KXT kicked off its Homegrown Music Month with a bang at the Lemmon Ave Whataburger in Dallas on last Wednesday October 2, where eager fans lined up for a chance to grab Homegrown Bites, Vol. 1 — a limited-edition orange vinyl featuring North Texas artists like The Rosemont Kings, Phantomelo, Cure for Paranoia, Squeezebox Bandits, and more.

One particularly dedicated fan arrived as early as 10:00 AM, determined to secure his copy of the vinyl. Throughout the afternoon, attendees expressed heartfelt appreciation as they picked up their records, with some coming for the vinyl and staying for Whataburger, while others stumbled upon the event during lunch and left with a surprise piece of North Texas music history.

One fan, who simply stopped in for a bite to eat, discovered the giveaway and was thrilled to find out he’d been handed a free vinyl—especially since he’s been a KXT listener for years. The event was filled with excitement, and KXT DJ Lesley James was on hand to meet with attendees and keep the energy going.

Over 150 vinyls were given out at the first drop in Dallas. If you missed this event, don’t worry — there are more giveaways every Wednesday in October at Whataburger locations across North Texas. Featured artist Angel White will make appearances at the Fort Worth and Plano giveaways on October 16 and 23, while Remy Reilly will close out the month in Carrollton on October 30. Be sure to stop by, grab a vinyl, and enjoy the best of Texas music and food.
