Not responsible for lost wives, lost panties, or lost teeth.

Your mom's favorite band. Got a venue that needs its reputation ruined?

Bring cash for the tip jar and a designated driver. We are not driving your drunk ass home, Brenda. Designated drivers drink free. Just kidding, they drink water, the losers. Leave the kids with grandma. She's coming out too, though.

The sound

Golden age country, served warm, flat, and a little hungover.

We play the real stuff. The records that came out of jukeboxes in bars with sawdust on the floor, a lady named Darlene on her fourth husband, and a fistfight in the parking lot by 11.

No bro country. No songs about tailgates or sippin' on Fireball. If there's no steel guitar crying in it, we don't know it, and we are not learning it for your cousin's wedding. Unless he pays. Then we'll learn anything.

We run our own sound, so all you gotta do is pour. Heavy.

  • Merle Haggard Sang about prison because he'd been there
  • Waylon Jennings Did more cocaine than your whole county
  • Willie Nelson Smoked weed on the White House roof. Look it up.
  • Loretta Lynn Would kick your ass
  • George Jones Drove a mower to the bar
  • Hank Williams Pills, whiskey, and heartbreak. Our role model.

House rules.

  1. Requests go in the tip jar. A five gets you a song. A twenty gets you a song and our respect.
  2. We will not play Wagon Wheel. Ask again and we play it for 45 minutes straight.
  3. Dance like your ex is watching. They are. They're with someone worse.
  4. Cry during a George Jones song and the next round's on the drummer.
  5. Line dancing requires a minimum of four drinks and a signed waiver.
  6. Hitting on the band is encouraged. Hitting the band is a misdemeanor.
  7. If you lose your panties on the dance floor, we're keeping them for the merch table.
  8. The bathroom is not a VIP room. Get a motel.
  9. Married folks may only dance with someone else's spouse after 10 PM.
  10. Anyone caught line dancing sober will be asked to leave.
  11. If you throw your bra, throw a twenty with it.
  12. Slow songs are for grinding, not for texting your ex.

The tip jar

Feed the band.

It's fake money. We still appreciate it more than your applause.

Go on. Nobody's watching.
