HUDSON WESTBROOK HITS 15 MILLION CAREER DIGITAL STREAMS‼️


Texas Music Artist Hudson Westbrook and his mom Heidi were surprised in Austin, TX with plaques commemorating 15,000,000 streams on his first four digital single releases “Take It Slow”, “Two Way Drive”, “5 to 9” & “Dopamine", all of which have been released earlier this year.


Hudson Westbrook’s Debut Texas Red Dirt single “Two Way Drive” is currently ranked at #17 overall on the Texas Regional Radio Report this week‼️


After an explosive arrival and a series of grassroots hits, River House Artists talent Hudson Westbrook is now taking his place among a new generation of country singer-songwriters.

Self-taught and proudly rough-around-the-edges, the rising star made his splash debut with “Take It Slow” in 2024 (while still enrolled at Texas Tech) and is now pushing ahead, revitalizing the organic country-rock of the Red Dirt revolution – but refusing to be held down by his roots.

Hailing from the small town of Stephenville, Texas, and raised on everything from George Strait to gangsta rap, the multi-sport athlete and high school football state champion began playing guitar in 2020 and wrote his first song after enrolling in college in 2023.

Blue-collar in both life experience and approach, “Take It Slow” was one of the first songs Westbrook ever wrote, and after recording the laid-back tribute to romantic relaxation for $400, its edgy vocal charm and warm country-rock buzz made it a bonafide hit, racking up more than 10 million streams so far.

Claiming a place in the modern music landscape, Westbrook followed with the windows-down anthem “Two Way Drive” and the propulsive new single, “5 to 9” – a showcase of the young star’s song-crafting growth, on top of his innate skill.

Capturing a working man’s daydream with a loping, modern-traditional sound, “5 to 9” was joined by the narrative stunner “Johnny Walker” – a grooving cover of fellow Texas lane-maker Jacob Stelly – and both serve to reveal Westbrook’s creative heading.

Hudson’s latest song “Dopamine” brings out the essence of youthful love and connection juxtaposed with the typical college lifestyle.

Intent on taking the Texas country spirit far beyond the state line, non-stop travel to meet concert demand includes headlining dates and a tour supporting honky-tonk hitmakers Midland in late 2024, with more new music and shows on the way.

Silverada's New Release Silverada


Silverada’s latest album titled “Silverada” is a landmark release for the Texas-based band, previously known as Mike and the Moonpies.

Their latest self-titled album stands out as a transformative work in their discography. While they have preserved their classic country essence, the band has ventured into new musical territories by incorporating elements of Southern rock and other genres. This demonstrated their adventurous spirit in musical expression.

The album is not just a collection of new songs; it represents the band’s renewed identity as well. With sophisticated songwriting, a refreshed sound, and cuts already climbing up the charts, Silverada exemplifies what it means for a band to grow and adapt over time.
