November Shows

November’s Americana Revue at The Station and our gig at Tir Na Nog with Carolina Still and Hearts And Daggers both ranked hot and heavy in the Top 5 of my favorite shows of this year.  We’re on fire, folks!  Many thanks to Alexia Phillips, Jackson McGee and Jeremy Gilchrist for these amazing shots:

Git Some!

 

You know what you need? You need to be buffeted by waves of rockabilly and crooned at til your toes curl. Uh-huh. You know the band that fits this description… THE SWANG BROTHERS. And my boys and I have the immense satisfaction of featuring these smashing blokes at our monthly Americana Revue on Thursday, November 8th at The Station in Carrboro.  There’s no cover but tipping is definitely encouraged. Hell. I’ll even let you tuck some cash in my damn cowboy boots if yer scared of tip jars. What say 10 o’clock?

 

If there’s absolutely positively no way you can make it out to Carrboro on the 8th, chances are good you’ll be free the next night (Friday the 9th!) and just happen to be in downtown Raleigh. Drinking your face off. At Tir Na Nog. Did I mention The Harvest Hoedown? Sarah Shook & the Devil, Hearts & Daggers and Carolina Still? No? Well, shoot. A mere $5 for all the honky tonkin’, trouble makin’ and shenanigans you can take.

No excuses. I wanna see yer face.

Philosophy

Country music is undeniably American.  It was born at a time in this nation when folks were poor, work was tough and hope was hard to come by.  Thus it comes as no surprise to me that true blue, real deal country is making a comeback.

We do country the way country was intended.  The way Hank Williams, Roger Miller, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Johnny Horton did it.  That watered down swill they play on the radio station?  Ain’t nothin’ country about it.  Listening to that shit is like drinking a pint of water with a teaspoon of cheap whiskey in it.  And it’s about as effective.

Like true country music, that genuine, heartfelt, hard times, true grit, tough-as-nails America is still alive and well.  You can bet yer boots.
