Snorty Horse Saloon

I got to go to the BEST in 417 party on Sunday.  It’s a big event that area business are actually voted on in different categories to be invited to have a booth.  We didn’t win anything, but Budweiser did!  Yup…free beer!  I thought $25 was too expensive to get in until that little detail use revealed to me.  All the free beer, wine, and food you could eat.  I do think they should have the best of 417 tattoo parlor.  Ask the boys from Scorpion Choppers in Nixa.  They are all gettin’ Snorty Horse tats.  Be lookin’ for some type of weekly bike event as soon as it warms up a little. 
Looks like the Radio show is goin’ pretty good also.  There were a few things I didn’t like in the beginning, but the bugs are getting worked out and I think it’s going to be fine.  Boland got interviewed last week which made me feel a lot better.  It’s on from 10:00 P.M. to midnight every Saturday and I think you may get it online or from a pod cast also off the 100.5thewolf website.  Let me know what you guys think of the show.  Your input on this is important to me rather its positive or negative feedback.

Got some really good shows lined up for you this weekend.

WED. FEB. 28th:  ALLEN ROSS.  Have you girls had those ORANGE MO FO’s that Jake makes; or those BAD ASS TRUCKERS.  These are two drinks that were developed here at the Snorty Horse and will be included in on the “Not so special drink special” which also includes $1 Yard beers and $3 Jagur shots.

THUR. MAR. 1st:  SARAH HUGHES!  Sarah has been a staple for the live music industry in Northwest Arkansas for years.  She has won numerous awards for her songwriting and performing abilities and we’re lucky to have her included in this week’s lineup.  She was honored by the Northwest Arkansas Music Awards in 2005 and ’06 as “female vocalist of the year”, “06 songwriter of the year” and “album of the year” and was also the songwriter of the year at the Ozark Music Awards in ’04. 
All this and she plays at Georges Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, AR all the time which is one of my all time favorite bars. 

FRI. MAR. 2nd:  The JOHN EVANS BAND with KRIS KANATZER.  Off of John’s website, you can click on a particular date and a short description of the show appears.  For the Snorty Horse date it says “Katy Bar the Door!!!”  That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell.  John has made a lot of friends and fans in this part of the world and it’s going to be a good night.  That and it’s going to be CRAZY!!!
Kris Kanatzer is a young guy from MSU that has turned some heads recently.  He was referred to me by Michael Brothers who writes the entertainment stuff in the Springfield paper.  Evidently Kris is in a CMT contest called Music City Madness and is kickin’ some ass.  He has never been to this bar before and before I booked this show, I kind of quizzed him over the phone.  My first question was “what kind of music influences him”… just ‘cause I didn’t want a Chesney wan a be at the horse.  I could tell he kind of was stepping around the question basically tryin’ to find the answer that I wanted.  I then said “Come on man…what kind of stuff do you like?”  That was when he told me he was a metal head at heart and that is when I told him he had a gig.

SAT. MAR. 3rd:  BASTARD SONS of JOHNNY CASH with BO PHILLIPS!!!  Mark Stuart is the founder and lead man of the BSoJC and many of you might remember the Christmas acoustic show that Mark performed.  It was awesome!  The BSoJC are probably better known in Europe.  They have been on tour there before and are fixin’ to go again.  You might pick up their live DVD that was filmed somewhere over there last year.  It’s good stuff.  Their new CD is also sellin’ like crazy.  Remember that this is an original band and not a Johnny Cash cover band although you may here some JC songs.  Mark was told by Johnny Cash himself on his deathbed to use his name for Stuart’s band.  This is also a more traditional old school country band compared to a lot of the stuff that I book.  It’s also one of the only international touring acts that will come through the Snorty Horse doors. 
 BO PHILLIPS is supporting the show.  Many of you may also know Bo as Stoney Larue’s brother.  This guy can sing, and he’s a crowd pleaser and he’s got a full band now.  I think it will be fiddle, bass, and drums and Bo on guitar.  He plays at a bar in Stillwater every week and there’s always a line.  Good things are happening to this guy!
