Over fifteen years ago Justin Frazell set out on a journey down the Texas Red Dirt Roads when he began working in the Dallas/Fort Worth radio industry. Over the course of fifteen years he experienced many good things and some……well let’s just say things that are better off left in the dust. Those Texas Red Dirt Roads provided him with the honor and opportunity to receive four years in a row, the Texas Music Radio Personality of the Year award given by The Academy of Texas Music, the My Texas Music award and the Gruene With Envy award. Awards without meaning are not much to speak of; while awards voted on by the fans of the Texas Red Dirt music scene have all the meaning in the world. After all, Justin himself admits to being a fan lucky enough to have a microphone and now a website to share even more. The Texas Red Dirt music scene is more than just a scene, it is a family built on friendships grown from a common love of the music. Ten years ago Justin picked up a hitchhiker along the Texas Red Dirt Roads and hasn’t been able to get rid of him since. Russell Foreman has become Justin’s radio co-pilot and close friend. As partners in crime with nearly thirty combined years in the business, the two have had the privilege of helping take part in the rise of some of the biggest acts in Texas Red Dirt Music.
Outsiders can’t wrap their minds around how mostly regional bands from Texas and Oklahoma can have such a huge loyal following and experience the success they do. The answer is simple: good people want to share good things with people that will appreciate it. Brad Weiss is good people and he wanted to share his twenty plus years in the live music entertainment industry, including eight years of putting together music festivals like Mardi Gras DFW and over five years as General Manager of Gilley’s Dallas & the recent addition, the Palladium Ballroom.
So what you get when you combine Justin, Russell and Brad is a perfect storm that has formed Texas Red Dirt Roads. TXRDR is the junction of many paths coming together to deliver the ultimate everything for Texas Red Dirt music fans. Texas Red Dirt Roads delivers exclusive audio, video, and written content that can only be created with the rare behind the scenes access that your friends at TXRDR get to share with you.
So hop on board as we all take one hell of a fun trip down the Texas Road Dirt Roads.
