Jamie Lyn & the Honky Tonk Happy Hour at The Shrunken Head are pleased to announce special guests at the December 3rd show: Broken Ring will play at 7pm, with The Tin Hearts kicking things off at 6pm.
The Tin Hearts are one of the inaugural Honky Tonk Happy Hour bands, having played three happy hours in the first year of the project at The Shrunken Head. Hot on the heels of releasing “No Good Deed”, which pulls out all the stops, capturing the high‐energy, driving sound that is the hallmark of their live performances with tracks like “Desert King ” and “It’s Been A Good Year“. The Tin Hearts, a five‐ piece electric blues band led by Matt Sullivan (guitar, harmonica, and vocals) also feature the intricate guitar work of Andy Frederick and Ryan Combs’ strident bass. Angela Sutton (keyboards) reels from sensitively rendered melodies to rollicking barrelhouse stomp, with Mark Sims moves it all forward on drums.
Broken Ring is an Athens-based alt country/Americana band with a spirited female lead. Drawing on raw and sassy originals with a bucketful of vintage and contemporary tunes, Colleen Carow (rhythm guitar), Jeff Redefer (guitar), Bill Rawlins (percussion), and Steve Phalen (new on bass) approach each song with thoughtful reverence. It’s fine fodder for this fatback, toe-tapping throwdown – lovingly complicated by the brooding elixir of a searching songbird. Recent press comments include: "This is one fun band that's worth checking out. Expect some swinging originals and twangy covers from one of the best groups we've heard from Athens in quite some time." -- Jackie Welker, Court Street Grill and “Colleen Carow is a mix of Norah Jones and KT Tunstall. Her soft vocals seem to float over her music, creating laid-back folk. It is easy to tell from her lyrics that she has a master's degree in poetry. Light, but at times bluesy, Carow introduces folk to its sultry side." -- The Athens Post, "Listen Locally”.
As always, we’ll be raffling off one of Jamie Lyn’s homemade pies every happy hour, and the Shrunken Head offers the Honky Tonk Special: a Budweiser and a shot of Jim Beam for $5.
