“My most recent album is my ‘love letter’ to Texas and I named it Solid Ground because this is a place where people treat everyone like family and support each other through tough times,” said Wade Bowen. “The Bowen Family Foundation has those same ideals and for twenty years, I am proud to say we’ve had the support of this community, and beyond, in raising money that we pass on to family and children’s charities. We’ve been blessed to have grown into a new venue and I have to say from the bottom of my heart – I am incredibly grateful to the musicians and their crews who are donating their time and talent to help out as well.

Wade Bowen’s new album, Solid Ground, debuted in February at #7 on the Independent Album Chart and #10 on the Americana Chart. Its straight-forward, yet poetic, lyrics have been described as some of the best of Bowen’s career.
