inspired Texas lunacy
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Adv tix: $17.50 5 pm or 8 pm

Our favorite Texans are back with their spiffy vocal harmonies, polished steel guitar licks, and breathtaking instrumentals, laced with twisted, just-a-hair-short-of-traditional lyrics. With Conrad Deisler and Hank Card on guitar, Tom Pittman on banjo and steel guitar, Boo Resnick on bass, and Iamon McCloughlin on mandolin and fiddle, the group's sound and sensibility is part bluegrass, part country, part Cajun, and pure irreverence. Their 2000 release, Never an Adult Moment (Sugar Hill), offers such classic lizardiana as "Eighty Hillbillies in a Haunted House" and the possibly autobiographical "I'm Forty Years Old and I'm Livin' in my Mom's Garage."
