Snorty Horse Saloon

I know last week’s newsletter was really too long, so I’ll make up the difference on this one and keep it short. 
We did have enough teams for our Cowboy Toy Ropin’ on last Thursday to be able to give the buckle away next month. We will take the two high money winners and do a shootout on one of our bigger nights inbetween sets. Should be a good time and “no pressure” to the ropers.
Ray Wylie Hubbard was stellar!!! It was a truly great night music and story tellin’. Rainman, our accountant, got a bunch of sailor hats and wrote snake farm on them. Ray and Gurf were wearing them by the end of the night. Hope some of you took some pictures. Please send me some if you did.

I bet a lot of you a reading this wondering if we got kicked out or cut off of the chili cook off. Nope… but I sure as hell don’t remember much of it. From noon Saturday to …well; I guess Sunday afternoon was pretty much a blur. It was for everybody else too. It was a damn good time as always and I think it helped tremendously for some upcoming shows. Don’t think we won anything, but people really seemed to like us and our chili.

This week’s shows….

WED. FEB. 21st: ALLEN ROSS and “The Not So Special Drink Special” $1 yard beers and $3 Juger shots. Did you hear that??? $1 yard beers!!! Oh yea, we got to make a new Stag pyramid because we trashed it at the cook off.

THURS. FEB. 22nd: CODY WALKER and whoever else comes with him. I suspect COLE PORTER will be back. He’s always a crowd pleaser. Keystone pyramid night. Remember also that this is Whiskey night! $2 well whiskey and $1 off every other kind of whiskey.
It will be either $2 or $3 bucks to get in. I can’t remember what Cody and I agreed on.

FRI. FEB. 23rd: The MARK CHAPMAN BAND!!! We will be packed!!! Mark played at the cook off and talked us up a bunch, so we ought to have a great time. Look for good thing to come for these guys, although I hope they will always be a Snorty Horse fixture. They are playing at our St. Patrick’s Day party next month by the way. Tickets are $7.

SAT. FEB. 24th: The MIKE McCLURE BAND with The JOSH DAVIS BAND!!! McClure has often been described as the founder of Red Dirt and is considered a god father of this scene. Not only do his talents include songwriting and performing, but recording and producing albums. You guys know that Renegade Rail CD I’ve been playing a lot…McClure produced that. He also has a brand new CD out called FOAM. Get online and buy it now. It’s awesome. Laura left it here last time she was here and she can’t have it back. McClure doesn’t get out and play near as much as he used to just because he is so busy producing, so this a rare chance to see him live. That and he has that big orange amp that will melt you face off if you stand too close to it.
Got JOSH DAVIS opening. We really like these guys and it’s the fourth time that they have played here. It’s also a perfect band to pair up with McClure and their excited about being able to perform with him. You guys are going to love this show. Tickets are $8.

Take a look at some of the March lineup.

SARAH HUGHES on Mar. 1st

JOHN EVANS BAND on Mar. 2nd

BASTARD SONS of JOHNNY CASH with BO PHILLIPS on Mar. 3rd

JOHN D. HALE BAND with CHARLIE HORSE. This will be a very special night. $2 of each ticket sale will be donated to the American Cancer Society and a pink guitar will be auctioned off and will have many of the artist that play here signatures on it including Jason Boland and Ray Wylie Hubbard. You can buy your tickets in advance on line.

BACK PORCH MARY on Mar. 10th.
