On the Road with Dave Alexander – Meet artist, Mikki Daniel

Published

By Dave Alexander

Probably one of my most favorite things about Texans is their deep commitment to the history of our great state. The second thing is their uncanny ability to continue this deep rooted dedication into the future.

Most Texans seem to be born with the natural instinct to continue the legacy of their parents and grandparents while carving a name for themselves in the next generation.

When it comes to Texas music, there is a young lady in North Texas who is doing just that. Her name is Mikki Daniel. When I first met this young cowgirl, she was fifteen years old and enrolling in the Big Texas Swing School to study Western Swing.

We became fast friends as we shared a deep passion for this great style of Texas music. I quickly learned that this young lady was beyond her years when it came to delivering a song. I could see that Mikki was on the verge of becoming a powerhouse in the continuance of Texas music. To read more pick up a copy of the May 2016 issue.

Seems lately these days Texas is becoming the envy of musicians from around the world.
With the overwhelming response to “Yellowstone,” the television series, Texas once again finds itself under the microscope of the world, much like the late 1980’s TV series know to all around the globe as “Dallas.”

With that said, the musician population in Texas is beginning to grow as many aspiring performers turn their sights on Texas instead of Nashville. Meet my newly-found friend and fellow musician Grace Partridge. This youthful 19 year old has recently made Texas her new home. She began fiddling at age four in Rigby, Idaho. Grace worked her way through the National Fiddle championships in Weiser, Idaho, becoming a five-time national champion. She’s even played on the Grand Ole Opry. Still yet, her desire to become a true Texas Fiddler has brought her to the Lone Star State. I’m pretty sure we can thank Bob Wills for that.
