## Resource

Most Texas country fans have never heard a duo with a punk rock influence and a love for green guitars like Bottomland. Justin and Cannon’s fresh, genre-blending sound is turning heads—especially after their surprise debut at Billy Bob’s and a recent record deal with Sony. But it’s not just music that sets them apart; their journey—from humble beginnings in small Texas towns to sharing stages with Flatland Cavalry and Aaron Lewis—reveals a relentless drive to redefine what Texas country can be.
