April 8, 2026·10 min
The episode begins with a promotional segment for Shopify before host Corliss introduces Highway 6 Band, an Aggieland country music group. She notes this is their third interview this week and highlights their unique trajectory from Battle of the Bands winners to Chili Fest openers to now being on the full lineup. The band members—Erwin, Justin, Aaron, and Brandon—discuss feeling healthy pressure about this progression. They talk about wanting to show how much they've improved since last year when their song 'I Can Barely Breathe' started getting radio play. The conversation shifts to their new single 'Still Holding On,' released April 3rd, which they describe as a heartbreak song. The band explains they recorded it around the same time as 'I Can Barely Breathe' and that both songs represent them figuring out their artistic identity without a producer. Corliss playfully asks about their relationship status, revealing two members have girlfriends while two are single. After debuting the new single, Corliss asks each band member for their favorite Chili Fest moment. Aaron recalls Josh Abbott arriving on a camel, Brandon mentions shotgunning beers with a frat, Justin enjoyed meeting Treaty Oak Revival, and Erwin appreciated watching other acts perform. The host shares that she had to keep the band's lineup spot secret and expresses how happy she was for them. She confirms they're performing on Friday and urges listeners to attend, noting tickets are available at chilifest.org. The episode ends with congratulations and well-wishes.
