blue light chronicles

The Charlie Shafter band  are almost considered locals here in Lubbock even though they're originally from Minnesota. Shafter started playing at The Blue Light when he was as young as 16 and continues to love playing here in Lubbock especially at The Blue Light...

The Dirty River Boys have a very unique style and a sound all there own. The Dirty River Boys (Nino, Marco, Travis and CJ) hale from the dirty river city of El Paso. I had the chance to sit down with the band before their show Saturday, September 10th, at The Blue Light. We talked about everything from the origin of the bands name to their biggest musical influences to their new album coming out,

Johnny Cooper was kind enough to sit down with us prior to his show at Blue Light on August 13th to talk about everything from the release of his newest CD “Live at the Pub II” that was just released August 2nd, to the best pranks he’s seen while on the road, which includes tons of saran wrap and a detailed knowledge of automobiles.

Up and coming Texas country music artists Cruise Duke has just launched his first CD “This Side of Texas”, and although they’re just getting started they seem predestined for great things. Despite his busy schedule Cruise and the guys carved out some time to sit down and talk with us at 99.5 The Bear, before his performance at the Blue Light on August 6th.

Sean McConnell may well be one of the busiest artists in the Texas country music scene. He's been touring hard for the last year and a half in support of his latest record Saints, Thieves and Liars. As busy as he stays though, he was still able to sit down and chat with us at 99.5 The Bear, before his performance at The Blue Light on July 30, and catch up on how the last year has been.

I had the chance to sit down with the legendary James McMurtry, on July 28th, before his sound check at The Blue Light here in Lubbock. McMurtry and his band, the Heartless Bastards, have been touring the country hard for many years and this year is no exception. James took a few minutes out of his busy tour to sit down and discuss everything from his new album, "Live in Europe," to backlash over "We Can't Make It Here."
