2022 Music Knows No Boundaries
Acoustic Song Swap
Ashley Cooke
Raised between the coasts of California and Florida, Ashley Cooke is an up-and-coming country artist who is bringing authentic and honest storytelling to her music. The singer/songwriter developed her love of country music as Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line quickly became the soundtrack of high school. Cooke followed her passion for music to Belmont University where she won the Country Showcase, placing her in an elite class of winners that includes Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line and more.
Cory Morrow
Cory Morrow didn’t become a Texas legend by being quiet. He sings about strippers and Jesus with equal fervor. While this dichotomy may leave those on either side of the moral equator perplexed – the answer is actually very simple. Cory Morrow is beautifully and uncomfortably transparent. From the beer soaked, cocaine laden days of his early career, to today’s more sober and spiritual leg of the journey, one thing about Morrow has never changed – as goes Cory’s life, goes Cory’s songs
Sean McConnell
Singer, songwriter and producer Sean McConnell’s latest collection of songs A Horrible Beautiful Dream approaches the difficult task of asking questions of what one really thinks they know, in the simultaneous struggle of not being afraid of the answers that emerge. Musically, the project wraps McConnell’s rich voice in moments of dark intimacy as well as vivid brightness, and guests such as The Wood Brothers, Natalie Hemby, Audra Mae and Dan Tyminski underscore McConnell’s versatility as creative partner and commentator.
Kyle Hutton
Kyle Hutton loves a good song. And as you get to know him, his life resembles one. Adopted from foster care at 6 weeks old by his family, Hutton has now experienced almost every side of the adoptive story. Adopted. Reunited with birth family. Foster parent. Adoptive parent. And along the way as any songwriter would, he’s written about it. His catalog of songs is littered with hope, faith, redemption and love. For his most recent effort “The Foster EP” and subsequent “A Place to Stay – Tour for Foster Awareness”, Kyle received the esteemed Commissioner’s Award of Excellence
Owen Temple
Owen Temple is an American folk and country music songwriter and musician based in Austin, Texas. ‘Stories They Tell’ is the seventh studio record from Owen, and it’s about time. It’s about time and about what we do with it. The eleven songs add up to a retrospective, big picture look at what humans have been doing over the last 10,000 years: making tools and stuff, forming relationships based on power, money, sex, and/or love, and, most importantly, telling stories of how it all went down.
Rodell Duff
Rodell Duff was born in Trinidad & Tobago. He moved to Houston, TX as a kid and has been his home since then. Music has always been a part of his life. From being in the choir during his school years, to now garnering over 7 million plus streams on Spotify with just 5 releases under his belt. Now residing in Kemah, TX, Rodell Duff has been all over Texas performing in front of live crowds. He recently opened up for acts such as The Josh Abbott Band, Michael Ray & Corey Kent, just to name a few.

Erica Rico
Hey y’all! I’m Erica Rico from The New 93Q Morning Zoo.
I was born into a huge family in Arizona where I learned to cook and speak my mind! However, since I have an undying love for George Strait, football, and big ole’ trucks, it only made sense that I move to Texas, which is exactly what I did in 2005.
