Texas Hill: The Voice and American Idol Alums Formed a Band!
Texas Hill is a supergroup consisting of The Voice and American Idol alums.
Casey James was the 3rd place finalist of the American Idol's Season 9. He was also our guest in episode 50, and I've been wanting to bring him back on with the band ever since. Craig Wayne Boyd was the winner of Season 7 of The Voice. Adam Wakefield was the finalist of Season 10 of The Voice.
These guys are a powerhouse group and they don't want to be known just for singing in the talents competitions. They are making their own music, blending voices in a wonderful way. Their new self-titled EP has just been released, and they have some live shows scheduled in November, excited to get back to the stage.
They perform three songs live on the show, and one of them hasn't been recorded yet, so you get to hear some exclusive stuff on The Lone Star Plate!
So if you want to forget about politics for a while, here is some awesome music for you.
