CALVERT — Rising Texas country artist Billie Jo Jones will bring her chart-topping sound to Robertson County when she performs live at Cowgirls Tavern in Calvert on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are $25.

Located at 508 S. Main St. in Calvert, Cowgirls Tavern has quickly become a go-to stop for live country music in Robertson County. The show will also feature an opening performance by Texas singer Dani LaCour, setting the stage for an evening of original songs, traditional influences, and crowd-pleasing entertainment.

Jones, a Dallas native now based near Grand Saline, has emerged as one of the most talked-about new voices in Texas country music. Known for blending the spirit of traditional country with a modern edge, she has topped the Texas Regional Radio chart with singles such as “Right Now Kinda Girl” and “Some Girls Don’t Cry.” Her breakout hit “Whose Tequila Are You Drinkin’” also climbed to the top of national independent charts, introducing her music to an even wider audience.

Her momentum earned her recognition across the Texas music industry. In 2024, she was named Emerging Artist of the Year by the Texas Country Music Association. She followed that honor by winning Female Vocalist of the Year and Artist of the Year at the Texas Internet Radio Charts Awards, while her band was crowned Texas Country Music Showdown Winners.

Jones released her debut full-length album, Some Girls Don’t Cry, in 2024 and is preparing for the release of her sophomore album Turquoise & Silver on Oct. 17. Her latest single, “Flame,” marked her fourth consecutive No. 1 on Texas Regional Radio, solidifying her as a rising star to watch.

Beyond Texas, Jones has earned national attention and will appear this fall as a finalist on The Road, a new CBS/Paramount+ music competition created by Taylor Sheridan and Blake Shelton.

For local fans, her Calvert performance offers a chance to see the rising star in an intimate setting before her career expands onto even bigger stages.
