Hymns of the Highway

A Texas Music podcast dedicated to the songs and stories of your favorite artists & industry pros. Hosted by Chris “Rev” Waterman. New guests every episode!

The Band Laredo

If your daddy raised you on Marty Robbins and George Jones, and your momma raised you on Bad Religion and NOFX, you may have wound up in a musical identity crisis similar to songwriter and frontman Lucas Coté. Lucky to stumble upon alt-country bands like Old 97's and Vandoliers, he and his rowdy partners set out to help change the course of Texas based music forever. The Band Laredo tips their hats to Texas legends like Hank Williams, while kicking you in the mouth like an old Green Day record. Keep your eyes and ears on The Band Laredo!
