Texas Music
There’s a reason why there’s a specific designation as “Texas Country.” It’s a different sound, a different style, and has a different swagger than Country music that comes from other states. But not all music in Texas is Country (thankfully). With festivals like South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin and artists like Pantera, Midlake, and others, there’s a lot of musical diversity in the Lone Star State. Here’s a running list of Texas music.
