   Tx2Tn Podcast Ep249 Logan Ellis

   Texas country is built on grit, good songs, and the kind of band chemistry you can only fake for about five minutes. Logan Ellis proves why the real thing matters—from writing songs on long drives to learning how to front a band with help from the right people, the right criticism, and a whole lot of time on stage.Logan joins Soule Gravy and Caleb Michael for a laid-back, hilarious, and unexpectedly deep conversation about what it actually takes to make it in red dirt music. You'll discover: How Logan writes songs from vibes, signs, random licks, and long drives Why honest feedback from experienced players can help you grow What it takes to go from bedroom guitarist to full-band frontman The covers he actually loves playing, from Shane Smith and the Saints to Turnpike Troubadours and Merle Haggard Why venue energy, crowd reaction, and post-show connections matter just as much as the setlist If you love Texas country, red dirt, songwriting, live shows, or hearing musicians talk shop, this one hits all the right notes.Logan also shares updates on his music, including his recently released track “Can't Be Tamed” and the upcoming single “Humble.” A fun listen for fans of independent country, working musicians, and anyone who knows the best shows are built on songs, sweat, and a little bit of tequila.

   Tx2Tn Podcast Ep248 Caroline Grace

   Caroline Grace opens up about the road from homeschooled bluegrass kid in western Oklahoma to rising country artist with a record deal and one of the biggest opportunities of her career. If you love story-driven country, honest songwriting, and the reality behind chasing music full time, this conversation is for you.Caroline shares how growing up in Elk City shaped her sound, why she left Oklahoma State early to pursue music, and how rodeo, cowboy church, and classic country continue to inspire what she writes. She also talks about the shift from performing with her sisters to standing alone on stage, learning to perform as an introvert, and how a difficult national anthem performance kept her from singing it for two years.In this episode, Caroline discusses writing lyrics first, using playlists to find inspiration, and learning which co-writing rooms bring out her best. She reflects on how recording timelines can vary—from a song taking more than a year to finish to another being recorded the day after it was written—and why she wants to love the lyrics of any song she releases.Caroline also gets candid about stage nerves, connecting with fans, and the encouragement that helps her keep going. Plus, she shares stories from opening for Willie Nelson on the West Coast, performing at a festival in London, and dreaming about future stages like Billy Bob’s, Red Rocks, and Tulsa’s Mercury Lounge.A thoughtful conversation about country music, creative persistence, and finding the courage to take the next step.

   Tx2Tn Podcast Ep247 Maddox Ross

   Maddox Ross is only in his early 20's, but he is already writing, recording, and performing like someone who has lived a dozen music careers. In this conversation, the Choctaw, Oklahoma singer-songwriter breaks down the real path from small-town roots to Texas radio traction, big-stage moments, and a songwriting process built on instinct, discipline, and a whole lot of voice memos.He opens up about what it means to grow up in the red dirt world, why co-writing is a strength rather than a compromise, and how the right studio can change everything. Maddox also shares the practical side of the grind - from learning how posture affects vocals to understanding why social media, persistence, and showing up at the right gigs matter just as much as talent.You’ll discover: How Maddox wrote seven songs in three days at a songwriter camp Why he treats songwriting, recording, and performing as a three-way tie The studio habits and vocal techniques he wishes he had known earlier Why the Stillwater red dirt scene feels more like community than competition How he turned patience and hustle into real momentum on Texas radio Maddox also tells the stories behind the moments that matter - playing with Cody Canada, getting pulled on stage at iconic venues, and finally checking bucket-list boxes like Luckenbach. Along the way, he and the hosts dig into the artists, records, and influences that shaped him, from Todd Snider and John Hiatt to Cross Canadian Ragweed, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains. If you care about modern red dirt country, the realities of building a music career from the ground up, or the mindset that keeps young artists moving forward, this episode is essential listening. Maddox Ross is the kind of artist who makes you want to follow the journey now, before everyone else catches on.
