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.
1200 friends WTF?! I think won the who has more friends contest fo sho. I'll never catch up now. And, you don't have anything booked till the 10th. See you at rainbow with my hundred dollar bill.
Thanks so much for giving my vids a watch! I read a nice article about you in a Lubbock newspaper Washboard Judy showed me that was telling of you driving around with Raina and it had all the details about your song getting bought. I hope that you're having happy trails! Peace.
Aw yay! You know I think we may have met for a split second actually, but I was very delirious from no sleep. Might not have been you, if it was I was with Linky carrying a camping chair and we walked to my camp to put it back.
This is starting to sound like a missed connection haha. Anyway, love your music! Hope to meet you for real someday.
i like how sometimes it takes a month or two for us to catch each other on the phone. and/or for that conversation to last longer than 4 seconds. hope you're well. miss ya, lovely. xoxoxox
