October is Homegrown Music Month at KXT. Tune in to 91.7 FM today to hear Claire Hinkle’s music. And check back tomorrow to see who we’re featuring next.
Claire Hinkle
From: Fort Worth
Goes well with: Brandi Carlile, The Black Crowes
Why we picked them: A firecracker with the smile of an angel and the tongue of a sailor, Hinkle’s brand of sweet and savage compliments her unfiltered songwriting—giving audiences a fresh Americana voice to key your ex’s car to. She delivers a killer performance, fronting a boisterous band with an infectiously vivacious energy. I like to think of her music as rock meets Americana—“rockicana.”
The Midnight Troubadour
Tough and timeless, this polo is built for the long ride. Featuring a crisp, non-collapsing collar and a rugged, stretchy fabric, it's the perfect shirt for any cowboy's wardrobe.
Fun fact: Claire Hinkle was recently featured on Western AF, recording a set with the renowned live performance video channel that focuses on documenting modern singers.
