In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with Texas country-rock rising star Aaron McBee to dive into his roots, his sound, and his debut project 'Who I Am'. Hailing from outside Fort Worth and now part of the Lubbock scene, Aaron shares how growing up around rodeo culture and traditional country music helped shape his no-holds-barred approach to storytelling. He talks about finding his musical identity after a college baseball injury redirected his path, and how influences from grunge, Southern rock, and the red dirt scene converge in his music. The conversation touches on building a live band, the power of collaboration with producers, and why he prefers to chase "real" over "viral." From early touring memories to the songwriting process behind tracks like “Porch Light” and “Scream,” Aaron brings an honest and refreshing perspective on what it means to carve out a career in country music on your own terms.
