It’s a special Co-Write/New Slang mashup this week! We were fortunate enough to sit down last with with Thomas Mooney, the host of the popular podcast New Slang. We handle the hosting duties here on part one, and once your finished scoot over to New Slang for part two.
We start off with a general interview with Tom, but at the end of the episode we begin a fantasy draft where each of us picks our best six artists lineup for a dream festival. We put some parameters on the draft, but the most important one was we each started out with our favorite artists.
We hope you enjoy this, and we look forward to bringing you more mashup episodes in the future!

Courtney Patton has been wowing fans of independent, Americana music across the country for nearly a decade. Her deeply insightful and personal songwriting coupled with her undeniable vocal gift has settled Courtney in the top tier of Texas singer/songwriters. In addition to all of her musical talents, Courtney is one of the smartest, funniest, and most genuine artists in our scene, and it’s always a joy to spend time in her presence.

Brady Black has electrified fans of Texas music for over two decades. His exciting stage presence is most memorable as a part of the famed Randy Rogers Band, but Brady has a history in the scene that predates that venerable 5 man wrecking crew.
