Bay Area alt-country band The Famous joins forces with Emery Villians at The Big Easy on June 12 for a Thursday night rockin’ hoedown that’s pay what you want at the door or decide later with a tip jar making the rounds. Great food, drinks and true Americana blending honky tonk, rockabilly and Western rock-n-roll.
The Famous open the night (8 pm showtime) making their first appearance at The Big Easy having played numerous events in Sonoma County over the years and now take the stage forging a sound that combines the transcendent roar of punk with the brutal honesty and black wit of traditional country. Take the ’50s-era country of Hank Williams, Sr. and filter it through ’70s punk rock, ’80s psychobilly, and ’90s post-punk and you’ll find yourself staring eye-to-eye with a Bay Area-born original rock-n-roll and country blend.
Emery Villains are a mainstay on the Northern California circuit performing their brand of Western Honky Tonk blending classic rockabilly with a modern edge. Their music has a high-energy feel that’s perfect for dancing, and their lyrics often have a fun, tongue-in-cheek vibe that’s reminiscent of the genre’s early days. Bands like Emery Villains, and others like Brian Setzer, Reverend Horton Heat, and Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, are all helping to carry the torch for rockabilly music, while also pushing the genre forward.
See you Thursday, June 12 at 8 pm for a huge night of music from two Northern California bands dedicated to the bringing to the modern-day stage classic country and rockabilly sounds set to get you moving on the dance floor!
