Oklahoma based John Fullbright is a GRAMMY-nominated songwriter finding refuge in playing the piano whose latest release – 2022’s The Liar – is an exploration of the highs and lows of emotion, the good times and the aftermath. Fullbright has also received an Americana Music Association Emerging Artist nomination and awards from ASCAP and the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.
In regard to the Lone Star State’s finest tunesmiths, Bruce Robison lands at the top of the heap. His songwriting turned the heads of some of the industry’s biggest artists and took them to the top of the charts (The Chicks’ No. 1 version of “Travelin’ Soldier,” George Strait’s recording of “Wrapped” and the beautiful Tim McGraw / Faith Hill rendition of “Angry All The Time,” to name a few). While those achievements might be considered the pinnacle of a songwriting career to some, Robison has never been one to rest on his laurels. He is always creating.
Set for a series of statewide shows this spring, John Fullbright and Bruce Robison are pairing up under the latter’s Next Waltz banner and taking the part record label, part multi-media project, and part artist management team’s vision of artistic integrity and value of ambitious and authentic music on the road for an April Texas tour – lovingly called ‘The Next Waltz Barnstorming.’
