A Texas Troubadour with a Voice All His Own
Django Walker has long been a staple of the Texas country music scene, known for his heartfelt songwriting, rich vocals, and deep connection to the Lone Star State. While his roots run deep—being the son of legendary singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker—Django has built a career that stands firmly on its own merits.
A Musical Journey Rooted in Texas
Raised in Austin, Texas, Django was surrounded by music from the start. Influenced by icons like Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt, he began writing songs that captured the spirit of Texas life. His early success came when Pat Green recorded his song "Texas on My Mind," and Jimmy Buffett later picked up "Something 'Bout a Boat."
Django’s own performances are marked by authenticity and energy, whether he’s playing a small venue or a major festival. His lyrics often reflect themes of freedom, youth, and Texas pride—resonating deeply with fans across generations.
Latest Album: My Hero
In 2025, Django released his latest album, My Hero, a heartfelt tribute to the people and places that have shaped his life. The album blends traditional Texas country with modern Americana, featuring both introspective ballads and upbeat anthems. While the full tracklist hasn’t been widely published, fans have praised the album for its emotional depth and musical maturity.
My Hero is available on major streaming platforms and at Django’s live shows, where he continues to connect with audiences through his storytelling and stage presence.
