Friday, Jan. 14, 7-10 p.m., SCB, $10 pp
Reserved seating by table Tickets for this event go on sale Monday, November 1 @ 9 a.m.  With unlikely roots for a country singer, Northern California native Bob Appel was exposed as a teen to the neo-traditional country sounds of Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, and Aaron Tippin. It took years to appreciate the poetic, story-telling, simple musical structure and heartfelt vocal performances from prior generations. Through these singers Bob found the music of icons like Hank Williams, Faron Young, Ray Price, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, and Wynn Stewart. Since moving to Austin in 2010, Bob stands up at dance halls, festivals, opry shows, and honky-tonks bringing the musical traditions gone by to times yet to come. |
