“Zach Bryan recently called Chasen Wayne, “The only fuck’n legend left in Texas.” Willie might have something to say about that. Of course that’s hyperbole, but listening to Chasen’s new album Strange Places, you kind of understand what Zach was getting at.
Wayne is also the guy who books Austin’s Honky Tonk SAGEBRUSH
along with slinging out authentic honky tonk tunes like “No Stranger” when he can.

Rachel Swain doesn’t mind when people two-step to her pain—she welcomes it. Raised on the sounds of country, bluegrass, and soul, Swain’s powerful voice and poignant songwriting have earned her recognition in the Americana scene over the past two decades. A native of Austin, Texas, and later Houston, Swain grew up surrounded by music, learning to play fiddle, guitar, and bass, and honing her skills in projects ranging from indie rock to 60s French pop. With an unmistakable sound that’s rooted in her Texas upbringing, Swain's music is as gritty as it is tender, capturing the full spectrum of human experience. Her upcoming full-length album is set to cement her place as one of the most exciting voices in Americana music today.
