This Friday August 6th at the Honky Tonk Happy Hour, Miller Kelton and Billy Zenn will present two hours of fine entertainment for your boot-scootin’ pleasure. So belly up to the bar at The Shrunken Head for some raucously original neo-traditional country music --- and you may even win a homemade pie in the weekly raffle, hosted by the lovely Miss Margot. As a special treat this week, Jamie Lyn is disobeying doctor’s orders to rest, and sitting in with both Miller-Kelton and Billy Zenn. Come prepared to hear some rowdy renditions of “Jackson” and “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”.
Miller-Kelton kicks the show off at 6:00pm, with Julia O'Keefe on vocals, Reilley Forman on Guitar and Banjo, Charlie Forman on slide guitar, Randal Webber, II on drums and keys and Chase Hurlow on bass. The Other Paper’s Rick Allen says “The band plays a pleasant blend of banjo-led Americana wrapped around the honey-sweet vocals of Julia O’Keefe…Keep your ears peeled, however, and you’ll realize the band uses that sort of inoffensive musical language to convey much more mature lyrical themes.” Not only that, but they do a hell of a good cover of “Up Against the Wall Redneck Mothers”, which is no mean feat in and of itself.
With a voice as strong as his experience is deep, and songs that resonate across time and place, Billy Zenn is a performer who means what he says, and delivers it every time. Steadfastly clinging to his roots in the rich, dark soul of America, Billy kicks the tried and true into the 21st century and brings it back home, fresh and new. With his killer band---Billy Zenn & The Ringers---the effect is the same; an infectious, foot stompin’, true heart rave up that’s guaranteed to go for the throat and shake audiences to their feet. If you’re looking for the real thing, look no further—and get there at 7pm sharp when Billy brings it all home to you right here at the Honky Tonk Happy Hour.
