Chasing a Dream... Logan Mac's Journey

   To say Logan Mccaskill A.K.A. Logan Mac's musical journey has just begun is an understatement. While he may not be nationally known his journey started at a young age. While some kids found themselves drifting away to the conversations in cartoons; Logan was getting lost in music. Country music to be exact. Growing up in Purcell, Oklahoma his mama started ingraining Country Music into his soul.
     It seems to fit. Logan has a sound most commonly compared to the likes of Georgia's Brantley Gilbert best known for the song Country must be Country Wide, and Texas Powerhouse's The  Randy Rogers Band whose song Kiss me in the Dark made them a tantalizing sensation and the newest Texas band to brand themselves to country radio The Josh Abbott Band whose song Touch is steaming it way up the radio airplay charts. Although, his sound can also be thrown back and be compared to Steve Earle whose song Cooperhead Road is highly recognized. However, Logan only wish is to do what he loves and to have fans who can relate to his stuff. Logan says the best feeling comes after playing a gig and someone comes up to him and says "Man, you played songs about my life." Logan said there was no greater feeling than that.
    While Logan only picked up a guitar two years ago after watching Walk the Line: the major motion picture depicting the lives of Johnny and June Carter Cash it doesn't show. Logan credits Social Media for making it easier to spread his music to a wider audience. In this day and age for an up and coming artist YouTube and Facebook have become powerful tools to reach people who may not be able to see them live. Logan got signed to Tcm and is awaiting to put out his first album.
    While he isn't sure what his band of loyal followers will be called he is grateful that people want to follow him and  hear his music. After his album is produced Logan hopes to do a few duets and if he is lucky his dream duet is with the Coal Miner's Daughter herself: Miss Loretta Lynn.
     In a day and age where Country music has been transformed to expand to a broader audience how does someone with a twang compete with a modern market...Easy. Music is always changing and Logan Mac undoubtedly has the power to help people revert back to the type of country that tells a story and pulls at your heart.
     As the next generation of country artist take their reign...Logan Mac is one to watch for. So, check out Logan Mac on YouTube and Facebook. Get lost in Logan's dream with him and find a sense of peace in his soulful twang. Help Logan chase his dream and come along for his exciting journey to super stardom.
