Music Picks for Tuesday, Nov 9

Tonight is the night for Honky Tonkin! We have a great show for you tonight - see below!

Jason Boland & The Stragglers w/ Corb Lund & the Hurtin Albertans - Berkeley Cafe (Country/Roots/Rock)
One of the Current Stars in the the Texas Country/Western scene, Jason Boland and crew are well-known for their agressive musical style - mixing in rousing covers with their own stuff to get the crowd up - and keeps them up for the entire set. This is one of the better bands on the scene right now - Jason has surrounded himself with excellent talent and his smooth vocals balance out the edge - altogether a great rousing set of texas style country/western...

To contrast this, we have the 7 time Canadian Country artist award winner - Corb Lund & The Hurtin Albertans - their style of soothing, slow-down country/roots are full of balads as well as tales of life and things not gone quite right... They are also able to draw on their celtic roots - as evidenced in their song I want to be in the calvary. This is a classic example of a crossover balad in the Country/Roots/Celtic mix - and it is masterfully done by these guys....

This promises to be a great night of Country/Western - if you have any interest in this style of music - this show is not to be missed!
