Tyce Delk: From New Mexico to West Texas Country

In this episode of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill is joined by rising country artist Tyce Delk, a New Mexico native now making noise in the thriving Lubbock, TX scene. They dive into the story behind Tyce’s brand-new debut EP, "Enough Ain’t Enough", exploring his songwriting process, small-town upbringing, and the influence of Red Dirt and Texas country music on his sound. Tyce shares how his time at Texas Tech helped shape his perspective and musical path, while also unpacking the creative freedom that comes from being an independent artist. The two discuss the cultural quirks of West Texas, his love of family and community, and the importance of finding your own voice in a crowded music landscape. Tyce reflects on the emotional depth of tracks like "Thinking Too Hard" and "She’s From Texas," and the personal meaning behind the EP’s title track.
