Curtis Grimes was a baseball standout at Harmony High School while growing up in East Texas. Though, these days the "Irresponsible" singer makes his home in Austin, staying busy nurturing a fan base that has stretched outside of Texas, thanks to a deep run on season one of NBC's The Voice -- he always finds his way back home to East Texas around the holidays.
Some weeks my good friend Rita Ballou takes the time to collect the wittiest, most topical and random tweets from the Texas scene. And whenever she does, I make it a point to steal 'em. So please reward my laziness by checking out Last Week in Texas + Red Dirt Tweets.
Uncle Lucius is a band I was introduced to about three years ago by a listener, and I've been a huge fan since. Their music has even been featured on television shows like Castle and Friday Night Lights. And Wednesday (Nov. 14) night you can catch your favorite uncle live at Electric Cowboy.
From the guys who brought you music videos for "Perfect Girl" and "Whiskey Days." The same fellas who brought you No. 1 singles like "Beer for Breakfast" and "No Better Than This" -- here is "I'm Down," your RTX Sunday Video from JB and the Moonshine Band.
This week JB and the Moonshine Band look to stay on top in Texas for their unprecedented third straight week. But to do it, they’ll have to hold off Phil Hamilton, Pat Green, Eli Young Band and Kyle Park. It’ll be tough, let's see if these East Texas boys are up to the challenge.
It's time for your favorite time of the week, your chance to weigh in on new music here at Radio Texas, LIVE! This week the new single from Bart Crow "Dandelion" goes up against Stoney LaRue's "Travelin' Kind." All you have to do is listen to both and vote for your favorite.
All right all you Cody Canada and the Departed lovers the band released TWO videos this week. One is a music video the other is a "docu-video," of sorts, in which they address many issues, including one for fans of the now defunct former Red Dirt powerhouse band, Cross Canadian Ragweed.
Kyle Park has established himself as a rising star in the Texas Music scene, and he did it the old fashioned way. Though a Park concert is one of the most popular draws in Texas, until this year he hadn't had a Top 10 single. He built his fan base slow, live show, by live show -- without too much help from radio in the beginning, something that is very hard to do.
Rich O’Toole who’s record setting run of consecutive Top 10′s to begin a career ended last year at nine, with the fan favorite — but controversial “Marijuana and Jalapenos,” is back with a new music video.
This week JB and the Moonshine Band look to maintain the top spot in Texas for a second straight week. But to do it, they'll have to hold off Phil Hamilton, Pat Green and Kyle Park. It'll be tough but these East Texas boys are up to the challenge.

He's a native of East Texas, but has seen his musical success in the Texas Music scene grow out of the western side of the Lone Star State. Which makes sense, seeing how that's where he started his band after graduating from Texas Tech.
