Live Music: Caden Gillard
Caden Gillard is a country artist with a remarkable backstory as a former professional bull rider. An inspiration and testament of true grit, Gillard taught himself to play guitar in 2009 while battling leukemia, often performing for staff and other patients in the hospital, then later fine-tuned his songwriting on the PRCA rodeo circuit.
His music blends several Texas-rooted styles. Combining old-school honky-tonk, red dirt country, rock ‘n’ roll, and a hint of blues, Caden Gillard burst onto the scene in 2018 with his debut album Gold Buckle Dreams, followed by Red Dirt Rock N Roll in 2020 and Love & Heartbreak in 2022. He has toured as a support artist for major Texas Country names including Cody Johnson, Koe Wetzel, Zach Bryan, Lee Brice, and Kevin Fowler.
