Alex Heckler was born on August 18, 1989 with Down Syndrome and a deep passion for Broadway musical theatre. He cultivated his obsession with these wonderful musicals by attending every musical on Broadway that he could get tickets to. He attended Pennridge High School in Pennsylvania and graduated from the Chapel Haven Schliefter Center where he majored in Theatre. With his degree in hand, he lives independently and continues to enjoy musical theatre. In his career, he has had roles in productions of Fiddler On The Roof as Tevya’s father, a bartender and a bagel salesman, and he was an integral part of the townspeople chorus in Bye Bye Birdie and Beauty And The Beast. He is an inspiration to his family and everyone he meets. I am grateful to know and love him and I wish him the happiest of birthday’s on this episode of Backstory Song where he will share with us some of his favorite Broadway musical songs.

Keeton Coffman grew up in Bryan-College Station, Texas and after finding an old Alvarez guitar in his mother’s closet, his mom taught him a handful of chords and he found his passion. He was an elite gymnast who became a national champion and practiced his guitar on his travels to events and during his college years at the University of Texas in Austin. He formed a critically lauded rock band, The 71s, in Houston that was categorized as Christian rock, but was perhaps mostly rock and the band parted ways in 2012 and he began his solo career. His first album in 2016 Killers Eyes focused on the beauty found in the grit of hard work and it received strong trade press reviews. It was then that Keeton suffered a mental setback. He had been diagnosed with Bipolar II and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in high school, and the diseases re-emerged and set him back. He sought treatment and openly talks about his road to recovery and he kept writing songs. It is these personal songs from the heartland rocker that formed his new album Hard Times. The rocking songs from the album are rooted in his childhood experiences growing up in Bryan and College Station. In this episode, Keeton discusses “Wounded Heart,” “Magician,” “Let Her Go,” “Killer Eyes,” “Make It Look Easy,” and “Hurricane.”

Inspired by the 60s British Invasion, Motown, R&B, and the legendary activist punk attack of Detroit based MC5, The Romantics first show opened for the New MC5 in 1977 and led to an extensive worldwide touring schedule.

Born and raised near Lubbock, Texas, Ross Cooper began his adulthood as a professional rodeo rider before a knee injury ended his career.  He drew upon these experiences of life in Lubbock and on the rodeo circuit in crafting his third studio album, Chasing Old Highs, as a follow-up to his albums I Rode The Wild Horses and I Give It Time.  Named by Rolling Stone one of the 10 New Country Artists you should know, Ross combines classic western themes with a modern alternative indie sound to create ear pleasing songs.  A rising star on the Nashville Songwriting scene, his songs have been cut by rising stars Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen and William Clark Green. Ross talks about "Free Wheelin Feelin," "Chasing Old Highs," "Forever To Get There," "South Of The Angels," "Hello Sunshine," and "New Orleans."

Ed Hill grew up on a cotton farm in the San Joaquin Valley of California between Bakersfield and Fresno. He became the house piano player and backing band at both the legendary Blackboard Café in Bakersfield and the Palimino Club in North Hollywood. In those clubs, he backed legendary artists like Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Marty Robbins and Willie Nelson before becoming part of the Grammy Nominated Mickey Gilleys Urban Cowboy Band. He moved to Nashville and made the career switch to full time songwriter and never looked back. He was BMI Songwriter of the Year in 2006 and has had 13 Top Ten Billboard songs and four Number Ones. Probably for Ed, the most meaningful recognition has come from his peers at the Nashville Songwriters Association who have awarded him four times the “Songs I Wish I Had Written” Award for “It Matters To Me,” “Georgia Rain,” “Find Out Who Your Friends Are,” and “Just Fishin.”

Aja Volkman-Reynolds and Dan Epand spent more than ten years playing anthemic alt rock together as two-thirds of Nico Vega, and over that decade of tours, recording sessions, and label deals, they forged an artistic partnership that endures. After announcing Nico Vega’s hiatus but they’re back as a duo, simply named TWO. Their debut record Pull The Knife Out heralds the confident start of their new era. Sparked by Volkman’s since-revoked separation from her husband (Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons) the writing process dredged up seven tracks worth of meditations on pain, reconciliation, and maybe most centrally, womanhood. It’s something Volkman has grappled with as a mother of four in the midst of the #MeToo movement.

Gary Nicholson is a two-time Grammy winning producer and member of the Texas Heritage Songwriter Hall of Fame. He has had more than 500 recordings of his songs released. His songs span multiple genres including country, rock, blues, folk, bluegrass and pop. After growing up near Dallas and playing in seedy bars in Fort Worth, Texas, he went off to North Texas State University to play music. After an evening partying with the legendary Gram Parsons of the Flying Burrito Brothers following a gig at North Texas, he was lured to Los Angeles by Gram and met up with his college buddies Don Henley and Jim Ed Norman. This was the early 70s heyday of the Laurel Canyon Hollywood singer songwriter boom and the guitar playing and songwriting bug bit Gary. His songs have been recorded by an insanely long list of artists which includes Garth Brooks, BB King, John Prine, Ringo Star, Waylon Jennings, Emmy Lou Harris, Vince Gill, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Robert Plant, Reba McEntire and a list that goes on. His 50 year friendship and collaboration with Delbert McClinton produced over 50 recorded songs and several award winning records. An amazingly kind and humble man who is overflowing with talent, you may not know Gary Nicholson but you have heard his songs.

Rain Phoenix and longtime collaborator, Kirk Hellie, created her 2019 solo debut, River, a musical exploration of homage to her late brother, River nearly three decades earlier. The passage of nearly three decades finally unlocked the creative floodgates for Rain Phoenix to craft River on her LaunchLeft label. The singer, songwriter, activist, actress, and philanthropist first re-visited her earliest foray into music as one-half of Aleka’s Attic alongside late big brother River Phoenix. From there, she derived the strength, soul, and spirit to forge a body of work that not only serves as a totem to his legacy, but also illuminates the bold breadth and beauty of her own artistry. On the 25th anniversary of his death in October 2018, she made the decision to release the Time Gone, boasting two unreleased tracks from Aleka’s Attic - “Where I’d Gone” and “Scales & Fishnails” - alongside her first-ever solo composition “Time is the Killer” featuring Michael Stipe of R.E.M. River flowed out of this.

Nashville Songwriter Hall of Famer, Aaron Barker, grew up in San Antonia playing guitar and in the 70s and early 80s he fronted a Texas southern rock band, The American Peddlers, playing clubs and military bases in Texas and the southwest. Frustrated trying to breakthrough on his own, Aaron moved to Nashville to try to sell his own songs there. With little success, he returned to San Antonio when he discovered George Strait had recorded his song, “Baby Blue,” and it rose to #1 on the Country Charts. George Strait went on to take Aaron’s “Love Without End, Amen,” “Easy Come, Easy Go” to #1 and “I’ld Like To Have That One Back” to #3, “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” to #4, and “I Know She Still Loves Me” to #5 and Aaron’s place in Nashville songwriting royalty was enshrined. Country legends like Clay Walker (“You’re Beginning To Get To Me”), Doug Supernaw (“Not Enough Hours In The Night”), Clay Walker (“You’re Beginning To Get To Me”), and Lonestar (“What About Now”) also had hits with Aaron’s songs.
