In this episode, Adam welcomes brothers Chris and Kelly Mosser for a conversation that spans decades of Austin’s evolving music and media scene. Chris shares stories from his early days in a Lubbock metal band and how that journey led him to Austin, where he became a recognizable voice on iconic stations like KLBJ and now Sun Radio. Kelly, who arrived in Austin for college in 2001, reflects on his path from math major to Director of Brand Partnerships and Premium Seating at ACL Live, helping grow the venue’s national profile.

Together, they offer a unique perspective on Austin’s transformation, from clubs like Liberty Lunch and the Backyard to modern, high-end venues like Moody Center and ACL Live. They discuss how the music scene has changed, the role of corporate partnerships in preserving live music, and what it will take to keep Austin’s cultural identity intact. Chris and Kelly have experienced Austin’s music scene from every angle—from metal shows to media deals, and dive bars to VIP suites. Tune in for a backstage pass into the city’s evolving sound, told through the eyes of two brothers who lived it.
