🎤 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎵

Kyle Sinkule Music is a singer-songwriter who embodies the heart and soul of Texas music. Hailing from West, Texas—just a stone’s throw from Willie Nelson’s hometown of Abbott—Kyle has been shaped by the legends of the Lone Star State. With musical icons like Willie, Jerry Jeff, and Radney Foster as his guiding stars, he crafts a sound that seamlessly blends country grit with roots-rock authenticity.

Kyle has curated a diverse repertoire of songs that resonate with fans and other regional artists, showcasing his keen ability to select and refine pieces that embody the Texan spirit. In 2024, he gained recognition as a finalist in the prestigious Larry Joe Taylor Songwriter Showcase, affirming his role in the vibrant Texas music scene. His collection features lively drinking songs, heartfelt love ballads, and tunes that invite listeners to two-step or kick back and relax with a cold beer. Each song captures the essence of life’s experiences—joy, heartache, and everything in between—making his work a true reflection of the Texan lifestyle.​ As he continues to carve his path through the vibrant music scene, Kyle Sinkule is an artist to watch—a troubadour with one goal in mind, to create real Texas music.

We are excited to have Kyle on our All-Tex Utilities Stage!

🎤 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎵

Kayla Ray

Waco, Texas native, Kayla Ray, cut her teeth at the local dancehalls and dives. After honing her songwriting skills and discovering her unique but traditional vocal style, she took her talents to Nashville to continue on the path to her dreams. From her first album, Love and Liquor, in 2014, which featured a collaboration with Jason Eady, Kayla has made the scene take notice. Three albums later, Kayla continues to impress with a voice that fits as well in a dive bar as it does on a Sunday patio. With crowd favorites like The Jameson Waltz and Rockport, you do not want to miss her set!

🎤 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎵

Zach Aaron

You won’t find an artist who lives what he writes more than Zach Aaron. Zach travels the U.S. and beyond, chasing broncs and gigs. As a real-life cowboy, farrier, and nomad, Zach takes inspiration from his travels to craft songs that paint his experiences. From solemn storytelling in cuts like Aztec Cafe, to the borderline grunge feel of Animal Of Burden, Zach shows his diverse range of smooth vocals with just enough edge to keep you intrigued. Along with a quick wit, Zach will take the All-Tex Utilities Stage and put on a songwriting clinic.

🎤 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎵

This is our first of many artist spotlight posts. If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out these amazing artists, please do so! All will be joining us on our All-Tex Utilities Stage.

We are very excited to have Texas singer-songwriter, Megan Urby, back on our All-Tex Utilities Stage for year two of Wings & Strings. Although she is relatively new to the scene, Megan has rapidly made waves. After Mama’s Simple Man, a perspective shift of the classic, Simple Man, went viral in 2023, Megan jumped in the studio to record a string of singles, displaying her wide range of abilities. From the vulnerable songwriting of Where Do I Belong, to the punchy tone of Wide Awake, Megan proves her talent and versatility. You do not want to miss her set!
