By now everyone is familiar with Jeff Foxworthy’s “you might be a redneck” jokes — some of us way too familiar.

Trae Crowder created a fresh twist on backwoods humor by branding himself the “liberal redneck.”

Although it might seem like an oxymoron at first, Crowder has racked up a following since getting his start ranting on a front porch in viral videos that featured both his bleeding heart and Southern drawl.

Since then, the Tennessee native has written a best-selling book dubbed The Liberal Redneck Manifesto, made TV appearances and is now touring the country under the WellRED banner, which includes five stand-up shows in the Alamo City.
