I live in NC and love Honky Tonk, how have I not heard of this band? Damn.
Check out the Piedmont Boys. Not very politically correct at times but a damn good band. Lots of good originals and the covers they do won’t include any Rascal Flatts, Luke Bryan or any other crap they are passing off for new country these days.
I was in Miami FL couple years ago working to import a mated pair of rescued ocelots…and their two cubs.
The Asst Dir of the Miami zoo [Madeline] took me to see Gareth and Christina Novelli in concert [Beta March 2014]
Pretty awesome trance.
