In this episode of The Watering Hole, Jacob Stelly joins us for an intimate session filled with live acoustic performances, deep dives into his songwriting process, and a laid-back conversation about the books that inspire him, the life of a touring musician, and what's next on his creative journey.Tune in for stories behind the songs, some unreleased gems, and real talk with one of Texas's rising Red Dirt voices.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Jeff Pojanowski. Jeff is a professor at Notre Dame Law School, where he teaches and writes about philosophy of law and legal interpretation. He also writes occasional columns for The Pillar. He has been living happily in Northern Indiana after escaping Washington, D.C., 15 years ago.Jeff's Music Pick: Turnpike TroubadoursThis is a rarity for Political Beats, in which we present a show driven largely by our guest's preferences. Jeff Pojanowski joined us previously for Pavement and Crowded House and by now we trust his musical judgement. For quite a while, he's been selling us hard on taking up the career of Turnpike Troubadours for an episode. With the recent release of a new album, and additional endorsements of the band from others in our sphere, it seemed a good time to take him up on the offer.We're awfully glad we did.The Turnpike Troubadours, hailing from Oklahoma, have become one of the leading purveyors of Red Dirt country music, featuring songs that are masterclasses in storytelling, instrumentation, and authenticity. Look, if you don't like fiddle, you might be in the wrong place. Formed in 2005 by frontman Evan Felker and bassist R. C. Edwards, the band's early years were shaped by relentless touring. The first album, Bossier City, is almost more a collection of demos. The group wasn't quite fully formed yet. But on Diamonds & Gasoline (2010), everything began to click into place. As the band matured, their songwriting deepened without losing its raw immediacy. Albums like Goodbye Normal Street (2012) and The Turnpike Troubadours (2015) would be highlights of any band's career. Felker's songwriting stands out not just for its precision (though occasional lyrical duplicity can leave the listener wondering exactly what a song is about), but for its ability to evoke vivid rural landscapes. These are songs about places and towns that many Americans easily can picture in their mind. Musically, Kyle Nix's fiddle and Ryan Engleman's guitar work offered a dynamic counterpoint that always serves the song first.The band's career wasn't without turbulence, of course. After the 2017 release of A Long Way from Your Heart, the band entered a hiatus amid Felker's battle with alcoholism. Fans cheered the band's 2022 comeback, marked by the release of the Shooter Jennings-produced A Cat in the Rain. It's impossible to listen to songs on the record without putting them in the context of Felker's troubles. It's an album that likely had to be made, however, to bring the band to 2025's The Price of Admission, a release that all three of your hosts come to praise.There's probably still a lot of music left in the tank for Turnpike Troubadours, and there's no better time than now to jump on board to discover what you might have been missing.

Wyatt Flores is a 23-year-old singer-songwriter from Stillwater, Oklahoma, who's making a name for himself in the Red Dirt music scene, building on the musical legacy of his home state. He grew up on a ranch in a working-class family where he was surrounded by musicians, often hearing them play cowboy songs around a campfire. His father, a drummer, built him a stage in the backyard when he recognized his talent, and his Uncle Bobby taught him how to play guitar. Now Wyatt is playing in front of thousands of fans, singing at the Grand Ole Opry, and writing songs that are winning audiences with their honesty, heart, and vulnerability. His debut album, Welcome to the Plains, explores the rough—and sometimes violent—side of growing up in rural Oklahoma, but it also shows a talent for storytelling and a wry sense of humor. Sid talks to Wyatt about why he's so happy to be back in Stillwater after a couple of years in Nashville, the mental health struggles he's openly shared with his fans, the family member he wants to have on his podcast, and why his favorite food is a breakfast burrito.

This week on the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, we dig into an exciting alternative crop with real potential for Southern Plains producers—camelina. Host Dave Deken is joined by Amanda Duvall and the Red Dirt dream team—Dr. Josh Lofton and Dr. Raedan Sharry—for an eye-opening discussion on how camelina is reshaping crop rotation conversations. From its weed control benefits and wide planting window to its growing market in sustainable aviation fuel, this oilseed crop is gaining serious ground.Whether you're battling failed wheat acres, chasing new income streams, or simply exploring agronomic flexibility, camelina might just be your new go-to. Amanda breaks down the crop's adaptability to various tillage systems, its drought tolerance, and how it integrates with grazing and cover crop strategies. With harvesting before wheat and low input requirements, it's a crop that offers profitability without complexity. RedDirtAgronomy.com

Join us as we explore Jessica's inspiring journey from eastern Oklahoma to becoming an integral part of a diversified farming operation in the northwest. She shares her experience transitioning from the wetter, more humid climate of eastern Oklahoma to the drier conditions of the west, adapting to new challenges in soil health, crop insurance trends, and unpredictable weather patterns. With deep roots in agriculture, Jessica and her husband, Clint, have grown their operation while raising a family that values hard work and the land.We also dive into the benefits of no-till farming, how soil conservation plays a key role in long-term sustainability, and what it takes to balance farming, family, and a career in crop insurance. Jessica reflects on her time at the assessor's office, where she gained valuable insights into her new community in Major County. Plus, we reminisce about our days working together at OSU under Dr. Karen Hickman. Don't miss Jessica's take on the power of networking among producers and how changing weather patterns continue to shape the future of agriculture in Oklahoma.

This week, three stories about connection: connection to the land and the sea, connection to history, connection to the divine and to ourselves. Weaving Ancestral Voices by Shareeka Helaluddin In our first story, Shareeka reconnects to faith and identity through the voice of the singer Sheila Chandra. Growing up in an interfaith household, Shareeka was immersed in a diverse sonic landscape of Islamic recitations, Hindu chants, Bollywood, folk, and Western music. It wasn’t until Sheila Chandra’s drone-based singing resonated deeply within her that she found solace in voice. “Songs that weave through past and present, a voice that pierces through discordance and uncertainty. An immersive journey of glossolalia and spiritual vocal gateways, reckoning with - and returning to - faith; all bound together by the voice of Sheila Chandra.” This story was produced by Shareeka Helaluddin. The Supervising Producer was Mell Chun, with support from John Tjhia. The artwork was provided by Rekha Dhanaram who can be found @rekha.dhanaram on instagram. The story features the voices of Aarti Jadu and Sheila Chandra, on instagram @thesheilachandra. Our next two stories are recordings from the Red Dirt Poetry Festival, an annual showcase of spoken word and poetry from Mparntwe, Central Australia. Black Pearl of the Desert by Marie Ellis In the first story, Marie takes us into the very heart of the desert. The Black Pearl’s coming - timeless and untamed. Red Dirt by Melanie Mununngurr In the second story, Melanie confronts colonial violence, systemic oppression, and cultural erasure. Through the enduring strength of saltwater people and the unbroken connection between land, water, and ancestry, we celebrate the resilience and defiant song of those who refuse to be forgotten. The water remembers all—carrying echoes of ancestors, the weight of sorrow, and the rhythm of survival. Black Pearl of the Desrt and Red Dirt were performed and recorded at the Red Dirt Poetry Festival, a celebration of spoken word and poetry from Mpartnwe, Central Australia.

His talents eventually led to him playing with some incredible musicians in his career including Selena, Rick Trevino, The Mike McClure Band & Stoney LaRue.   He's now working a lot in the recording space as well as still working as a guitar player when his services are called upon.  He's had some amazing experiences and some that have been tragic in his life but as you'll hear in the interview, he's taken it in stride.   GET HEALTHY WITH PETE !   Through one of these events in his life he nearly lost his ability to play guitar completely when he nearly cut the index finger on his left hand completely off!     But you can't keep a good man down for long and he's still putting his God-given talents to work!  He's a good human being and one I'm glad to be lucky enough to call a friend!   To get in touch with Rodney via email you can reach out to him at guitartroubadour01@gmail.com   SWEETWATER  - Buy your gear using our affiliate link!

We wanna hear from you! Send us a message here :) After an explosive arrival and a series of grassroots hits, Hudson Westbrook is now taking his place among a new generation of country singer-songwriters. Self-taught and proudly rough-around-the-edges, the rising star made his splash debut with “Take It Slow” in 2024 (while still enrolled at Texas Tech) and is now pushing ahead, revitalizing the organic country-rock of the Red Dirt revolution – but refusing to be held down by his roots. Hailing from the small town of Stephenville, Texas, and raised on everything from George Strait to gangsta rap, he began playing guitar in 2020 and wrote his first song after enrolling in college in 2023. "Take It Slow” was one of the first songs Westbrook ever wrote and its edgy vocal charm and warm country-rock buzz made it a bonafide hit. Westbrook followed with the windows-down anthem “Two Way Drive” and the propulsive new single, “5 to 9” – a showcase of the young star's song-crafting growth, on top of his innate skill. “5 to 9” was joined by the narrative stunner “Johnny Walker” and followed by “Dopamine,” which brings out the essence of youthful love and connection juxtaposed with the typical college lifestyle. Hudson's latest single, "House Again," his take on a heartbreak anthem. Intent on taking the Texas country spirit far beyond the state line, non-stop travel to meet concert demand includes headlining dates and a tour supporting honky-tonk hitmakers Midland in late 2024, with more new music and shows on the way.Support the show

Along with working a day job for a little ol publication called the New York Times, native Okie and Red Dirt Music Fan, Josh Crutchmer, is a journalist who's played a significant role in getting recognition for the artists and the music we all dig for years now. For example, Josh just spent an entire year basically embedded with Wyatt Flores as he rides a very hot streak into the fall.  He was in the studio with him as he recorded his latest album. Josh has also been spending a lot of time with The Great Divide as they capped their comeback this year with some Texas Music honors as well as their Opry debut in July and their Ryman debut (opening for Wyatt) coming in December! Over the past year, Josh has also had his articles published in Rolling stone featuring artists like Flatland Calvary, Wade Bowen, Dylan Gossett, Koe Wetzel, American Aquarium, Cody Canada, Reckless Kelly, Muscadine Bloodline, Dasha, Shane Smith, Old 97s and Charles Wesley Godwin. So, let's just say Josh has his pulse on the scene and the exciting time we're all experiencing in our favorite genre of original music.  We were thrilled to have him on the show and we can't recommend his book highly enough!
