Tano Jones Revelry and Kylie Hernandez: Texas Radio Live
November 5 @ 7:00 pm
Tano Jones Revelry
Cradling a trusty six-string in-hand, looking out from under the brim of a dusty hat, and accompanied by a big red Labrador riding shotgun, Tano Jones makes music for the people, and he brings it right to them…
The proud Detroit-born singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, and namesake of The Tano Jones Revelry calls out to the seekers. His music is for anybody who can’t contain their lust for life and dreams for a better tomorrow. These are songs that’ll compel you to clap and stomp, bust out your air guitar, and sing at the top of your lungs. As such, he’s tapped into a sense of magic conjured through adherence to Americana troubadour tradition with a jolt of rock ‘n’ roll and the kind of no-nonsense Midwest soul you feel right away in your bones.
Kylie Hernandez
Born and raised in the “Live Music Capital of the World”, 22-year-old singer-songwriter Kylie Hernandez from Austin, Texas has always had a passion for music from an early age. Growing up, she was surrounded by country music and it had a large influence on her songwriting and the artists she is inspired by. She takes inspiration from artists like Kacey Musgraves, Willow Avalon, Chaparelle, Dolly Parton, Sabrina Carpenter and Lana Del Rey. Formerly a pop artist, Kylie has made the shift to the country music genre after living in Nashville for a year in 2022. Since then, she has released her debut album, “In Memoriam”, followed it with her breakout single “That’s Your Man” in June, and dropped her new Lone Star state anthem, “To Texas” in August. With more music on the way, Kylie is quickly becoming an artist to watch in modern country.

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.
