I-35 road trip...looking for bands to watch or sit in with
I'm heading out on a I-35 road trip from Minnesota to San Antonio from around July 12/13-25 and am looking for some cool things to do along the way like county fairs, town fairs and festivals that might have a good band to WATCH or might need a guitar player/steel player wannabe to fill in or sit in and jam with. Aiming for things within less than an hour of 35 and GOOD (Waylon, Johnny, Don, Buck) country music. Also, any other sites, sounds, eats, to check out along the way. Much thanks in advance!

Our band,Billy Mata & The Texas Tradition. www.Billymata.com will be playing at
Anhalt Hall( www.anhalthall.com ) on 07/25/09. We play Western Swing and Texas Dancehall Music. You can take the kids, Grandma and everyone has a good time. It was built sometime in the late 1800's. If your still here come on by. It's close to San Antonio and less than an hour from IH35.
If you want a good place to eat almost any Mexican restaurant in San Antonio is good.
You don't want to miss the town of Gruene near new Braunfels, Tx.
Gruene Hall ( http://www.gruenehall.com/has live music. The town is neat if you want to just walk around and see the area.
The Grist Mill( www.gristmillrestaurant.com ) is a cool place to eat. If your into tubing you can rent tubes right there on the River. http://www.rockinr.com )
Hope this helps.

Well if you were in Fort Worth on July 11th you could stop by the Worlds Largest Honky Tonk better known as Billy Bob's and see me.
After that,there probably wouldn't be a whole lot left to see but try to enjoy yourself while your here.
Come on by!
P.S. If you do happen to come,tell the Box Office girls that the steel player invited you and they probably won't charge you to get in.
Here's a link to our website and live cut of us at Billy Bob's several months back.

Hey Danny,
Yep that bunch is so rough I have to carry my Taser all the time.
If that ain't bad enough,we just hired Dusty Moats to front the band so I may need to call for backup.
Mark,
I think they found that video just to tick me off. I hate Orange Blossom Special with a purple passion and they know it.
I gotta go check the batteries on my Taser.
Later...

More to do in KC
Like Darryl said Tuesday Nights @ Record Bar w/ Rex Hobart & The Honky Tonk Standards is a must in KC. If you hang around until Wednesday you can catch our gig at Harry's Country Club in Downtown KC w/ Russ Wever on Steel. Or if you are coming back through KC on July 24th we will be opening for Ray Price @ Knuckleheads.
I'd also suggest stopping in KC for some BBQ. Jack's Stack, Oklahoma Joe's, LC's, Arthur Bryant's, Gates, etc..........

Thanks everybody, keep 'em coming! We'll definitely be going through KC and I'll schedule for a Tue. or Wed. I know it's a longshot but if anybody's heading through Western Wisconsin anytime (anywhere near Eau Claire) let me know. We've got a few gigs over the summer and would love to have a "real" steeler sit in.
