Like many Texas musicians Ryan Beaver now makes is home in Austin, but this transplanted Austin-ite actually grew up right here in East Texas, right down the road from us in Emory.  And last week The Beav made his way back to East Texas for a good ol' fashioned radio interview!

The very first topic we tackled on Radio Texas Live was a song he co-wrote with Kyle Park, which is currently Top 5 (and rising) on The Texas Music Chart titled "Make or Break Me" -- take a listen to what he had to say about it and hear the song too.

I've been a fan of Ryan Beaver for a couple years now and the song that introduced me to his music and really got me interested in his stuff was the title track off "Under The Neons" which he sang live for us next, press play to hear it.

Finally, he's released a new song off his relatively new album "Constant" the new single is "Hate" --we spun it next.

Below is his new video for "How About You" -- I'll bet you like it, and to stay up with everything "Beaver" check out his website like him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter too.
