Raised in Lubbock Texas and grew up in a family of musicians. I have been singing since I was a young girl. However, I got a late start in picking up the guitar. I first began writing songs acappella in my early 20's shortly after moving to Austin. I had things to express so I figured I better get with the program and learn how to play an instrument so that I could get my point across the way I heard the melodies in my head. I picked up the guitar and taught myself to play in 2006 and haven't stopped yet. |

I don’t claim to be a great guitar player or singer, but I love writing the song and believe that if the lyrics can stand alone, the music will only make the story better." |

James "Slim" Hand 9PM |
Dickie Lee Erwin 11PM |

I don’t claim to be a great guitar player or singer, but I love writing the song and believe that if the lyrics can stand alone, the music will only make the story better." |
Making powerful original Country music for over forty years, James Hand had remained one of music's secret treasures -- a local legend in Texas, modestly plying his craft in countless smoky dives and dancehalls to a slowly widening circle of admirers. Today he's getting the attention he deserves after releasing in 2006, "The Truth Will Set You Free," produced by Asleep at the Wheel frontman Ray Benson and legendary Texas producer and multi-instrumentalist Lloyd Maines. | From the roots of Hobbs, New Mexico; a 100 miles radius of the rich soil tilled by some of the greats: sounds of Roy Orbinson, Buddy Holly, and Waylon Jennings. A farm boy scrappy and honest comes through in every song he writes; truth and commitment to the depth of his banjo and guitar, he plays with heart. |
