Dance Time in Texas
A weekly show featuring the Top Texas Red Dirt songs packing the dance floors
Featured Artist • Kyle Garret
Kyle Garrett is an Austin-based Texas singer-songwriter with a sound he calls “Y’allternative”—a unique blend of Texas country, rock, Americana, and a little soul. Growing up between Dallas and Houston, Kyle developed his own musical lane, drawing inspiration from artists like Tyler Childers, Parker McCollum, Kings of Leon, and John Mayer.
Kyle started his musical journey as a drummer at age 12 before teaching himself guitar to bring the songs and ideas in his head to life. Since then, he has built a strong following across the Lone Star State, performing more than 250 shows at venues including Austin’s Saxon Pub and Dosey Doe near Houston. He has also shared the stage with artists such as Bri Bagwell, Kody West, and Bart Crow.
His newest single, “High Livin’,” came together after Kyle found himself snowed in on the mountain at Music Fest in Steamboat Springs. The experience became a reminder that sometimes it takes getting away from the everyday chaos to realize what really matters. For Kyle, it was about finding a little freedom, slowing down, and appreciating the simple things in life.
