On this episode of Side Tracks country-rock artist Paul Cauthen joins Daily Interlake reporter Taylor Inman ahead of his upcoming show at the Majestic Arena in Kalispell, offering a candid look at life on and off the road.
Speaking from a motorcycle trip through Big Bend National Park, Cauthen reflects on turning 40, preparing to become a father and the momentum behind his latest album Black on Black, released April 3.
He breaks down the creative process behind the record, from years of songwriting and collaboration to staying grounded in his Texas roots while refusing to be boxed into a single genre.
The conversation also dives into his connection to Montana, his relationship with fans and the evolving sound that blends country, rock and beyond.
Cauthen shares how his upbringing in gospel music shaped his artistry, why authenticity matters more than radio play and what audiences can expect when he hits the stage in the Flathead Valley.
