One of country music’s fastest rising stars lives right here in the Heart of Oklahoma.

Logan McCaskill is a 2010 graduate of Norman High School, but lived in and went to school in Purcell until his freshman year when his mother opened a business in Norman.

Known in the music industry as Logan Mac, he has a construction business in Purcell and lives in the Washington School District.

He and his wife, Sierra, have three daughters, ages 10, six and five who attend Washington Schools.

2026 is shaping up to be quite a year for Mac with continued live performances alongside Radney Foster and Kelly Willis, a coveted spot at the Born & Raised Music Festival in the fall and a performance on the weekly PBS music series Songs at the Center.

One of the biggest opportunities for Mac is a recent invitation to be on the WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour on July 20.

In the off chance you are unfamiliar with WoodSongs, it is a longtime, highly respected radio show filmed in front of a studio audience in Lexington, KY.

It is syndicated to over 500 radio stations nationwide and hits 90 million households. The show is also carried on RFDTV and Armed Forces radio.

Among notables who have been on the show include Brandi Carlile, Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris, Kenny Logins and Bela Fleck.

Mac played at the Blue Door in Oklahoma City last Saturday night.

Mac has five million streams on Spotify, Pandora and Apple Music with 205 million listeners, which is more than Steven Wilson Jr. who is a big artist right now. He also has 500,000 million streams off Pandora.

The Purcell resident posted a video of “Dance Under Stars”  that hit nearly two million views on TikTok.

His debut full-length album “Til The Ground” came out on April 10 and garnered half a million streams in its first month.

He has 8.2 million lifetime streams on TikTok. His Pandora listeners are over 200,000. (Higher than Tyler Halverson and Stephen Wilson) He has 1.4 million lifetime streams on Pandora. 

The live album of that will be released two weeks later.  Logan will also release another full-length album in the fall.

That’s two studio albums in a single year.

“I was playing in Nashville in 2010 and 2011 and moved back home to work in the oil field,” Mac told The Purcell Register.

“I thought I’d better focus on a career rather than  try to make it as a broke musician at 19 and 20 years old,” he joked.

After a time in the oil field Mac started  Ace Construction and Excavation based out of Purcell in 2019.

Mac says his first album “Til The Ground” was just a culmination going back about his Dad’s sudden death in 2022.

“It was just about who I am, the hurdles I’d been through,” Mac continued. “I got to tell some love stories, some sad stories and some funny stories. The album just kinda’ came together like a book, a flash back of my life.”

Mac’s relationship with Radney started by happenstance in a studio in Nashville.

“I’d always been a fan of his and studied his song writing,” Mac said. “We were at a recording studio  when he happened to walk in and hear me.

“We sat down and shared songs. Then we wrote some songs and he asked me to go on tour,” Mac said.

They tour all over Texas and all the way to Columbus, OH.

Logan’s full episode of “Live At The Print Shop” will air on the show’s YouTube page starting today June 25 at 8 p.m. central time.

Mac had a really surreal experience while recording with Adam Blank at his studio in Atlanta “Live at the Print Shop.”

“It was a really cool experience,” Mac said. “It was like walking into a movie. One minute I’m hitting a golf shot to raise $10,000 for charity and the next I’m talking with Chipper Jones on the phone. It was a shock for me being a Braves fan all my life.”

“It will be my first live album, he continued. “We’re going to drop one song a week starting July 10 and drop one song a week for eight weeks. After eight weeks we’ll drop the other three that we recorded,” he said.

Mac’s schedule is jammed packed.

July 4 he will be opening for Cody Canada at Reaves Park in Norman for the 250th American Fourth of July Celebration.

September 17 he will be opening for Justin Moore and Tracy Lawrence.

September 19 he will be playing in Wembley Stadium for the first college football game of the season when Kansas squares off with Arizona State.

October 3 he will open for Little Texas at The Heart of Oklahoma Music Festival.

“Dance Under Stars” is a tribute to Mac’s father who passed away unexpectedly in 2022, just weeks after telling Mac he should return to song writing.

It’s a rubbed-raw commemorative piece of all the best advice his father handed down to him over the years, a commonsense wisdom that resonates quite clearly with every human being.

This summer, Mac will also release his new single “Add It To The List,” before returning to the studio to record his second full-length album.

It’s a lot of moving in a lot of directions, but at the end of the day, Logan Mac isn’t chasing a version of success defined by the industry.

He’s already found his.

If the songs reach people, that’s a bonus. If they don’t, he’ll still be writing them—because for him, the story is the point.
