Jesse Dayton, Ian Moore, and Johnny Moeller announce new band and album
Texas Headhunters—the blistering new band uniting Lone Star guitar heroes Ian Moore, Jesse Dayton, and Johnny Moeller—unleash their debut single “Maggie Went Back to Mineola”, with their full self-titled album Texas Headhunters to follow on August 22 via Hardcharger/Blue Élan Records.
Tracked live at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio over five fire-breathing days, Texas Headhunters strips the paint off the walls: 12 gut-punch tracks, snarling and hard-lived — Texas blues at its coolest and most combustible.
The sessions were engineered and co-produced by Grammy-winning veteran Steve Chadie (Willie Nelson, Los Lonely Boys), whose no-frills approach captured the band’s unfiltered fire—raw, smoky, and as dangerous as a late-night pull of mezcal.
The first taste, “Maggie Went Back to Mineola,” is a Jesse Dayton-penned tale of hard living and harder redemption. “A girl from Mineola goes to Dallas and becomes a stripper,” Dayton says. “She gets into all this stuff, then comes home to work at the Dollar General and try to go to church. That’s Ian on lead.”
Driven by deep-pocket rhythms and barbed guitar licks, “Maggie” channels the same gritty spirit that powered early ZZ Top—bluesy, swaggering, and built to blast from a car radio with the windows down.
The magic is in the mix: Moore’s psychedelic edge, Moeller’s deep-pocket sting, and Dayton’s outlaw grind. All three sing. All three write. All three can burn the house down—but they also know when to lay back and let the groove breathe. It’s a dance, not a duel—and it hits like nothing else on the American roots scene right now.
This summer, Texas Headhunters make their live debut supporting Samantha Fish’s Paper Doll World Tour on a tight run of East Coast preview dates.
An official album release tour will follow in August, September, and October.

What a solo!
To be honest, I have been looking for a long time for a clear resource where I could not just read dry descriptions of casinos or games, but really understand whether it is worth getting involved in this at all. And then I accidentally came across one platform that turned my idea of such sites upside down. From the first minutes, you can feel that everything here is done for people: the navigation is intuitive, the information is structured, and most importantly, it is updated regularly. There is no dull “copy-paste”, like on most other sites. Here you feel that behind the content there is someone who understands the topic more here Spinarium App . A separate plus is detailed game guides. Even if you are a beginner, everything is explained in simple language: from choosing a crash game to analyzing bonus mechanics. I was also pleased with the honest reviews of gaming platforms. It is clear that everything is written with experience, and not just “off the cuff”. By the way, the mobile version of the site is also at its best – no lags, everything is adapted perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised even by the ability to filter by game type and popularity. And they also collect interesting offers – promos, free spins, temporary promotions that you can not miss. In general, if you are looking for a normal source of information without advertising noodles – this is the place. Personally, I have already added it to my bookmarks.
