Myra Taylor' Birthday Party, Anthony Gomes, Smokin Joe Kubec, The Nace Brothers, Aaron Watson, & MORE @ Knukleheads 2/16 - 2/22/2009

Wed 2/18
The Gibson Brothers (bluegrass)
with special guest Miss Major & Her Minor Mood Swings
The Middle Creek Opry band will be the special guest in the Gospel Lounge

Now, with this new release, Iron & Diamonds, Eric and Leigh have taken their place on the American jukebox. The Gibsons have made a conscious effort to co-write most of the songs on this album. And by using their own band and a single microphone for their duet vocals, you hear exactly what you hear in a live show:
a tight ensemble that plays to the song, toneful and nuanced lead and duet harmonies, and songs that can move you to tears or to the dance floor.But they?re also aware of how a collection of songs should be selected, arranged, recorded, and ordered so that it creates a complete listening experience. They start with a Tom Petty song, "Cabin Down Below", that jumps out of the speakers like some runaway rockabilly hit.

Thurs 2/19
Aaron Watson (Honky Tonk/Country)
with special guest Outlaw Jim & the Whiskey Benders

It's no secret that Texas has always had its own kind of music and its own kind
of music business to go along with it. But even by the wide-open standards of the Lone Star State, the ongoing career and success of Aaron Watson are something else. With an uncanny knack for mixing great songs and unforgettable performances with good, old-fashioned business savvy, Watson has grown ? night-by-night, fan-by-fan,
album-by-album, one honky-tonk stage at a time ? into an unstoppable force
in Texas Music with his sights firmly set on the national stage.
