Twin Rivers got to sit down with one of the coolest names in Texas Country right now, Logan Ryan, fresh off the release of his debut album ‘Kamikaze’. We talked selling out Gruene Hall, fans tattooing his signature on themselves, grinding through the Texas college circuit, and—of course—the secret to a great mustache.

Logan Ryan Band is quickly making a name in the Texas country and Americana scene with high-energy performances and authentic storytelling that brings raw, honest country music back to the heart of the dancehall. Raised on classic country and honky-tonk culture, his sound is rooted in rich narratives and genuine emotion.

On stage, he truly embodies the spirit and soul of the Lone Star State, standing out as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the Red Dirt scene. Logan recently released his album ‘Kamikaze’, which made it into the top 100 on iTunes and Apple Music charts. The album is filled with grit and honest lyrics, serving as the statement record we’ve all been waiting for.

You can listen to Season 2 Episode 6 of The Twin Rivers Music Scene Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio! Link in bio.

Twin Rivers Music Scene had the pleasure of sitting down with Joel Hofmann, owner of the legendary Riley’s Tavern and frontman of the Joel Hofmann Band. We covered everything from how he approaches booking with the unique perspective of both venue owner and artist, the real-life inspiration behind his song “Pecos Jane,” the band’s upcoming album dropping May ’26, and the wildest brawl to ever break out at Riley’s.

Joel Hofmann is a Texas musician, songwriter, and venue owner whose roots run deep in the state’s live music culture. As the owner of the historic Riley’s Tavern in Hunter, Texas — the first bar to obtain a beer license in Texas after the prohibition — Joel has played a key role in preserving one of Texas music’s most iconic stages while continuing to champion songwriters and working musicians. As the frontman of the Joel Hofmann Band, he has released multiple records and built a reputation for vivid, story-driven songwriting that reflects the landscapes and characters of the Texas and American West. Balancing life as both a musician and venue owner, he brings a rare artist-first perspective to everything he does, shaping Riley’s Tavern into a place where history, community, and live music continue to thrive.

Kicking off Season 2 of the Twin Rivers Music Scene podcast with Cannon & Justin of Botomland 🤠 We hung out in the Floore’s Country Store green room before their first headlining show at this iconic venue.

We dove into their newly released self-titled album Bottomland, the meaning behind the songs, fan reactions, road stories, building a solid team, and how they make it all work as a duo. Huge year behind them—and even bigger things ahead in 2026 👀

Bottomland blends classic outlaw country with red dirt grit and a southern edge. They are not chasing trends; instead, they focus on telling stories and preserving the tradition of Texas country music in an authentic and relatable way.

On stage, they bring incredible energy, naturally connecting with audiences whether they're performing in a packed dancehall, at a festival, or in an intimate acoustic setting. Their chemistry as a duo is the heart of their sound, delivering performances that feel less like a show and more like a shared experience.

You can listen to the first episode of Season 2 of The Twin Rivers Music Scene Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio! Link in bio.

Twin Rivers Music Scene had a blast sitting down with Rowdy Brooks, the lead singer of Campfire Kingdom. We talked about everything from his former life as a SeaWorld dolphin trainer to his solo and band projects, how he jumped into a van as a teenager and became a touring merch guy, his New Braunfels hot takes, why his music is here to make you “sad as sh*t,” and the advice he has for new artists coming up in the Twin Rivers Music Scene.
