After a four month tour to support his new record “Songs From the Kitchen Sink†Wagner has made Austin, Texas, his home. He has performed at six universities, two television shows, countless radio shows, the Kerrville Folk Festival, and was a featured artist at the Texas Story Telling Festival, The Deep Ellum arts and Music Festival, and The Fort Worth Arts Festival. He has been featured on NPR’s Texas Eclectic radio show along with a spot on Texas Radio One. He was labeled as Number 1 best bet by both the Austin American Statesman and The Dallas Morning news. Wagner's Music has been covered by over eighteen different artists and two of his songs were featured in the film “The Porchâ€. The Dallas Morning News referred to Wagner as “A North Texas Songwriting Stapleâ€. His songs consist of his highway travels, broken hearts, and the strangers he has met along his journeys. He mainly performs as a solo artist but is often backed up with his band, the Kitchen Sink Poets. He was born in West Virgina, raised in Albuquerque, NM., but spent the last fifteen years of his life in Texas. Wagner has recorded two Albums on Insect Records with Polyphonic Spree member and string arranger, Rick G. Nelson. He is currently working on a third which will feature a couple songs from other Insect Recording artists. Wagner has been compared to Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Ryan Adams and Townes Van Zandt. He was a regional finalist in the New Folk Songwriting Competition, and, while still in College, won the Texas Colligate Songwriter Award.-- -- -- START SHOPPING CART TO CD BABY --
