Snorty Horse Saloon

Got several phone calls from you guys expectin to see the power ranger on Saturday. Truth is that it wouldnt pass inspection because there was nothing stout enough to weld a seat to let alone a seat belt. This thing is a royal piece of shit. Were going to hold on to it for next year and have all the welding done to do the tough truck thing next year. Those 4 wheel drive guys were great. Jake and I joined in doing burnouts out in the parking lot. Those guys loved Phil Pritchett. Good show and I got a chance to hang out with those guys some more after the bar closed.
Good weekend. Leon and Cory Morrow was great. Cory did a full band acoustic show that blew everyone away. I think they should really do that stuff more often.

This week:

WED. MAY 9th: OPEN MIC/ SONGWRITTER SWAP! Yup, I think its time to start doing this again. I have had several requests for open mic for a long time. We used to do it at the old bar and it worked out great. Thats how I found Cole, Cody, Jared Hicks, Derrick Tiller and several others. If you want to play, just come on with your guitar or whatever else you may play. Please dont make things to complicated cause Im running sound and I pretty much suck at it. We do have house sound, mics, monitors, etc. and feel free to call me with any questions. Depending on how many musicians show up will depend on how long you get to play. The catch in all this is to bring as many drinkin buddies, friends, family, whatever it takes to get bodies in the door to earn yourself a weekly gig or an opening slot for a bigger act. ANYTHING GOESwhich means you do what you want to do as long as no genitals are exposed. TranslationNo one is going to tell you what to play unless someone from the audience is shouting out request, and if that happens, make them tip you. It can be as fun as you guys or gals want to make it. Might even talk Kenny Deforest into bringin out his comedy routine. Dont WorryWe are still going to have the Not So Special Drink Special. Expect us to have Open Mic/Songwriter Swap the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month.

THUR. MAY 10th: The RANDY ROGERS BAND with RED DIRT UNDERGROUND!!! Look how good and how far the Randy Rogers Band has gone in the last year and a half. This will be one of the shows that were lucky to get every once in awhile. These guys are all over the radio/ except in Springfield, MO, all over CMT and GAC, have won numerous awards with their new album Just a Matter of time which was their 5th album. This is one of the bands that defines the Snorty Horse Saloon. Dont miss this one!!! I dont know how much longer Ill be able to afford them!
Brian Lumley and RED DIRT UNDERGROUND will be opening. When Brians not playing somewhere, hes at the Snorty Horse. He loves it here and he knows everybody and has a great little three piece band that does pretty much anything you want to hear with some really good originals. Its going to be a good night!!!
You can buy tickets online for this one for $12.

FRI. MAY 11th: The SHOTGUN BROTHERS: Going to change things up a bit again with a cool bluegrass band on speed. Shotgun Brothers is what happens when a traditional bluegrass band meets the Grateful Dead. Im as curious as you guys are on this one and Im definitely looking foreword to it. I met Pik, their lead guy at the Brandon Jenkins show. He loved the bar and became an instant Jenkins fan also. Tix are $5.

SAT. MAY 12th: FULL THROTTLE is finally back with JACKSON PARTON!!! Full Throttle is one of those that you just got to see. They are a three piece heavy blues band that will blow the roof off of this place. They are some of the most talented group of musicians who have walked through the door. I just think their great. They have been on tour with Ragweed and are a good fit with those guys just cause they are so fast paced and energetic. The last time they played at our old bar was maybe the most fun I had had out there. There was a private birthday party with some really fun people that eventually got out of hand in a good kind of way. You guys will have to look up one of my old diary pages on that night. The party eventually moved to my house after the bar closed and it really got out of hand. Trust meI will write a book someday. Tix are $7.

Remember, tickets are also available for STONEY LARUE with The BEN MILLER BAND on May 17th

JASON BOLAND on June 1st

Tickets will soon be available for ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL on June 8th and BIG SMITH on June 22nd.
