Jake Andrews | The Lockhearts: Texas Radio Live
October 8 @ 7:00 pm
Jake Andrews
Born into a family of Texas blues musicians, Jake Andrews picked up the guitar at age 5 and never looked back. Now leading the Jake Andrews Band, he brings fiery guitar work, soulful vocals, and a powerhouse rhythm section to the stage. Blending blues, rock, and modern Americana, their sound is both deeply rooted and refreshingly current. With decades of performing experience and a reputation for electrifying live shows, the Jake Andrews Band continues to carry the torch of Texas music with style and grit.
The Lockhearts
The Lockhearts, a sister duo from Texas, have been harmonizing since childhood, their voices blending as naturally as their bond. Paige and Kate wrote their first song at ages five and seven, channeling life, heart, and soul into music from the start. By their early teens, they were crafting songs that reflected their experiences with striking honesty. In 2020, their cover of “If I Die Young” caught the attention of Grammy winner Kimberly Perry, who became a mentor and inspiration. Today, The Lockhearts are known for heartfelt harmonies and authentic storytelling that resonate deeply with listeners.

Part of Sun Radio’s mission is to support local musicians
Texas Radio Live is a continuation of Larry Monroe’s program, Texas Radio. When Monroe moved to Austin in 1977, his goal was to put Austin music on the radio in the form of records, live performances, and interviews. Soon after he joined KUT in 1981, he started a program called Texas Music, which was soon called Texas Radio. Texas Radio primarily spotlighted the recordings of Texas musicians, but occasionally featured a live guest or broadcast interviews taped by others. Monroe joined Sun Radio in 2011 and brought his programs, Blue Monday and Phil Music, with him, and also desired to bring back his Texas Radio program. Sun Radio founder, Daryl O’Neal responded to this by suggesting they create a live version of it. O’Neal then pitched the idea to Rob Lippincott, owner of Guero’s Taco Bar, who was thrilled at the idea of having Larry Monroe doing a program from Guero’s. Monroe then solicited the help of David Arnsberger… and Texas Radio Live was re-born! Texas Radio Live continues today after Monroe’s untimely death in January 2014 now from its new home at Half Step on Rainey Street.
The Sun Radio Recharge program has enabled Sun Radio to provide financial relief to local musicians through deferring the costs of electricity bills and paying artists to perform.
