Thank You, Brownwood
You showed up, you sang along, and you made October 3 feel exactly like home. Thank you to every fan, artist, pitmaster, sponsor, volunteer and crew member who made it happen.

2025 Highlights
Meet Your Host
Eric Raines is joining us as the official host and MC of Feels Like Home. He has spent more than 30 years behind the microphone in Texas country radio — a seven-time Texas Radio Personality of the Year, a 2026 inductee into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame, and the voice you hear mornings on 95.9 Texas Country in Austin. He is also a drummer and a longtime champion of Texas and Red Dirt music, so he has logged as much time on stage as in front of a mic. Look for him on the mic all day Saturday, October 3.
