After years spent as a Television Sports Anchor in Odessa, TX; Laredo, TX
and Santa Barbara, CA, Rafael returned to pursue a career off camera in
Seguin and follow his passion for music. With influences such as Merle
Haggard, Buck Owens, and Johnny Cash, it's easy to see why his brand of
songwriting takes you back to the Texas Dance Hall days but still has a little
bit of an "hon'ry" side to it.
