Every songwriter has a story about how they got started.

But somewhere along the way, there’s usually somebody who helps you find yourself and gives you some connections.

Kyle Hutton shares a story about one of those people in this clip from our latest BVLive.com podcast.

Give it a watch, then head over to BVLive.com to hear the full conversation with Kyle.

And tell us: who was the person who gave you a shot when you were just getting started?

You don't have to move to Austin, Houston, Fort Worth or San Marcos to have your story told.

You can tell it right here.

That was one of the things we discussed with Kyle Hutton on our latest BVLive.com podcast. When a community starts creating more places for artists to play, connect, and be heard, it gives people a reason to keep going.

And we've got a lot of folks right here in the Brazos Valley who have something to say.

We're just getting started.

Watch the full conversation with Kyle Hutton at BVLive.com and see what we're building for live music right here at home.

And if you're an artist, venue, or live music fan, get involved. Come be part of it.

The Bryan TX Songwriter Festival is coming October 9–10, and there’s more than one way to experience it.

Want to keep it simple? Come downtown, bring a lawn chair, and enjoy the free festival with artists including Radney Foster, Blue Water Highway, Max Stalling, and more.

Want to get closer to the action? The VIP experience adds intimate shows, pop-up appearances, meet-and-greets and the chance to catch some of these artists in much smaller settings.

Kyle Hutton breaks down what you can expect in this clip from the latest BVLive.com Podcast.

Watch the clip, then make your plans for October 9–10.

Ever walk into a venue with nothing but a demo tape and a little bit of confidence?

That’s where one of Kyle Hutton’s stories begins. Back in the early days of his songwriting career, a trip to Hurricane Harry’s led to an opportunity he certainly wasn’t expecting: a chance to open for a legend!

How did a simple demo tape turn into that gig? You’ll have to hear Kyle tell the rest of the story.

And if you love the stories behind the songs, come hear some of them in person at the Bryan TX Songwriter Festival, October 9 & 10 in downtown Bryan.
