The Kaleidoscope Tour by Lauren Daigle was one such experience – a vibrant mosaic of funky fresh band members, soulful background vocals, friendship bracelets, signed shoes, and, of course, life-changing songs.

FESTIVAL RECAP: Outlaws & Legends Fest’s 13th year in Abilene full of great tunes and great community vibe
April 16, 2024 by Leave a Comment
Sometime in early 2022, I was either driving home or driving to Fort Worth and along Highway 84 when a billboard caught my eye. It was for a music festival. Two days, one stage, and from what I could see, a pretty killer lineup. I remember Robert Earl Keen, Brent Cobb, Sammy Kershaw, and Jack […]
FESTIVAL RECAP: Concan’s Frio River Music Festival dodges rain and brings unforgettable weekend
March 28, 2024 by Leave a Comment
Concan, Texas is one of Texas’s hallmark Spring Break destinations. Home of the Frio River, home of Garner State Park, nestled in the Hill Country, so many Texans flock to the city every spring and summer to take in all of that. Well, except for me I guess. I have spent so many years looking […]

In 2019, Texas Tech announced enhancements to the football fan experience on gamedays, as they do nearly every year. However, the biggest focus of the 2019 announcement was the complete revamping of Raider Alley. It was moved to the engineering key and the biggest addition was a stage for pre-game concerts. The first season was […]
The Music That Made My Year
December 19, 2023 by 1 Comment
This year, I consumed plenty of music. 74, 595 minutes to be exact, according to my Spotify Wrapped. To be entirely honest, I had some pretty strange listening habits and I was apprehensive coming into this year’s Wrapped season (don’t worry, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought). For most of the year, it […]

Unreal Unearth: Hozier Took Us To Church, Then Led Us Through Hell
December 9, 2023 by Leave a Comment
Hozier’s third studio album, Unreal Unearth is undoubtedly my favorite album release from this year. Not only has he been one of my favorite artists for the last near-decade, I also believe that he is one of the greatest songwriters of the 21st century. Unreal Unearth is absolutely Hozier’s most grand masterpiece and, in my […]
