While Calder Allen’s Dreamers Drifters and Hiders may only be his sophomore album, the fifth-generation Texan has been surrounded by a laundry list of legendary musicians his entire life. Shortly after packing up and moving home to Austin following a semester at the University of Montana, Allen brought a fresh batch of songs to his longtime family friend Charlie Sexton for a listen. Sexton agreed to produce Allen’s first album, connecting a huge circle for the both of them.
