The North Texas State Fair and Rodeo -- Music

Pauline Reese

Pauline Reese is an Alt-Country angel, steadfast and masterful with a voice called "top-notch" by those in the know. She is the first woman to be named Entertainer of the Year by the Texas Music Association. Her voice is powerful and majestic as she glides flawlessly through her stellar line-up of tunes.

Pauline defines her own style treating her voice as an instrument, putting forth tones as stately and true as the Lone Star State. Her style cannot be stereotyped by a single label or confined by a single genre. She embraces styles ranging from traditional country to Americana to pop sounds of mainstream radio, melding all these into a sound able to reign in national attention. She is vigorous and unwavering, hard-working and strong-willed with an infectious smile, a genuine master of a truly unique sound.

Touring relentlessly through Texas and the surrounding states, Pauline lives the life of a free spirit, a non-conformist with the mojo she inherited from her grandfather, a traveling competitor on the rodeo circuit who played guitar and banjo on the side. She is positive, confident and fearless, running the gauntlet of life experiences and transforming herself at every twist and turn, keeping her sense of self intact and her musical dreams in sight, overcoming hardships and expressing them through song.

Reese is backed up by High Country, one of the best bands in Texas music, a crew of country loving rock musicians who know how to turn the heat up on a honky-tonk song. Couple that with one of the best vocalists in the state and you have a lineup you don't want to miss.
