If you know the Hodag Festival, you know the tradition of proclaiming your inaugural year here by wearing a Hodag Virgin plate. If you're an artist on the road, this all may be new to you.
Aaron Watson just got clued into the whole tradition when he met our Stef. “I just heard about it, just a while ago,” he said. Then we plated the Texan who is out supporting his new album called Red Bandana. Of the project, he said, “I wrote them (the 20 songs on the album) all by myself, so if it's terrible, it's all my fault.”

Some prep work went into making new Hodag artists abide by tradition.
