Cannon Brand and Justin Gates, also known as Bottomland, are a Texas country duo consisting of two talented songwriters and performers who blend classic outlaw country with red dirt grit and a Southern edge. Centered around tight harmonies, driving guitars, and honest lyrics, they keep their sound firmly rooted in today's Texas country scene.

On stage, they bring incredible energy, naturally connecting with audiences whether they're performing in a packed dancehall, at a festival, or in an intimate acoustic setting. Their chemistry as a duo is the heart of their sound, delivering performances that feel less like a show and more like a shared experience.

They are not chasing trends; instead, they focus on telling stories and preserving the tradition of Texas country music in an authentic, relatable, and unapologetically real way.

In this special anniversary episode of Twin Rivers Music Scene, we’re celebrating one full year of conversations, growth, and community. We take a moment to look back on how this podcast began, why we felt called to create it, and the mission that continues to guide every episode.

We share meaningful milestones and listener stats from our first year, reflect on the lessons we’ve learned along the way, and flip the mic inward by interviewing each other as co-hosts—opening up about the journey, challenges, and moments that shaped Twin Rivers into what it is today.

Stay tuned for what is next in 2026, and thank you for being part of this music scene with us. Here’s to where we’ve been—and everything still flowing ahead!
