(Seguin) -- Texas Country Music Entertainer of the Year Nominee Jesse Raub, Jr. will be headlining this year’s KWED Freedom Fiesta at Seguin’s Central Park. Raub will hit the downtown stage on Saturday.

Raub has seen 12 of his recordings chart in the top 50 of the Texas Music Chart and the Texas Radio Report. The long list includes: “Blame It on the Music”, “Bad Intentions”, “Good Man Go Wrong”, “Plead the Fifth”, “She Can Forgive”, 2017’s #1 “She’ll Put the Hurt on You”, 2018 #1’s “Mistakes” and “Sittin’ Here”, 2019 #1 “Touch the Water”, 2020 #1 singles “Good Times” and “I’d Look Good on You” and 2022 #1 “Working Man’s Woman.”

When it comes to songwriting, Raub takes a cue from a fellow songwriter.

“One of my friends Jim Collins told me ‘Jesse, good songs are written, great songs are rewritten.’ And man, I’ve always taken that to heart,” Raub said when talking about the advice from his songwriter confidant.
