Not long ago, I had the pleasure of sitting in for a Sunday afternoon gig at the flea market in Northampton as a trio with steel guitarist Rose Sinclair and guitarist Lyon Graulty, doing Western Swing ala Bob Wills. That is, as the above logo may indicate, some of my favorite music ever.
Now Rose and Lyon have gone on (sans the busily blogging Ten Gallon Liberal) to create a full-on Western Swing band, which you can check out tonight at 8 p.m. at Mike and Tony’s Pizzeria in Colrain. The world can always do with more of those, and Rose and Lyon are both extremely good players, well worth listening to.
The coolest bit, however, is the name of their group: Ten Gallon Swing. (I’m secretly hoping they are therefore willing to become the house band here at the Ten Gallon Liberal blog. I’ll let you know.)
