Here are in 2020, the return of the Honky Tonk!<\/p>\n<p>Halfcocked and Lonesome\u2026We started in 2015 when Andrew bought a pedal steel guitar and found that a local Ottawa bar wanted a honky tonk house band. So we pulled together some country loving friends and started a band. A few friends have come and gone from the band but we\u2019ve kept the tunes rolling. We\u2019ll always play some golden classics and a few new country tunes, but focus on what XM Satellite Radio calls \u201cPrime Country\u201d. The epic era from the late 80\u2019s to early 2000\u2019s of George Strait, Brooks &amp; Dunn, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, John Michael Montgomery, etc. These artists put honky tonk back into country music in a way not heard since the Bakersfield days of the 60\u2019s or the Outlaws of the 70\u2019s. It\u2019s when cowboy hats, pedal steel guitars, and swinging shuffles became cool again. So expect raw, twangy honky tonk that you can dance to or just tap your feet and drink to. Your call. Check out our website to see our upcoming shows, meet the band, and dig through our instagram feed for pictures and video clips of what to expect.
