Wade Bowen is a Texas country singer-songwriter from Waco, TX. He released his first album independently in 2002 and has been performing and writing music ever since. Collaborations with Pat Green, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Radney Foster, Randy Rogers, Brandon Rhyder, Bleu Edmonson, and brother-in-law Cody Canda of Cross Canadian Ragweed followed after a top-ten placement on the Texas music chart. After a short stint with Sony-distributed BNA Records, Bowen continued to release music independently. His greatet success came with Hold My Beer, Vol 1., a duet album with Randy Rogers that went to number 4. The gospel-themed album Then Sings My Soul: Songs for My Mother was his latest release. Solid Ground, his upcoming release is available Feb. 9th. Solid Ground is personal but not necessarily autobiographical, peppered with distinct south-of-the-border imagery of "Acuna," and the nostalgic reflection of "So Long Sixth Street." Rolling Stone spoke well of "Day of the Dead," noting "the mariachi influence, with accordion, Spanish guitar and a horn section augmenting Bowen's more familiar Red Dirt shuffle." The combination is Bowen's signature - Texas flavor strongly spicing his mix of country, blues, rock and Americana.

TRUE TEXAS GREATNESS.
Well, you can count on a magnificently designed album cover to encapsulate even more musical greatness!Calexico meets Texas Full On times Wade Bowen Squared.And then some.Pushed further on inside his journey of artistic evolution, my all-time favourite singer-songwriter did it.Does it.Forever will.Yet again.Catch the authentic true-to-life flavour of If We Ever Make It Home's 2008 immortal greatness in one of my favourite new tracks, 'Broken Glass'.Pure middle of the night sincereness that catches an essence of heart-ache overcome by true passion. Or everyday life, for those who are willing to take the time to live in this very moment.Taking the plunge into the river of life that guides you towards Acuña and catapults you down memory lane as gazing into the eyes of a long lost love that never died. True Texan Soul for the free-spirited. Just follow the flow, folks.Celebrate life after death into life revisited, reborn in song & dance, dedicated to Guy Clark, who's immortal songs were recorded by the likes of Harris, Cash & Nelson.Yep. “Death, Dyin’ and Deviled Eggs, "That'll be 12.98 please, ma'am...""Or better still, make that 7.30 while we're at it... all drinks on me!"Bask in Calexican rays of mellowness ('Day Of The Dead'), written in the sand by the album producer at hand, Keith Garris."Prrrrrrrrrrr... hahah..."; indeed.Each track created and nurtured within the confines of the studio, immediately followed by the master recording sessions themselves.There's so much more to this book of musical notes than just a pretty cover.If you like true country-music without false pretences, just pick up this album, and shuffle through the layers with each repeated listen.You won't be disappointed... Needless to say you also should take a peek into past works 'Wade Bowen(2014)' which leads up nicely to another source of sheer songwriting beauty to be discovered inside such evergreen album that is 'If We Ever Make It Home' (2008).Three solid albums that stand the test of time... A time of continuous evolution that is the golden songcraft of this superb true music artist."Oh, just like that... everything is blessed..."What can I say? Just hop in... enjoy.Full tracklist for 'Solid Ground':01. “Couldn’t Make You Love Me” (Wade Bowen, Keith Gattis, Audley Freed)02. “Day of the Dead” (Keith Gattis)03. “So Long 6th Street” (Feat.
