BigStar97.com is a great radio station that is a huge supporter our flavor of music and more importantly helps out others. Every year they do a Toys for Tots benefit in the winter time. But now it’s spring and time for their annual Memorial Day Jam and Benefit Concert. It’s an all day event on Sunday May 27th at Filthy McNasty’s in the Fort Worth Stockyards! The event is great fun and probably the best way to spend your Sunday afternoon and evening….who has work on Monday anyway??? There are some very talented artists doing acoustic song swaps all day long and the bands kick off at 10PM. Tom will be playing acoustic during the 3:00 – 4:30 timeslot swapping songs with Phil Hamilton. Phil’s latest single “Bad” has jumped up in the Top 5 on the Texas Music Charts. Congrats Phil!

Come by Filthy McNasty’s in the Stockyards on Sunday May 27th and enjoy a great time for a great cause!

Larry Joe Taylor Festival

Have you ever been to the Larry Joe Taylor Festival in Stephenville? It’s about the biggest thing you’ll find for music like ours. Its a 4 days festival with amazing musicians and bands and an even better (and very enthusiastic and possibly well hydrated) crowd! We were lucky enough to get to play it this year! We kicked off the Bud Light stage on Wednesday evening. We got to share the stage with Johnny Cooper, Cory Morrow, The Great Divide, Kevin Fowler and Josh Abbott. Festivals are good times and this was a really special time for us. Thanks for having us out LJT folks. It was a first class event!

Great times in Fort Worth recently. We competed against some great bands in 95.3 KHYI The Range’s “Texas Music Showdown.” It came down to three great bands (Left Arm Tan, and The Rodeo Clown Dropouts and us of course) and we were lucky enough to walk away the WINNERS! Very exciting! A huge thank you to Brett Dillon from KYHI and all the KHYI staff! Thanks also to The White Elephant Saloon in Fort Worth for hosting the 9 week event and all of the celebrity judges that took part in the action!! We feel honored to have taken home the win!!! WOOHOO!

Hey Folks!

What a bizarre few months it’s been. Our website has been hacked and taken offline twice. We’re are now back up and running and trying to get everything back to normal…whatever normal is.

Anyway, we have exciting news!! We’re playing NEW YEAR’S EVE in Dallas, TX at Adair’s Saloon with our good buddies Southern Drive. It’s going to be a raucous time, so bring your big boy (and girl) pants! Not only is the event FREE to get in, it will be FREE of uber Dallas cheesiness as well! I’M SOLD!!! So grab your best honky-tonkin’ New Year’s eve outfit, bedazzle if you must, and grab hold of your bootstraps and hold on!!! The music starts at 9:30 and will be rocking till 2AM. And don’t forget the very special complementary Boone’s Farm “Strawberry Hill” midnight toast…out of the ever-classy Dixie Cup! Now that is how you celebrate NEW YEARS! Hope you can join us for ringing in 2012!!

In the meantime, we’ll keep getting the site finalized and re-done. Sorry for any confusion. I don’t know why someone wants to hack this website, other than to be annyoning, and if that’s the case, well, congrats. You succeeded. Thanks again for your support everyone! See you New Years Eve!!
