Texas country with a soul core, family-band chemistry, and a live show built on harmonies, hot guitars, and songs that actually mean something. The Reed Brothers sit down to talk about the sound they're sharpening right now, the new album they're building, and why their best music comes from keeping enough room for the studio to surprise them. Keegan and Kyle Reed trace the band’s path from San Antonio roots and childhood nights at Cibolo Creek Country Club to the present-day version of the group, where recording, writing, and performing all feed each other. You’ll hear how their process has evolved from learning the ropes in the studio to co-producing as a full band, why they don’t want to overcook a song before it gets recorded, and what changes when the people creating the parts are the same people who will take them on stage. We break down the songwriting habits that actually work for them, from midnight text ideas and voice memos to songs that arrive fully formed on the road. Kyle talks about the pull of the studio and the thrill of hearing parts come together in real time, while Keegan opens up about writing with the band in his head and chasing the moment a song finally feels alive.They also get into the live experience that sets the Reed Brothers apart - harmonies, tube amps, a blend of country, rock, and R&B influences, and a rotating cast of voices that keeps each set fresh. Nate’s standout vocals, Jordan’s country-leaning bass work, their side project Les Odessa, and the covers that fit their lane all come up, along with the brothers’ long history of playing with and learning from Adam Hood, Jason Isbell, Keith Gattis, and the rest of the Texas songwriting world.If you care about family bands, well-built songs, or the kind of roots music that still feels dangerous when the lights go down, this one is for you. You’ll come away with a better sense of how the Reed Brothers make their records, why their live show lands, and what’s coming next as they roll out a full album the right way.Perfect for listeners who love Texas music, thoughtful songwriting, and bands that sound even bigger when you’ve seen them in the room.
Twin Fin: Building a Sound—and an Audience—of Their Own How do you grow a band when your music doesn’t fit neatly into one genre? Robbie Kelly of Twin Fin joins the Texas to Tennessee Podcast to talk about making surf-country, Americana, and reggae-inspired music in Hawaii—and finding fans far beyond the islands. Robbie shares how he builds songs on acoustic guitar, brings the band into the studio process, and creates a lively, crowd-focused show with unexpected covers and plenty of personality. He also reflects on the surreal feeling of selling out venues in cities where the band had never played, hearing fans sing along, and discovering how deeply a song can become tied to someone’s memories. The conversation gets into the realities of touring from Hawaii, the costs and risks of life on the road, choosing openers, and why playing live helps Twin Fin connect with listeners when their sound is difficult to categorize. Plus, the guys put Robbie through rapid-fire questions and the podcast’s signature Little Debbie snack debate. A warm and candid conversation about creative collaboration, independent music, and building a career one show—and one fan—at a time.
Kyle Garrett is turning “indie Texas country” into a real career, and the path is messier, funnier, and more strategic than most artists ever admit. He opens up about his new single, “High Livin’,” the radio push behind it, and its strong debut on the Texas Country Music Chart.Hosts Talbo and Soule Gravy get Kyle talking about the nuts and bolts of building a music career—from writing and recording with producer Tim Lightyear at Cosmic Mama to sending radio stations handwritten gifts and navigating the slow, awkward reality of booking his own shows. The Austin-based singer-songwriter has been steadily building momentum through relentless live performances, a growing catalog, and a sound that draws on rock, country, and pop-punk.In this episode, Kyle shares:How “High Livin’” grew from an inside joke with his band into a song about working hard for the life you wantWhy Tim Lightyear’s dive-in-and-push-it approach in the studio can be nerve-racking—but rewardingWhat radio promotion looks like for an independent artist, and why Kyle sees it as another avenue for marketingHow persistence and proof of audience demand can help artists book showsWhy respect, professionalism, and putting thought into a live show matterThe conversation also gets into the emotional side of the grind: unanswered emails, small wins, support from family and friends, and the reality that progress often comes inch by inch—not overnight. For artists, songwriters, and anyone curious about the work behind an independent music career, Kyle’s candid stories offer a look at what it takes to keep going.
