Countryside Ride

Howdy Friends and Neighbors,

First and foremost, we would like to say thank you for your continued support and hope that you're feeling good now that spring is coming on and the days are getting warmer. Here are some of the things we have coming up:

We still have our regular bi-monthly show at the “most ‘OKayist’ bar in Portland, the Starday Tavern. We play the Starday, the last Friday of the even months, making our next show Friday, April, 24th. We'll also be back in June, on Friday the 26th. 

If you're hoping for a Clark County show, you're in luck! On Saturday, Saturday, May 30th we'll be back  in North Clark County at The Chelatchie Prairie Store, playing their outdoor stage from 6-9pm. This show is family friendly and you can grab some drinks from the store or order up dinner from Grandma's Kitchen. Additionally, on June 13th we'll be at The Washougal Times, in Washougal, WA playing from 8-11pm. This is a great venue with a fantastic menu, drink selection and a nice dance floor. Get there early for dinner, drinks, and a seat and stay for the party!

We'll also be playing The Griffin House's Summer Concert Series, on Wednesday, June 3rd this year. This is an early show in a beautiful location overlooking the Columbia Gorge. It's also a benefit show.

Also, for anyone wondering, we will be back at the Glenwood Ketchum Kalf Rodeo, in Glenwood, WA again this year, playing in the dance hall from 5:30 until 10:30 or 11pm on Saturday, June 20th!  We've been playing the Glenwood Rodeo every year since 2006, and this in one of those events that has been unmolested by the passage of time. Come for the rodeo, stay for the party! 

Finally, we're excited to announce that we'll be playing Trout Lake Hall, in Trout Lake Washington this year on the 4th of July! What's more American than honkytonk!? We've been playing this room for almost 20 years now and the venue just keeps getting better. The Willamette Week even sang its praises in a recent article. Trout Lake is a special place and the Hall is the best sounding room we've ever played it. There's plenty of room to dance and the food is fantastic! Our very own Jessica Renee not only runs her bakery, Post Office Coffee, out of the same building, but has taken over the kitchen and menu in the Hall as well. Trout Lake is a short drive from the Portland area, and because we play 7-10, you still have plenty of time to get home. Or, make a weekend of it! Get your tickets here: Ticket Link.

Of course, we'll be adding more dates now that it's that time, so please check back for calendar updates, and, if you haven't already, follow us on social media for updates, sign up for our mailing list, and look out for honky-tonk recommendations from us!

Again, we hope you're all doing fantastic and we want you to know how much we appreciate your continued support: it means the world to us.

We'll see you out there!
