During the mid-’90s, Rick Trevino emerged as one of the first popular Hispanic singers in country music since the mid-’70s, when and were having hits. Beginning with “She Can’t Say I Didn’t Cry” in 1994, Trevino racked up several hits over the next few years with his -inspired blend of new country and album rock.

Trevino was born into a musical family — his father was a member of a local Tejano group. Both of his parents fostered his musical interests, and as a child, he listened to a variety of music, including Tejano, country, classical pianist , and mainstream pop/rockers like and . Soon, he was taking classical piano lessons and studying the clarinet. After graduating from high school, he was offered a baseball scholarship to Memphis State University, but he declined the offer to study music.

In 1993, he released his first album, the Spanish-language Dos Mundos. It was accompanied by a single release of “Just Enough Rope,” which was released in English, Spanish, and a bilingual version; it was the first traditional country single to be released in both Spanish and English. The English version was a moderate hit, reaching number 44. In 1994, Trevino released an eponymous album, which featured English versions of most of the songs from Dos Mundos, plus a few new cuts. Rick Trevino became a hit, producing the Top 40 “Honky Tonk Crowd” and the Top Ten singles “She Can’t Say I Didn’t Cry” and “Doctor Time.”

Trevino’s second album, Looking for the Light, was released in 1995; it was accompanied by a Spanish version. Like its predecessor, Looking for the Light was a hit, albeit not as big as the debut — it only spawned one Top 40 hit, the number six “Bobbie Ann Mason.” Learning as You Go, Trevino’s third album, was released in 1996; Changing in Your Eyes followed two years later, and Mi Son was released in spring 2001. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Music on Main Featuring Cas Haley

Music on Main 2026 Featuring Cas Haley

Step aside, imitators — Cas Haley is the real-deal troubadour who showed up barefoot, guitar in hand, and turned the American songbook inside out. With a voice soaked in soul and sunshine, and a groove that rides the rail between back-porch blues and island vibrations, Haley doesn’t just perform — he testifies. His sound? Think Sam Cooke on a front porch in Kingston, with a Stratocaster and a lifetime of stories to tell. Cas blends reggae, southern soul, Delta blues, and dusty Americana with the kind of authenticity you can’t fake and shouldn’t try. Every phrase he sings carries a weight of lived-in truth, wrapped in melodies that sway like a hammock on a Texas breeze. But don’t get it twisted — Cas ain’t just a crooner. He’s a writer, a storyteller, a builder of songs that hit the heart and hips in equal measure. From tales of hard-won love to meditations on resilience and redemption, his lyrics cut deep but always shine with light. And whether he’s reworking a classic or unveiling something brand-new, the connection he makes with an audience is as electric as a summer storm.

America first caught a glimpse of his magic on America’s Got Talent, but that was just the opening riff. Since then, he’s crisscrossed the globe, shared the stage with legends,and carved out a corner of the musical universe where roots are revered and rhythm is religion. Cas Haley isn’t chasing trends. He’s tapping into something older, wilder, and far more soulful — the timeless pulse of real music, played from the heart and meant to be felt.

Music on Main Featuring Big Joe Walker

Music on Main 2026 Featuring Big Joe Walker

Seeing Big Joe Walker perform his bold brand of Texas country music removes any curiosity one has about how he got his nickname. The man fills a room, from his football lineman physique to his voice, personality, command of a stage, and natural sense of humor.

In recent years the Dallas singer-songwriter has become a regular on Texas stages, touring with his fiery band. His recently released debut single “Friday Nights in Texas” spent nine weeks on the Texas Music chart.
Whether he’s crooning an original song on his acoustic guitar or pounding a piano and belting out a raucous version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Red House,” Big Joe puts his immense heart and soul into every performance.
Television shows such as the popular documentary-style Troubadour, TX and the live music series Texas Music Scene have featured Big Joe.
His debut EP I Am Big Joe Walker (2013) displayed elements of country, rock, gospel, and even a little disco, all sung in a smooth, resonant style. The Dallas Morning News said Big Joe “demonstrates greater vocal skill and range than many of country’s chart-toppers.”
Big Joe is now busy working on his first full-length album to be released on Kayak Records. He plays live and in the studio with such stalwart Texas sidemen as Milo Deering (LeeAnn Rimes, Jack Ingram), John Carroll (Cory Morrow, Jim Lauderdale), Dave DeShazo, Nate Coon, and Bradley Knight.
