After an explosive arrival and a series of grassroots hits, River House Artists talent Hudson Westbrook is now taking his place among a new generation of country singer-songwriters. Self-taught and proudly rough-around-the-edges, the rising star debuted with the viral track “Take It Slow” in 2024. Westbrook is now pushing ahead, revitalizing the authentic country foundations at the heart of the Red Dirt revolution—yet refusing to be confined by his origins.

Hailing from the small town of Stephenville, Texas, and raised on everything from
George Strait to gangsta rap, the multi-sport athlete and high school football state
champion began playing guitar in 2020. Blue-collar in both life experience and approach, “Take It Slow” was one of the first songs Westbrook ever wrote, and after recording the laid- back tribute to romantic relaxation for $400, its edgy vocal charm and warm country-rock buzz made it a bona fide hit, racking up more than 20+ million global career streams since its release.
