Album review: Jesse Dayton drops outstanding new record this Friday

Austin’s Jesse Dayton is much like his influences Waylon, Willie and even The Clash and X. The music the Texas musician makes perfectly reflects those disparate styles and more. As an artist, Dayton refuses to be pigeon-holed into a particular genre.

Interview: Austin singer Robynn Shayne dropped a true country record today

Austin singer-songwriter Robynn Shayne uses a hashtag to promote her work.  It’s called #HustleWithGrace.  When asked about the meaning behind this tag she explained that it’s about positive flow, not being a jerk or trying to step on anyone while making your dreams happen.  It’s about artists helping other artists rise to the top.  To the top is where Robynn is headed.  The Cosmic Clash recently sat down with Robynn at  Detroit style pizza-pie joint VIA 313  in Austin to discuss her latest album, Coffee Days and Whiskey Nights.  This is Robynn’s third release, after her self-titled debut and a sophomore album Rebel Child.
