April 28th seems to be a popular day to be born in the Texas/Red Dirt and Americana genre. Kickin' Country 103.1 would like to extend Happy Birthday wishes to the following artists today:

Happy Birthday to Stoney LaRue who was born in Taft, Texas on this day. Stoney LaRue is a staple in the Texas & Red Dirt Scene. He is definitely a name you recognize and immediately associate with the TXRD music. We love his music, his shows, and wish him all the best today, and in the future. Can't wait for some new music from him!

Happy Birthday to Sean McConnell, who was born on this day in Massachusetts. While Sean wasn't born in Texas, we have adopted him as one of our own in the Texas & Red Dirt music scene. His songs hit home with many of us Texas. Even William Clark Green was a little daunted to follow Sean's act.

And last but not least, Happy Birthday going out today to local singer/songwriter Judson Cole. Judson Cole is an original founding member of the Judson Cole Band who started out right here in San Angelo. They picked up gigs in a local pub, and eventually got their debut album, Eastern Skies,up and off, with two singles, Call Me Back Home and Time to Run.
