Dance Time in Texas
A weekly show featuring the Top Texas Red Dirt songs packin' the dancefloors
Featured Artist
KATE WATSON
KATE WATSON was born to be an entertainer. Her mother, who played drums in the church band, and her father the leader of the band, introduced her to piano, singing, and performing by the age of 15. In 2019 she would appear on American Idol where she received a standing ovation from Lionel Richie after singing his hit song, “Hello “. The three still work closely together at Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery, Texas, which also happens to be the spiritual home of several Texas country artists, most notably, Cody Johnson, Josh Ward, and Jesse Raub, Jr. In fact, that’s where Parker McCollum first heard Kate sing and surprised her one day after church and told her he wanted to help her with her career. Her newest release reflects her own life growing up and overcoming adversity. Kate’s family moved quite a bit and she often found it hard to fit in at school being the perpetual “new kid in town.” Rather than seeking revenge, she made up her mind to be stronger, and more forgiving of others
by putting on her RED LIPSTICK & A COWBOY HAT and conquering the world.
