About Wade Bowen
Wade Bowen grew up in Waco, Texas, and started out with the band West 84 while a student at Texas Tech in Lubbock, the town at the centre of the red dirt scene. He went on to a long solo career on independent and major labels, writing plainspoken songs about family, drinking and life on the road, sung in a warm, straightforward baritone.
With his friend Randy Rogers he formed the duo project Hold My Beer, which has released studio and live records and tours as an acoustic, joke-filled songswap. Wade Bowen's own shows lean on a full band and a catalogue built for Texas dancehalls.
