Live Music
The Wilder Blue
Formed in 2019 by Texas songwriter Zane Williams, the band quickly gained recognition for their signature five-part harmonies and blend of folk-rock, bluegrass, and country influences. Their debut albums, Hill Country and The Wilder Blue, earned comparisons to legendary acts like the Eagles and 80s-era Alabama while helping establish the group as one of the most exciting rising bands in Americana and Texas country music.
Their latest release, Super Natural, was produced by Brent Cobb and features collaborations with both Cobb and Luke Combs, who also invited the band to join his 2025 stadium tour lineup. Known for their exceptional musicianship, soaring harmonies, and energetic live performances, The Wilder Blue continues to captivate audiences nationwide with a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly original.
Sam Morrow
Saturday 10/10 at 3:00 PM
Sam Morrow has built his career on doing things his own way, blending southern rock, country, blues, and funk into a sound that feels both gritty and deeply authentic. After years spent carving out a name for himself in California’s Americana scene, Morrow has embraced a bold new chapter with his latest era — one rooted in raw, Texas-bred southern rock and a renewed sense of confidence and clarity.
Known for his soulful vocals, sharp songwriting, and electrifying guitar-driven sound, Morrow first earned acclaim for his swampy blend of country funk and roadhouse blues, drawing praise from outlets like NPR and Rolling Stone. But after a major life transition that included relocating from Los Angeles to Nashville, Morrow found himself shedding expectations and reconnecting with the music that first inspired him. The result is a stripped-down, high-energy style that captures the spirit of a live band in a room — loud, loose, and unapologetically real.
With a sound influenced by the grit and groove of classic southern rock while still remaining uniquely his own, Sam Morrow continues to establish himself as one of the most compelling voices in modern Americana and roots music today.
