Williams se ha refugiado en Hill Country tras una carrera en solitario que ha dejado hasta siete álbumes muy recomendables. La banda la completan músicos de la solvencia del trovador Paul Eason, con tres álbumes propios además de ser el guitarrista habitual de Kevin Fowler, el multiinstrumentista Andy Rogers y una base ritmo que conforman el batería de Houston Lyndon Hughes y el bajista de Austin Sean Rodríguez. “Janie Lynn” se nos antoja como una canción perfecta para inaugurar el mes de julio en su primer fin de semana. El quinteto, con base en Texas, está encantado caminando por parajes fronterizos entre el country, el bluegrass y el folk, tal y como se manifiesta en su disco de debut, de título homónimo en el que aparecen ciertas referencias a Tom Petty, Jerry Jeff Walker o a James Taylor, como es el caso de “Somewhere Down The Road”, una canción con reflexiones de carretera donde, una vez más, las armonías vocales completan un edificio sonoro pleno de sugerencias. Hay personajes inolvidables, en el mejor de los sentidos, y ese es el caso de Tom Petty, el artista de Florida que nos abandonó hace casi tres años. Su carrera en solitario nos dejó tres álbumes impagables y el segundo de ellos, el mítico Wildflowers de 1994 se convirtió en una de las joyas de su discografía. En realidad, todos los Heartbreakers estuvieron al lado de su líder, excepto el batería Stan Lynch que fue sustituido por Steve Ferrone. Gracias a la familia de Petty y a sus archivos, se ha recuperado esta maqueta de uno de los temas punteros de aquel registro como es el caso de“You Don’t Know How It Feels”. En este caso, está grabada en su estudio casero un año antes de la edición del disco y los seguidores impenitentes del músico encontrarán diferencias en la letra, como una muestra más del proceso de creación. La versión que hoy escuchamos de “You Don’t Know How It Feels” da una sensación mucho más íntima y personal de la original. Además, encontramos un verso que más tarde aparecería en la penúltima canción de aquel mismo álbum, Crawling Back to You" que reflejó, como todo aquel Wildflowers, los 20 años de fracaso de Tom Petty en su matrimonio con Jane Benyo, de quien se divorciaría dos años más tarde. Había estrofas como "Estoy tan cansado de estar cansado/Seguro que la noche seguirá al día/La mayoría de las cosas que me preocupan/Nunca suceden de todos modos". Las sesiones de grabación de Wildflowers comenzaron en 1992, cuando el músico de Florida tenía la intención de dar continuidad a su debut en solitario Full Moon Fever del 89. Pero Petty había llegado a un acuerdo con Warner, con quien había grabado como miembro de los Traveling Wilburys, y aunque mantuvo a Rick Rubin como co-productor junto a Mike Campbell, decidió tomar el mando de aquel proyecto. De hecho, grabaron casi 30 canciones con la intención de que el álbum fuera doble, pero la compañía le convenció de que eligiera poco más de una docena. El éxito fue absoluto. Tras la muerte del músico se retomó la idea que él mismo expresó en sus últimos días de completar aquel proyecto, pero las diferencia entre la familia fue dilatando los tiempos. Ahora todo parece resuelto. El nuevo álbum de los Jayhawks, XOXO, que se publicará la próxima semana, evidencia que Gary Louris no tiene el monopolio del ahora cuarteto, especialmente en cuanto a la autoría de las canciones, aunque también existe un reparto en el protagonismo vocal. Además, la participación de Tim O’Reagan, Karen Grotberg y Marc Perlman se muestra sólida y sugestiva. O’Reagan y Grotberg, por ejemplo, han participado junto a Louris en la composición de “Bitter Pill”, que ilustra la búsqueda interminable de la felicidad sin conformarse con cada momento y que a nivel de texto es una especia de continuación de "Lovers Of The Sun" del álbum Paging Mr. Proust de hace cuatro años. Aquel disco llegó tras el fugaz regreso a los Jayhawks de Mark Olson, la banda regresó a una formación de cuarteto, la misma que editó en 1997 Sound of Lies y que fue responsable de un álbum tan brillante como Smile en 2000 y la misma que nos ha regalado XOXO en pleno 2020. Entre aquella docena de canciones selectas encontramos “Lovers Of The Sun”, donde los Jayhawks parecían estar mucho más cerca de Liverpool que de Minneapolis. El espíritu de los Beatles había hecho mella en Gary Louris y a nivel de texto ahora tiene continuidad en “Bitter Pill”, de su último álbum. El cantante y compositor Ray LaMontagne se ha esmerado en Monovision, su último álbum, convirtiéndolo en un prodigio a nivel creativo con ejemplos palpables del estilo de "I Was Born to Love You", donde la sencillez e incluso la discreción se adueñan de una historia mil veces contada. Este octavo disco del músico de New Hampshire es volver a lo básico, con una portada que incluso enfatiza con la idea mediante una vieja grabadora de cinta abierta. La calidez y la artesanía protagonizan un trabajo reconfortante de tonalidades sepia que resulta imprescindible en estos tiempos. Es prácticamente indiscutible que las mejores composiciones de aquellos tiempos convulsos de comienzos de los 70 fueron repartiéndose por distintos álbumes del canadiense Neil Young, como si quisiera esconder el sufrimiento que la separación de su novia de entonces supuso en su vida. Aun así, parece que dejó algunos temas de estructura poderosa como “Separate Ways”, que ahora ha utilizado para abrir “oficialmente” Homegrown. La amargura del final de aquella relación con la actriz Carrie Snodgress, es un impacto frontal en el disco El tono melancólico de Homegrown se establece de inmediato con "Separate Ways", con Ben Keith en el Steel, el contrapunto de Levon Helm y un recuerdo sonoro inevitable de Harvest, aunque en aquel legendario trabajo el sentimiento era totalmente inverso. Neil Young empezó a cantar en su gira del 93 y dejó de hacerlo en la de 2014, cuando su matrimonio con la desaparecida Pegi Young se estaba desmoronando. Self Made Man es el nombre genérico del nuevo disco de las hermanas Rebecca y Megan Lovell, nativas de Calhoun, en Georgia, a quienes conocemos como Larkin Poe desde 2010. Cinco años antes, junto a su otra hermana, Jessica, habían formado el trío Lovell Sisters. Seis Eps y cinco álbumes de estudio es la tarjeta de presentación de esta pareja que ahora reside en Nashville rompiendo la imagen habitual de Music Row. Ellas tienen una evidente herencia sureña, con sus raíces humedecidas por el rock, el country y el blues. Su esfuerzo por trascender les ha hecho dominar buena parte de los modos y maneras de esos estilos básicos de la música popular, procurando mostrar una diversidad de sonidos que combinan modernidad y tradición sin que parezca disonante o artificioso. Este quinto disco ha escalado hasta la primera plaza de las listas de blues de Billboard, gracias a canciones como "Back Down South", con la que resulta bastante lógico que haya quienes hablen de ellas como de las “hermanas pequeñas de los Allman Brothers”. Puede parecernos mentira, pero ya hace dos años que Susan Santos fue premiada en los European Blues Award como Best Performance y en 2019 se llevó el LA Music Critics Award de la californiana ciudad de Los Angeles, al mejor álbum gracias a No U Turn, su quinto y último disco por el momento. Además, el pasado verano la vimos al lado de Billy Gibbons en las Noches del Botánico, y no ha parado girar por Europa y Estados Unidos en los meses previos a la pandemia. Por suerte, tuvo tiempo de grabar en en North Hollywood y regalarnos el estreno de “Dirty Money”, uno de los cortes de su próximo EP. Con una evolución creciente y un marcado acento de progreso, la artista extremeña contó con una base de ritmo formada por el batería Anthony Morra, un nativo de Nashville con un más que suficiente prestigio, y el bajista Fabrizio Grossi, que también ha ejercido como productor de un trabajo rotundo, enérgico y que permite que Susan Santos muestre sus habilidades como instrumentista. Hoy es 4 de julio. En este día de 1776, el Congreso Continental Americano adoptó la Declaración de Independencia. Aquella fecha pasó a ser la del cumpleaños de los Estados Unidos de América. Han pasado 244 años, y en la despedida de nuestro programa de hoy queremos felicitar a aquel país y escuchar a una de las bandas que se han mostrado más activas en estos tiempos de pandemia: Old Crow Medicine Show. Su líder, Ketch Secor, nos ha regalado una nueva canción que compuso antes de la muerte de George Floyd y de las protestas posteriores. “Pray For America” pretende ser un escape, una forma de reflexionar y dar sentido a ciertas cosas… todos juntos. Secor ha comentado que se ha fijado en canciones inmortales como “Blowin’ In The Wind”, “God Bless America” o “This Land Is Your Land” por su mensaje universal, en el que todos puedan verse reflejados. Es una respuesta al racismo, es un grito de justicia ante el colapso económico o la brutalidad policial y tiene mucha intención de inspirar la unidad y poner al día ese libro de canciones de la música americana que parece necesitar actualizarse.

A primeros de abril vio la luz el álbum de título homónimo del californiano Logan Ledger, pero acaba de lanzar un nuevo tema propio como “River Of Fools”, que originalmente formó parte de la serie Amazon Original vinculada al productor T Bone Burnett, con la melancolía y la elegancia de un Western gótico puesto al día. A Logan Ledger le gusta dejarse mecer por las formas clásicas del estilo, con argumentos que les fueron propios a George Jones, Lefty Frizzell e incluso Roger Miller, como en este caso. Este comienzo de programa incide en las melodías clásicas del country de los buenos tiempos y ahora nos lleva al recuerdo de las formas de Merle Haggard y los Strangers de la mano de Zephaniah OHora que, por fin, anticipa su segundo álbum, previsto para finales de agosto, con esta delicia llamada “All American Singer”, con ciertos ecos de "The Fightin' Side of Me". El músico mantiene sus relatos de historias honestas y reales, reivindicando que la country music puede hacerse en cualquier lugar. Zephaniah grabó este trabajo en The Bunker de Brooklyn, NY, a donde se mudó desde su natal New Hampshire para conseguir trabajo en el popular Skinny Dennis de Brooklyn, un bar que debe su nombre al que fuera bajista de Guy Clark. Para este nuevo disco que da continuidad a This Highway, su debut de hace tres años, ha contado con la producción del desaparecido Neal Casal en abril de 2019, además de recuperar el Steel guitar de Jon Graboff, así como John Shannon a la guitarra, el propio Neal Casal e invitados como Courtney Jaye y Dori Freeman haciendo coros y el gran Mickey Raphael en la armónica. Es posible que Leroy Virgil sea uno de los grandes compositores del country contemporáneo aún por descubrir. Con suS raíces en Reno, Nevada, a pesar de haber nacido en Aberdeen, en el estado de Washington, el líder vital de Hellbound Glory, nunca había dedicado el tiempo suficiente a homenajear a la conocida como “la ciudad pequeña más grande del mundo”, famosa por Kurt Cobain. El álbum Pure Scum es, en cuanto a historias, una especie de viaje por los estereotipos más sórdidos que se le han agregado a Reno desde siempre. Y Leroy Virgil parece hasta estar orgulloso de que la virtud no sea precisamente una de las características de sus personajes. El mundo de Hellbound Glory es punzante, con una cierta poesía en como presentan a los desafectos de la sociedad en la vida real. "Damned Angel" tiene una especial brillantez gracias a la producción de Shooter Jennings y a su banda de acompañamiento que han pulido el resultado final. Un caso parecido al de Leroy Virgil, escondido tras Hellbound Glory, podemos observar con Zane Williams y Hill Country. El tejano, con siete discos en solitario y una veneración secular en la escena del Lone Star State, se ha refugiado ahora en una especie de supergrupo donde se han reunido, además de Zane, Paul Eason, guitarrista habitual de Kevin Fowler, el multiinstrumentista Andy Rogers y una base ritmo que conforman el batería de Houston Lyndon Hughes y el bajista de Austin Sean Rodríguez. Hay buena química y una variedad de formas que abarcan rock clásico, bluegrass, country y folk con unas armonías vocales como arma secreta. "Hill Country" como término puede asociarse a Luckenbach y Jerry Jeff Walker, a las colinas de los Apalaches o a las de la dorada California. En todos los casos son influencias de una especial diversidad creativa que han dado origen a sonidos fuertemente enraizados. Su paseo por la montaña en “Evergreen” es uno de los momentos mágicos de este trabajo cálido. “Richest Man” deja claro que el más rico del cementerio está igual de muerto que todos los pobres enterrados que le rodean. Es el nuevo single y uno de los cortes de Aeonic, tiene que ver con la indefinición del tiempo y que da título al último álbum de Balsam Range, el grupo de Haywood County, en Carolina de Norte, formado en 2007 y que durante una década viene conformado una de las carreras más brillantes de la escena del bluegrass. El quinteto tomó el nombre de Great Balsam Range, una cadena montañosa que rodea a su condado de origen. Eso sí, eliminaron “Great” para no ser pretenciosos. Sturgill Simpson es una persona indescifrable. El pasado 5 de este mes de junio, el artista de Kentucky, que se ha recuperado con extraordinaria rapidez del COVID-19, subió al escenario del mítico Ryman Auditorium para anticipar el que será su nuevo álbum, un proyecto dedicado íntegramente al bluegrass y en el que contará con algunos de los mejores músicos de Nashville. La grabación de este nuevo disco fue anunciada en Instagram por el propio artista con un mensaje que borró muy pronto en el que avisaba “Preparen su Zyrtec (que es un antihistamínico contra la alergia) porque estamos cortando la hierba”. Sturgill Simpson es una persona indescifrable. El pasado 5 de este mes de junio, el artista de Kentucky, que se ha recuperado con extraordinaria rapidez del COVID-19, subió al escenario del mítico Ryman Auditorium para anticipar el que será su nuevo álbum, un proyecto dedicado íntegramente al bluegrass y en el que contará con algunos de los mejores músicos de Nashville. Entre las canciones interpretadas por Sturgill Simpson en la hora aproximada de concierto, mostró una serie de temas perteneciente a sus álbumes anteriores pasados por el filtro del bluegrass. Ese fue el caso de “Long White Line”, uno de los cortes de Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, que produjo Dave Cobb en 2014 y que supuso su segundo disco en solitario, grabado con 4.000 dólares en cinco días y medio. El concierto de Sturgill Simpson en un Ryman Auditorium sin público tuvo mucho de recorrido por su carrera, que no olvidó sus aventuras como miembro de Sunday Valley, formado en 2004 junto al batería Edgar Purdom III y el bajista Gerald Evans, aunque tuvieron un impasse debido al trabajo de Sturgill en el ferrocarril. El grupo se reformó y en 2011 publicaron el álbum To The Wind And On To Heaven, donde se incluyó la versión original de “All The Pretty Colors”, recordada en el Ryman de esta forma. El escenario acogió a Sturgill Simpson con su Martin D-28 acompañado por la mandolinista Sierra Hull, Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Mike Bub (bajo), Scott Vestal (banjo), Tim O'Brien y Mark Howard (guitarras) y su viejo amigo Miles Miller (batería). Como el propio artista recordó, "probablemente la mejor banda de bluegrass del planeta". Es indudable que el nuevo álbum de Sturgill Simpson va a ser todo un acontecimiento, con esa revisión tan particular de algunas de las canciones de sus discos precedentes. Así ha ocurrido con “All Around You”, una de las piezas de A Sailor's Guide To Earth de hace cuatro años. Aquel tercer disco del kentuckyano superó por entonces todas las previsiones, dando un notable giro a su andadura y logrando situarse en la cima de las listas y el reconocimiento de la Academia. “All Around You” ya fue uno de los cortes más reconocibles y cercanos de aquel trabajo que ahora en esta versión parece perfecto para paisajes agrestes y saludables. El concierto de Sturgill Simpson en el Ryman de hace una semana también incluyó un par de versiones de los Stanley Brothers, una banda seminal para los seguidores del bluegrass. Al margen de “Sharecropper's Son”, Sturgill eligió “Pretty Polly”, un tradicional que la pareja de hermanos grabó en 1951. Ahora tan solo nos queda esperar la edición de este nuevo registro de un músico siempre impaciente por sorprendernos en su actividad creativa. Entre las últimas ocupaciones de Sturgill Simpson antes de la llegada de la pandemia debemos recordar la producción de su último álbum¸ That's How Rumors Get Started, de su buena amiga Margo Price, para lo que se marcharon a los legendarios estudios EastWest de Hollywood. El resultado refleja un momento determinado que ahora adquiere un significado diferente, como si todo se hubiera ralentizado. El trabajo, que habla de su propia maternidad, el estrellato, la industria Nashville o la crisis nacional de salud, da la impresión de ser un álbum más cercano, en el que ha prescindido de las motivaciones políticas que incidieron mucho en sus anteriores discos, aunque Margo mantiene en suS declaraciones públicas su vigor habitual. Compuesta por la artista de Aledo, en Illinois, y su marido, Jeremy Ivey, “Letting Me Down” está protagonizada por un par de adolescentes que intentan escapar de lo cotidiano y que tiene cierta similitud con unos amigos de secundaria. En este álbum podemos encontrar canciones mucho más personales, que hablan de la maternidad, el estrellato, la transformación de Nashville o la crisis de salud. Sarah Jarosz nos ha regalado un disco tan brillante como World On The Ground, el primero en solitario desde hace 4 años. Ha sido grabado en su estudio casero de Manhattan y ha contado con la producción de John Leventhal, marido de Rosanne Cash, para centrarse en la vida en una ciudad pequeña, como pudiera ser su natal Wimberley, en Texas, con poco más de 2.500 habitantes. Es una especie de retrato fuera del tiempo. El título de World On The Ground está tomado de uno de sus temas más sobresalientes, “Pay It No Mind”, la canción de un pájaro que contempla el mundo y que sirve como ilustración de la portada del álbum, un cuadro de Erin E. Murray que sus padres le regalaron. Brit Taylor es la pareja de Adam Chaffins, pero es mucho más que eso. Crecida al este de Kentucky, ha mantenido sus raíces en su traslado a Nashville y ha superado un descalabro emocional que gracia a su determinación y música. Así nació “Waking Up Ain't Easy”, que reescribe su nuevo plan de vida, sobreponiéndose a los peores presagios. Esta nueva canción se ha convertido en un tema refrescante debido a su vulnerabilidad e incluso su complejidad, con una agudeza emocional que lo hace muy sugestivo. Es evidente que Steve Earle es un personaje especialmente inquieto y esta etapa de aislamiento producido por la pandemia le mueve a compartir con sus seguidores sus inquietudes. Ahora hemos conocido una versión acústica de "Times Like These", una canción compuesta al comienzo de la presidencia de Donald Trump que resume la ansiedad de una era como esta y recordando que aún puede haber esperanza a pesar de lo sombrío del presente. La versión junto a los Dukes se grabó en el Electric Ladyland Studios mientras estaban trabajando en su último disco, Ghost Of West Virginia, y se publicará el 29 de agosto cuando se celebre el Record Store Day. Nosotros ya la escuchamos en su momento en el programa. La emotividad de la música de John Prine ha regresado cuando su familia ha compartido la última canción grabada por el mítico artista que nos arrebató el Covid-19 el pasado mes de abril. Se trata de "I Remember Everything", compuesta por Prine y su buen amigo Pat McLaughlin y contando con la producción de Dave Cobb para contar recuerdos del pasado que dejan una marca indeleble. Se dio a conocer muy poco antes del homenaje transmitido por redes sociales el pasado jueves por la noche con artistas como Margo Price, Jason Isbell y Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile o Kacey Musgraves.

Special guest Hudson Moore: You don't top a chart by accident, certainly not in Texas – you top a chart through hard work and talent. Thanks to an abundance of both, that's what Hudson Moore did; topping the Texas chart in December of 2012 with his debut single. Written and co-produced by Hudson, the aptly titled ‘Fireworks' not only rocketed all the way to the top spot… it stayed there for two weeks. In addition to rocking clubs on his own, Hudson has been a busy show opener, warming up crowds for legends like ZZ Top, Alan Jackson, Jerry Jeff Walker and Michael Martin Murphy, as well as other heavyweights like Pat Green, Josh Abbott, Chris Young, Kevin Fowler, Stoney LaRue, Reckless Kelly, and dozens more. 2013 will see Hudson expand his fan base even further as he books more headlining dates and continues to open shows for mainstream artists, including Multi-Platinum ® superstars Rascal Flatts and Trace Adkins. To find out more about Hudson and his music join Take 2 Radio Music on Wednesday, Jan. 21st at 3pm eastern for our chat!
