One Liner: Classic honky tonk country from a local fella
Poster Position: 5 (25)
Weekend One Only.
Sunday at Noon.
Thoughts: His website claims that he is a True-Blue Honky Tonk experience and is the "byproduct of the hard livin' and touring across America the past 7-8 years." I wonder when you lose the "g" on a word when you are attempting to appear authentic about your country-ness. Like, why not saying "livin' and tourin'" there? Are two dropped "g"s too much to appear authentic? Is there a limit in the Redneck Style Guide? I wish I knew.
Every picture I see of him looks like he is on the stage at the White Horse, so I am going to surmise that he is from Austin. he says his mom was a vocalist ion the Alabama Muscle Shoals scene, and that his dad was part of the "Country Dance hall super group The Western Express." In college, he started getting some good opening gigs from things like Whiskey Myers and Cody Johnson. He also claims a lot of authenticity, saying: "If you have an easy way in, it was bought. There are a ton of “bands” that fake it. They are a part of the machine, and the real road dogs and musicians that have put in the windshield hours, and eaten the shit sandwich can sniff them out like a hound smells a sour pig." Very colorful. And yes, I just read that he is actually based in Austin.
Also random, he has been featured on the Joe Rogan Experience multiple times. Which immediately makes me think he must be a nutter. But it sounds like it was more innocent, that Rogan and his crew of suckups saw a show at the White Horse during the ice storm, and Rogan dug what he saw.
One album - 2022's Piss-Hot Freightlining Country Music - which is quite a title. Top track on there is "Roller Coaster" with 318k streams.
