A big Texas welcome to NWTF's Gobblers and Guitars: Texas Edition Film Series

Let’s give a big ole’ Texas welcome to Nashville’s Jordan Rowe, Whitney Duncan and Jenna LaMaster as they visit our great State to harvest birds and share a little music along the way.

“Featuring Texas in this film series means a lot to all our local chapters, volunteers and members right across the State,” says Tony Hawley, NWTF Texas State Chapter President. “It’ll go a long way in helping us get more people involved in the NWTF mission and the hunting experience here.”

Country music, Rio Grande turkeys, first-time turkey hunters and new hunting adventures are the heart of the upcoming “Gobblers and Guitars: Texas Edition” digital video series from the National Wild Turkey Federation, Winchester Repeating Arms, Shine United and HuntStand. 

Set to kick off the week of July 3, the three-part series will follow Nashville singer and songwriters Jordan Rowe, Whitney Duncan and Jenna LaMaster as they hit Mason, Texas, to chase Hill Country turkeys and share in the camaraderie of the outdoors.

The avenue into the outdoor lifestyle is never a set path, and the same holds true for the musicians featured in “Gobblers and Guitars.”

Rowe, grew up hunting, while this was the first turkey hunt for Duncan and the first-ever hunt for LaMaster. Rowe, a south Georgia-native, grew up playing music and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle. He studied agribusiness at the University of Georgia and traveled back and forth to Nashville to intern at River House Artists and write music with the likes of Ray Fulcher, Thomas Archer and Cole Taylor. In 2019, Rowe moved to Nashville. His debut album “Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy” released in the summer of 2021 garnered acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, CMT and more. Rowe has toured with Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Cole Swindell, Riley Green, Chris Janson and more. Learn more at www.jordanroweofficial.com.

While in high school, she signed a record contract and released a duet with Kenny Rogers titled “My World is Over.” In 2007, she participated in and placed fifth in “Nashville Star.” Duncan also has appeared on the reality television shows “Survivor: South Pacific.” Her recently released EP and title track of the same name, “I’m the Fire,” can be found on all major music streaming sites.
