   About J Wagner
After a four month tour to support his new record “Songs From the Kitchen Sink” Wagner has made Austin, Texas, his home. He has performed at six universities, two television shows, countless radio shows, the Kerrville Folk Festival, and was a featured artist at the Texas Story Telling Festival, The Deep Ellum arts and Music Festival, and The Fort Worth Arts Festival. He has been featured on NPR’s Texas Eclectic radio show along with a spot on Texas Radio One. He was labeled as Number 1 best bet by both the Austin American Statesman and The Dallas Morning news. Wagner's Music has been covered by over eighteen different artists and two of his songs were featured in the film “The Porch”. The Dallas Morning News referred to Wagner as “A North Texas Songwriting Staple”. His songs consist of his highway travels, broken hearts, and the strangers he has met along his journeys. He mainly performs as a solo artist but is often backed up with his band, the Kitchen Sink Poets. He was born in West Virgina, raised in Albuquerque, NM., but spent the last fifteen years of his life in Texas. Wagner has recorded two Albums on Insect Records with Polyphonic Spree member and string arranger, Rick G. Nelson. He is currently working on a third which will feature a couple songs from other Insect Recording artists. Wagner has been compared to Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Ryan Adams and Townes Van Zandt. He was a regional finalist in the New Folk Songwriting Competition, and, while still in College, won the Texas Colligate Songwriter Award.

Hey Johan. I got married on Sunday. It sure was nice hearing "When I Find All of You" vibrating through the air at the reception. Great tune. Thanks. Chip

I love that photo of 3 Penny Acre and myself. It is funny. You must come back soon for another visit. Joel and I listen to your cd every time we get into the car. We LOVE IT! In fact, I thought you said you have more cds. We might need to get more J. Wagner because we love your songwriting. Our favorite so far is Green Again. I told Joel that when we decide to marry-I want you to play it for us. It has a very special meaning to us. I hope you are well. Hope to see you again in the near future. Peace in the world!!!

Dude, I actually found one of my Beat Eyes.  At last , after scouring ever pisstained corner, I found it, where-else but in the das netheregions of the Great Atheist.  The story of the other Beat Eye is tragic.....the one Beat Eye I finally got back still suffers greatly from  PTSD.  He wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for the arch-messiah, Archetypal Reluctant Hero, Sax Solo.

I changed the lyric for "Ain't it so nice outside today" , the catchy new tune about seeking disablity benefits.
It's on my blog.  All feedback appreciated...thanks...rk
