With a night to kill the day before the 2021 Texas Country Music Awards, I drove out to Midlothian, TX to see David Adam Byrnes perform at The Oasis Bar & Grille.  The venue was quite the place – it was a smoky biker bar in the middle of nowhere in a big converted barn.  When I walked in, a young kid named Hayden Hilliard was performing as the opening act.  He was playing mostly covers, but he clearly has talent.  He reminds me of a young Parker McCollum and is worth keeping an eye on.

After a short break, David Adam Byrnes took the stage.  The Arkansas native intertwined his story about his journey from Nashville to Texas into his set, which was full of his recent #1 Texas hits and then some.  The night was a memorable experience full of great music as I further dove into the Texas Country Music scene.  Here is David’s set list from the show!
