Twenty years and some 4,000 shows into his career, the name Wade Bowen has become synonymous with Texas country music – & for good reason.

“I will carry that flag proudly,” Bowen says of his Red-Dirt distinction. “But I’ve always said I’m not a ‘Texas artist,’ I’m an artist from Texas, & I think there’s a difference.”

Seen as one of the genre’s finest & most authentic modern voices, Bowen’s approach stays rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality, & shifting his sonic territory to match his life.

Wielding a knack for direct, poetic songwriting that never panders, Bowen matches his gravel-road growl to an organic sound spanning the whole of Texas, tapping both country & rock influences. A dozen albums have shown his sonic diversity – including six studio sets, two live collections, a gospel album, & an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m., music starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Fox Theatre, 1202 Main, Hays.
