We've really had some good bands through the door lately. I was extremely happy with the Soulidium/Cinder Road show. Cinder Road was impressive to say the least and have a very, very successful future in front of them. They're going to make it big time one of these days; just write it down. Mike was Soulidiums lead man. He had these really weird contact lenses that made him look like a vampire or something and had these fang lookin' things. I had to take a double take the first time I met him and wasn't sure what to think. A few jugar bombs later, Jake and I were teaching him how to blow fire. He turned out to be a great guy and loved our venue as did the rest of the band. Simon Nytes was there with the radio station. He's a crazy sombitch. Be looking for pictures on our myspace page. There were some good ones. There was one picture that was taken that had an image of an old man in the background. Another one had an image of an Indian on the drum riser. Never really thought about this place being haunted, especially not like the old bar, but these pictures will freak you out a little.
John's show was awesome on Friday. The rain obviously kept a bunch of you away from the big concert and we were packed to the gills as a result. I was just really happy with the whole weekend.
September is upon us! That means college is back and the dog days of summer will be short lived. Business is going to be picking up even more and I believe the September Snorty Horse Calendar has the most stellar lineup that has ever been booked in a single month. Let's start with this week's lineup
WED. AUG. 29th: The ERIC TESSMER BAND!
Now I know that this is Cole, Cody, and Hutch night "With the not so special drink special." The two C's and H still might show up, I just wanted to shake it up a little bit. And yes, we will still be serving cheap drinks in a cheap can. The Eric Tessmer Band is an extremely talented blues/rock band based out of Chicago. You know that bar in Chicago that all these Texas acts are playing at called JOE'sthis band is a staple there. These guys are good and Eric is really known for his guitar playing abilities. Might throw a couple of funny guys up on stage also, people seem to like this comedy stuff. $3
THUR. AUG. 30th: COWBOY TOY ROPIN'
and it's Whiskey Night! Still going to be a $5 round robin. I like to give the pot away rather then to give away a buckle. Seems like you guys would rather have the cash anyway. Please call me if your runnin' late so I can get you entered. There is no door fee.
FRI. AUG. 31st: FAT DIXIE!!!
Fat Dixie is actually a combination of two popular bands; one from Oklahoma and one from Texas. The lead singer plays some harmonica and has got a set of pipes. They played here 2 or 3 months ago and myself and my staff loved them. Very entertaining show. They kind of remind me of a tangier version of` ARANDA who damn near won Lollapalooza and will also be here in a few weeks. They do real well in eastern Oklahoma and the Joplin area, so we expect some out of towners. $5
SAT. SEPT. 1st: HAYES CARLL and FRANK SMITH!!!
This is the one you guys have been waiting for. It's been over a year since Hayes has played here. Back then I told you he was tearing it up in Texas and now he's tearing it up everywhere including some overseas tours. He recently got picked up by Lost Highway Records who represent artist such as Ryan Adams and Willy Nelson. The new record should be out next month. Hayes has participated in almost every major music festI was going to say Texasbut this guy is literally everywhere and is probably listed on every music chart available that fits his style. Acoustic shows are what got Hayes popularity, but this show will be a full band, which is killer.
Frank Smith has done great in the North East being though they are from Boston, Mass. but have recently moved to Austin. When I say popular in the North East I mean they were selling out 1500 person room venues. I'm excited because this is a true Indy/Country band. They have also done a lot of shows with Julie Anna Hatfield and we're pretty damn lucky to have them. $12 and tix are available day of the show and table reservations are limited.
Thanks,
Steve Greene
