Enterprising performers create unique sounds

Matt Meinke

Northeast Texas music artists Bryson Moore and Chase Rippy recently joined Matt Meinke on Notably Texan to discuss their craft.

Combining the unlikely sounds of the African djembe drum with traditional roots acoustic guitar and lyrics, Bryson and Chase create a musical vibe of all their own. Regular performances at the Commerce Songwriters Showcase have brought the duo's uncommon sound to a new audience, and brought the attention of Notably Texan.

We encourage you to catch interview segments when they air during Notably Texan, in order to hear the full in-studio performances.

Notably Texan can be heard weeknights at 6, and Saturday nights at 7 on KETR.

Born in Dallas, Texas, Matt moved to the Sulphur Springs area in 1990 and settled in Commerce shortly thereafter. Having dreamed of working in radio since childhood, he began working at KETR while taking Radio-Television courses at Texas A&M University-Commerce in 1993. Matt has transitioned from a part-time worker and pupil of KETR, to the station’s Chief Announcer/Producer and supervisor of student broadcasters. A familiar voice of 88-9 KETR, Matt has hosted such shows as The Late Nite Lion, and can currently be heard as host of Notably Texan.
