Whatcha doin' Friday? There's no Honky Tonk Happy Hour, so do this instead!

Singing Moon Records Presents Capitol City Electric Blues & Rock Review

On Friday, August 20th, Singing Moon records pairs up with The Shrunken Head to present Capitol City Electric Blues & Rock Review from 8pm-1am.

Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons’ live shows are high energy Americana-tumble- and-roll. Miller-Kelton brings a mixture of electric and acoustic instruments and three-part vocal harmonies to a wide range of Americana, folk-rock and traditional country music. The Tin Hearts follow, with their jangly five-piece electric blues and Americana band playing new music like old music used to be played: with raw emotion, and lots of soul. The Wells get rowdy at 11pm, with Mark Sims and Friends headlining at midnight.

Singing Moon Records is dedicated to producing and distributing a diverse collection of music created by artists committed to quality for their community and the world at large. Whether it's the music of solitude created by Mark Sims, the rambunctious folk-rock of The Wells, finely tailored acoustic and electric rock of Miller-Kelton, or bluesy Americana of The Tin Hearts, Singing Moon Records believes that what sounds good is good and invites you to take part.

With no cover, a friendly staff, and great food the Capitol City Electric Blues and Rock Review promises to be a rockin’ evening of great entertainment, good food, and good people. The Shrunken Head is located at 251 W. Fifth Avenue in Columbus, and is a full-service bar and restaurant with a patio and kitchen that features many local and organically cultivated products.

Got Labor Day? Come to the Honky Tonk Happy Hour!

If you aren’t sure what to do with your Labor Day Weekend and you’d like a chance to win a free pie and hear some great, old-school country music come to the Honky Tonk Happy Hour, at The Shrunken Head. This holiday weekend happy hour will feature Jamie Lyn & Fort Knox at 6pm, with The Idiot Boys at 7pm.

Kicking the show off, songwriter Jamie Lyn’s band Fort Knox will bring you stinging lyrics and wry humor. Jamie Lyn channels June Carter and Loretta Lynn in her own brand of neo-traditional "Deep Woods Off" country, with Fort Knox (Ryan Combs, bass; Chris Bechtol, drums; Chase Potter, lead guitar and fiddle) following wherever she leads. Brooklyn Country.com stating “Jamie Lyn infuses her honky-tonk story songs with a whole lot of humor, feeling and good-time energy”.

The Idiot Boys have been playing a number of gigs around town at the Ranch Party Roundup, and even at the Ohio State House Music series this summer. You can catch their old-time string band tunes and tap your boots to some swingin’ bluegrass music starting at 7pm on September 3rd. The Idiot Boys feature Mike Allen (Mandolin and vocals), Brian Tucker (Lead guitar & vocals), Jeff Kinder (rhythm guitar and vocals), Steve Ball (upright bass) and Joey Bishop (percussion).

The Shrunken Head is a full-service restaurant and bar located in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, offering happy hour specials daily: half price draft beers, $1 off top shelf liquor, $1 hot dogs, and $5 prime organic hamburgers.
