Episode #81 WE ARE TAPPIN’ OUR TOES TONIGHT!
Tonight we spoke with ALEX DORMONT from the HOT TEXAS SWING BAND. We enjoyed great music and chatting about the history of Western Swing, the backstory of the band and the songs we played, and Alex’s songwriting process. Check out their New Album – GOTTA MOVE.
Alex Dormont is the Band Leader, Songwriter, Arranger, and Bass & Vocals of The Hot Texas Swing Band. You’ll recognize their song, “Hot Texas,” as it opens and closes every Rendezvous With The Writer broadcast!
With one boot in Cowboy music and the other in Swing, the Hot Texas Swing Band is riding the trail previously blazed by artists such as Bob Wills and Asleep at the Wheel. Backed by a passion for traditional Western Swing, the Hot Texas Swing Band pushes the genre forward with Rockabilly, Latin beats and original material for high-energy shows that have critics and fans raving.
