Fort Worth Roots Podcast

Much anticipation and a fair amount of waiting. We finally got the opportunity to record with the local Fort Worth legend, Sean Russell. Today's guest is the front man for the Cut Throat Finches. We caught our new friend and his band first at the Amplify 817 showcase held this year at the Will Rogers Coliseum here in Fort Worth Texas. The stage presence and overall talent witnessed at a CTF performance is second to none! Make it a point to catch Sean and his incredible friends at their next event.

You can catch them in OKC at Beer City with Flickerstick November 19th @ 7pm.

Check them out online www.cutthroatfinches.com

Sean, thank you for making time for Fort Worth Roots on an insanely busy weekend! You are always welcome to hang with us at the studio for a recording or a beer or both.

Fort Worth Roots needs your support. For as little as $4 a month you can feed a starving podcaster. Find our account on Patreon : patreon.com/fortworthroots

But HEEEYY!! Even if supporting us with a monthly contribution isn't in the cards for you, I just want you to know that we appreciate you just listening to the show each week. So THANK YOU!!!

A huge thank you to our sponsor's
