Interview

Hailing from South Texas, Joel Brogon brings a fresh voice to Americana. His musical journey is deeply influenced by a rich tapestry of genres, drawing inspiration from classic singer-songwriters, folk sounds of the ’70s, and traditional ’90s country music. At the heart of Brogon’s artistry lies a profound commitment to narrative storytelling, weaving tales inspired by his own life experiences and those of the community around him. Through his songs, he sheds light on a wide range of topics, from the beauty of nature to social justice issues like LGBTQ+ rights and environmental stewardship.
