Kevin Deal is both a stonemason and Weston volunteer firefighter, yet he still finds time to moonlight as a singer-songwriter. He's been recording and releasing his blend of country and Southern rock music for 20 years, and his latest record is The Long Road Home.

Kevin visited Notably Texan recently to speak about working with Mark David Manders and Ed Burleson, and his work with producer Lloyd Maines, plus his apprecation for public radio.

To see more about his music, and his stonecrafting work, check out Kevin Deal's website.

Listen to Notably Texan, weekdays 11am-2pm 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.
