Music Monday Featured Artist: Brody Caster

Brody Caster is a proud Texas Red Dirt Country artist. At 25 years old, he’s put in a lot of miles and hours, already building a solid and growing fan base. He says,

“I’m in it for the long haul. When I first heard this music, I thought, ‘This is amazing. There is something here.’ From there, I dove into the scene and just became absolutely enthralled with it.”

He’s been focused for some time now, on the direction he wanted to go. Caster was only 17 when he sang on the Grand Ole Opry with his National High School Honor Choir. He knew then that he was going to find a way to turn music into a full-time career.

And although the singer/songwriter is actually from Southeast Kansas, he always knew Texas is where he’d call home one day. “I love Kansas, and I also really appreciate what Texas has to offer. But I knew, to really be a part of this music, I needed to be here.

So after Caster graduated college, he loaded up his truck and moved to the Lone Star State. Soon after, he was playing open mic nights and acoustic shows at venues all over.

Of course, in 2020, the pandemic hit. He stayed productive and used that time to write music and put his official band together. Regarding his songwriting, Caster said:

“I’ve found what works best for me, is just trying to be as honest and relatable as possible. I try not to write about things that I don’t know about.”

And people have been paying attention to his work. In November of 2020, Brody won the new artist scholarship at the Texas Country Music Awards. His single “Started with a Song” won the local music showdown on Fort Worth’s 95.9 The Ranch and charted on the TRRR. “Obviously, it’s great to know people are listening,” he says.

For the past few months, Brody Caster has been releasing singles off his self-titled debut album, which was released on March 4th. He and his band are currently playing shows across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. As far as future touring ambitions, he says, “I’m a huge fan of what Randall King, Mike Ryan, & Muscadine Bloodline are currently doing. Opening a tour for them would be awesome!”

Patrick OD O'Donnell

The moment a bull's gate swings open—that's when Patrick "OD" O'Donnell feels most alive. From his early days riding bareback through Arizona pastures to revolutionizing the bull riding industry as President of Bull Riders Only, OD has lived the Western lifestyle he now champions as Founder of Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Growing up in Casa Grande's sunbaked agricultural heartland, he didn't just learn about horses and ranching, he lived it daily, developing the instincts and grit that would later attract 4 million followers to CLN's authentic voice. After his baseball days at the University of Arizona, OD saw something others missed: bull riding wasn't just a sport, but was compelling entertainment waiting for the right vision. Between 1990-1997, his leadership transformed local rodeo competitions into sold-out arena events that changed Western sports forever. Today, that same pioneering spirit drives CLN's coverage of everything from championship rodeos to the quiet heroism of ranch life. When he's not building the digital home for cowboy culture, you'll find OD supporting Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, leading CLN’s 25-year Christmas Toy Drive for Arizona kids, or sharing his love of horsemanship with special needs riders through Arizona's own Horses Help. Living proof that authentic Western values still have the power to transform lives.
