KFROG 95.1 Christmas Throwdown 2025

After an explosive arrival and a series of grassroots hits, Hudson Westbrook is now taking his place among a new generation of country singer-songwriters. Self-taught and proudly rough-around-the-edges, the rising star made his splash debut with “Take It Slow” in 2024 (while still enrolled at Texas Tech) and is now pushing ahead, revitalizing the organic country-rock of the Red Dirt revolution – but refusing to be held down by his roots. Hailing from the small town of Stephenville, Texas, and raised on everything from George Strait to gangsta rap, he began playing guitar in 2020 and wrote his first song after enrolling in college in 2023. "Take It Slow” was one of the first songs Westbrook ever wrote and its edgy vocal charm and warm country-rock buzz made it a bonafide hit. Intent on taking the Texas country spirit far beyond the state line, non-stop travel to meet concert demand includes headlining dates throughout 2025, with plenty more on the way. His self-titled debut EP released in 2024 features his most coveted songs and includes singles “Pray Your Name” and “Take Your Time”. Hudson’s kicked off 2025 with “Mine Tomorrow” and the surprise Valentine’s Day release of “Dressed Down”. His latest single “Sober,” is now available on all streaming platforms.
