After an explosive arrival and a series of grassroots hits, Hudson Westbrook is now taking his place among a new generation of country singer-songwriters. Self-taught and proudly rough-around-the-edges, the rising star made his splash debut with “Take It Slow” in 2024 (while still enrolled at Texas Tech) and is now pushing ahead, revitalizing the organic country-rock of the Red Dirt revolution – but refusing to be held down by his roots. Hailing from the small town of Stephenville, Texas, and raised on everything from George Strait to gangsta rap, he began playing guitar in 2020 and wrote his first song after enrolling in college in 2023. "Take It Slow” was one of the first songs Westbrook ever wrote and its edgy vocal charm and warm country-rock buzz made it a bonafide hit. Westbrook followed with the windows-down anthem “Two Way Drive” and the propulsive new single, “5 to 9” – a showcase of the young star’s song-crafting growth, on top of his innate skill. “5 to 9” was joined by the narrative stunner “Johnny Walker” and followed by “Dopamine,” which brings out the essence of youthful love and connection juxtaposed with the typical college lifestyle. Hudson's latest single, "House Again," his take on a heartbreak anthem. Intent on taking the Texas country spirit far beyond the state line, non-stop travel to meet concert demand includes headlining dates and a tour supporting honky-tonk hitmakers Midland in late 2024, with more new music and shows on the way.
