🔥 $3,000 REWARD FOR WILLIAM CLARK GREEN’S STOLEN GUITAR‼️
💥 All right, social scrollers, we all helped William Clark Green get his truck back when it was stolen a few years ago, now let’s help him get his guitar back that means the world to him. Regulators, Mount Up‼️
🎸 From Texas Music Artist William Clark Green: “Stolen Guitar. It’s a Martin Jumbo Cutaway JC16. This guitar was stolen from me 15 years ago in Tyler, Texas. This is the first and only guitar my Dad ever bought me. I always chalked it up as a loss, but about 6 months ago my Dad died so now I really want it back. I’m throwing it out into the universe hoping to get lucky. The guitar has a dime sized battle scar between the bridge and the input jack. I don’t have the serial number but I know exactly what it looks like. It should be around a 1999-2002 model. $3000 dollars on top of what you paid for the guitar. Send a picture in the comments or dm me a picture on my socials. Thanks for helping!”

Happy Birthday, Wade Bowen!
October 18th marks not only the birthday of the talented singer-songwriter but also the 26th anniversary of his debut performance at Stubb’s in Lubbock, TX, back in 1998 while he was a Texas Tech University student.
With 34 number one hits—and soon to be 35 with “Friday Night”—Wade Bowen has established himself as a cornerstone of country music. Over two decades and more than 4,000 performances, he’s captivated audiences with his songwriting and live shows. Bowen draws inspiration from American legends like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and Robert Earl Keen, positioning himself as a vital voice in the Texas troubadour tradition that spans over 50 years.
His accolades speak volumes, having recently won Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 T3R Awards—marking his second consecutive year to sweep all three categories. Recognized as one of the genre’s most genuine modern voices, Bowen blends traditional roots with innovative sounds. He is dedicated to crafting unique songs with literary depth, continually evolving his musical landscape to reflect his life experiences.
With over a dozen albums to his name—including ten studio albums, four live collections, and a series of collaborative buddy-country tracks with fellow Texan Randy Rogers—his latest release, Flyin, came out on May 10th. This tenth studio album highlights his musical versatility and impactful songwriting, featuring a range of esteemed collaborators.
Bowen remains committed to performing more than 200 shows a year across the U.S., proving his passion for connecting with fans. Looking ahead, he has a packed schedule for 2024, including a special series of concerts in his hometown of New Braunfels, TX, alongside long-time friend and collaborator Miranda Lambert.
A philanthropist at heart, Bowen established the Bowen Family Foundation, which has raised over $6 million to support children and families in central Texas. Beneficiaries include March of Dimes Waco and CASA of McLennan and Hill Counties, among others.

Farm Fresh
Josh Abbott is proud to announce his partnership with the Texas Department of Agriculture and Texas Ag Commissioner Sid Miller in launching the Farm Fresh Initiative. This innovative program aims to bridge the gap between local farmers and ranchers and school nutrition programs across Texas.
Through the Farm Fresh Initiative, Texas students will have access to fresh, nutritious, locally grown foods, fostering healthier eating habits while also supporting the state’s agricultural community. By connecting schools with nearby farms, the program not only enhances the quality of meals served to students but also bolsters the local economy, ensuring that Texas Agriculture thrives.
This initiative highlights the importance of sourcing food locally and emphasizes the benefits of community partnerships. To learn more about how you can support this program and its impact on Texas schools and agriculture, visit FarmFreshTexas.org. Together, we can nourish our students while uplifting our local farmers and ranchers!

Sundance Head Wins Entertainer of the Year at CMA's of Texas 50th Anniversary Show
Congratulations to Sundance Head for being awarded Entertainer of the Year at the CMA's of Texas 50th Anniversary show on Wednesday night! This prestigious recognition highlights his incredible talent and the impact he has made in the Texas music scene.
In addition to this exciting honor, Sundance is hard at work on his upcoming album. This project holds special significance for him, as it will be the first album he has written while sober. This new chapter in his creative journey reflects both personal growth and artistic evolution, promising to bring fans a fresh perspective and authentic sound.
As he continues to hone his craft and share his experiences through music, there's no doubt that Sundance Head will continue to inspire and captivate audiences. Keep an eye out for his new album, as it is sure to be a powerful reflection of his journey and artistry!
He took to Instagram to describe the meaning of this album. "The songs are so personal, honest and pure. I can’t wait to share them with you. I believe this is the record that I was born to write. Every moment of these songs have been experienced and though life is not always easy It’s not about the damage you take - it’s about the healing… life had to change and people had to die to make this album. I am truly thankful for everything in my life past and present and will be dedicating it to my mom Carolyn Head who gave me the gift of sobriety on her death bed. A woman who truly gave me life on this earth twice. No doubt about it 🌺 this record will speak about being a child, son, husband, father, failure, and the promise of a new day."
