Today I have a chat with the modern rock/country duo The Powell Brothers, Blake and Taylor Powell.

Awesome dudes and real hustlers from Kingwood, Texas, they tell us about the cool thing they did in the pandemic to be able to record, and what they’re doing now. 

They are the kind of guys you want to have a beer with, and we go on to chat about their life, music, current events and all things Texas…
