New songs this week from Flower Child & Jah Born, Northern National, Clair Reilly-Roe, and Ariel & The Culture. We heard country-tinged tracks from Evan Boyer and Dan O’Connell (who both made their Local Show debuts!), a sweet song about trying to forget from The Half Guided Hearts, and a beautiful, haunting new number called “Darker It Grows” from Fort Worth’s Cameron Smith.
You can see the entire playlist after this week’s highlights, and if you are an artist from North Texas, submit your music here.

Clair Reilly-Roe says she wrote a bunch of songs over the pandemic and she’s just now starting to release them. ‘Let It Rain” is a smooth track slightly tinged with psychedelic tones.
Northern National
