Bruce Robison: A Torchbearer of Texas Songwriting

Bruce Robison stands tall among Texas’ most respected songwriters, the pen behind enduring hits like The Chicks’ “Travelin’ Soldier,” George Strait’s “Wrapped,” and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “Angry All The Time.” Though his songs have topped charts and touched millions, Robison has never strayed from the heart of his craft: authentic storytelling through music.

In 2016, he founded The Next Waltz, a creative collective dedicated to preserving the spirit of genuine, unfiltered music. From The Bunker, his analog-only studio near Austin, Robison records with a rotating cast of acclaimed artists—eschewing digital trickery in favor of raw, organic sound.

A tireless creator and curator of tradition, Robison continues to shape the Americana and country music landscapes, blending reverence for the past with a bold, independent vision for the future.
