Dallas Wayne is a singer, songwriter, radio DJ, voice-over artist, actor
and music producer. He considers himself lucky to make a living doing
things he loves. Some might say it has more to do with talent than luck.
He has performed throughout North America and Europe, releasing 13
albums of his own, and performing on various compilation and band
recordings including the TwangBangers, Heybale! and a Grammy
nominated bluegrass album with Special Consensus.
Dallas released his latest album Coldwater, Tennessee on the
BFD/Audium Nashville label in 2022. Produced by Buddy Cannon, this
album of original tunes includes several co-writes with long-time collaborator Robbie Fulks,
and one written with Buddy Cannon and Whisperin’ Bill Anderson — two of Dallas’
songwriting heroes.
Dallas began performing professionally while in school before moving to Nashville, where he
started songwriting and developed his vocal style singing demos for the top music
publishing houses. While touring Europe in the early 90s, he signed a record deal and soon
moved to Scandinavia where he was a staff songwriter for Warner/Chappell Music.
After four years living and touring in Europe, Dallas returned to the U.S. and signed with
HighTone Records. He later relocated to Austin, TX, releasing albums on the Koch Nashville
and Smith Entertainment labels. In 2016 and 2018 he released a popular collection of
classic country songs on two albums, Songs The Jukebox Taught Me, Volume 1 and
Volume 2, on Heart of Texas Records. This collection includes duets with Willie Nelson,
Jeannie Seely, Darrell and Mona McCall, and Paula Nelson.
Dallas currently lives in Bristol TN/VA, the Birthplace of Country Music.
On the Air
Dallas can be heard on SIRIUS XM Radio: Weekdays from noon to 6
p.m. Eastern at Willie’s Roadhouse (channel 61), Tuesday through
Friday in Outlaw Country (channel 62) from 10 a.m. to noon, and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon at Willie's Roadhouse.
He got his start in radio in 1989, drawing on his many years as a
performer. Dallas solidified his radio career when he joined Outlaw
Country on SIRIUS in 2005. A year later he accepted a position at
KHYI 95.3 FM in Dallas where he served as Program Director and
morning drive-time DJ until the end of 2007.
After the merger of SIRIUS and XM in 2008, Dallas became On-Air Personality and
Associate Format Manager for the Texas-based honky-tonk channel Willie’s Place, which
later became Willie’s Roadhouse.
