After a long day of writing about all things Stagecoach, here are two artists playing the 2012 Stagecoach Country Music Festival whom I adore: Hayes Carll and Nick 13.

I first saw Hayes Carll on a tour when he opened for the Old 97’s a few years back and he has some clever lyrics and catchy melodies.

“Bad Liver and a Broken Heart” is my favorite.

One of my favorite Stagecoach moments over the years was when I saw Nick 13 play what I believe was his first solo show at Stagecoach 2010. I’m a fan of his Tiger Army material, but I think he shines as a solo artist in a completely different way.

Here’s “Carry My Body Down.”
