Over the past few years, Chuck Westmoreland has emerged from Portland’s crowded indie rock scene as one of the West’s leading voices in Americana and country. His amazing new record, Long Winter Rodeo, and the incredible reviews that followed have all but cemented Westmoreland’s position as a top-notch, must-see, must-hear singer-songwriter.

That’s why we were so psyched have him as a guest for Episode #88 of That Much Further West Podcast. Recorded live at Landmark Saloon, Chuck goes deep with our hosts as he discusses the making of the new record, his re-emergence after an eight-year hiatus as a singer and performer, and how revisiting his roots in East Texas inspired much of the vivid imagery captured in the songs on Long Winter Rodeo.

He also shares a handful of live performances to the delight of our team and the folks in attendance. One listen and it’s easy to understand — with this voice and these songs, Mr. Westmoreland has the chops to match the hype.

Chuck has a big show with is band coming up Thursday, July 26 at The Fixin’ To in Portland, and you can follow his exploits (reviews, show dates, updates) at his website.
