On the Road with Dave Alexander – Carin Mari
By Dave Alexander
Two years ago while, making my annual trek to the Fort Worth Stock Show, I took time to enjoy a little cowboy shopping. Happily, I found what has become my favorite outfitter. “Schaefer Outfitters” has absolutely everything a ranchman could ask for when it comes to clothing. This story doesn’t stop here. In fact, this is just beginning.
While discovering everything a cowboy could desire in apparel, I soon learned that the young lady leading me through all my favorite fashions was also a singer—not just any singer but a “Cowgirl Singer.” “Nice,” I thought, as I continued to fill my shopping bag. Little did I know that I had just met the next major player in the western music industry.
Please welcome Carin Mari. This young beauty hails from the great state of Colorado, and is now making her mark on the western and country music business.

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.
