Description

https://www.austingilliammusic.com/ Persistence — a recurring theme in Austin Gilliam’s music — has been a defining element of the Texas artist’s character since childhood, and fueled his transition from ubiquitous sideman to songwriter fronting his own band across the Lone Star state’s vital music scene. In the predominantly country music community where he “made his bones,” the brawny guitarist has resolutely blurred the lines dividing country and rock to establish his personalized “Americana rock” style. Now, two years after the pandemic canceled all his gigs, he is finally releasing his hopeful singles “Brother” and “Buying Time” and making plans for the future. https://www.brianpaulrhea.com/ With deep musical roots that span across many genres including Gospel, R&B and country, Brian Rhea has been honing his craft of music to a wide demographic of people. From churches to street corner's, from bars to arena's, Brian has been bringing his brand of music to "sinner's and saint's" alike for nearly two decades. www.jedwardsmusic.net You don't need the musical history, the number of influences, the exact music education or tragic life "story" to get what J Edwards is singing about. The musical tales that he purposefully lays in front of the audience has the emotion of old-school songwriters intertwined with the power and passion of the old street corner preacher whose heart is on fire with the need to reach the world. He says "If people can't relate, you are just making noise." With that "Southern Soul" voice that is like velvet flowing over gravel he can tell the crowd anyone's experiences and make them want to ask "Who was that about?" You only need one time listening to J Edwards to become a fan and close friend of his music.
