Wade Bowen's self-released 2002 album, Try Not To Listen, made him somewhat of a sensation in Texas. Its title tune went Top 10 on the Texas Music Chart. The statewide enthusiasm generated by his energetic live shows led the following year to The Blue Light Live, an in-concert album. With Lost Hotel in 2006, the single “God Bless This Town” went to the top of the Texas Music Charts while its video was a must watch. In 2008, Bowen’s release, If We Ever Make It Home, debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Chart, #29 on the Top Current Country Albums and #176 in the Top 200 Albums. If We Ever Make It Home has produced four number one singles on the Texas Music Chart and Texas Regional Radio Charts. On the heels of this success, Bowen released the next installment of the Live at Billy Bob’s Texas music series in the spring of 2010. Bowen recorded his CD and DVD in November 2009 to a packed house at the legendary, honky tonk. This is a live album with raw emotion, passion and intensity, captured for fans to relive again and again. His studio album, The Given, was issued in 2012. It reached #9 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. In 2016, he dropped the albums Then Sings My Soul: Songs for My Mother and Watch This, which he worked on with Randy Rogers. Bowen continues to tour and play unforgettable shows.
