Hear Me Roar!
Well where do we, your adoring public get those T-Shirts? I think it would be really cool to see about 3 dozen middle aged guys that still live with their Moms show up at the Belly Up with "I am Jenn hear me roar" T-Shirts. Just think cafepress.com— February 20, 2008 4:30 a.m.
Semi-Garage Band
Big Rig Deluxe debut CD Semi-Garage Band Scram Hippie Records # SH000-123 Songs: Act naturally – Muse – E Ticket Ride – That’s Allright Mama – Folsom Prison Blues – Whiskeytown Blues – Texas Swing – Trouble On My Mind – That Means You Love Him – Hey Good Lookin’ – Six Days On The Road Built around the personality of Johnny d’Artenay, formerly of Hot Rod Lincoln, and some accomplished musicians, Big Rig Deluxe is a cool band you’d love to see play in a bar near you with a beer in hand. This is what you can – almost – get with this live cd. (you just have to bring the beer). How to define their sound? Well think about something like Honky Tonk – Bakersfieldabilly and you’ll be close. Their set is made of classic covers (Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams) and originals mostly written by d’Artenay. This guy knows how to write good songs, and he also knows how to sing them, with a voice sounding a bit like Chris Isaak meets Johnny Cash. The Man in Black seems to be an obvious influence when you hear “Whiskeytown Blues” and its trademark “boo-chicka-boom” rhythm (provided by the great Hal Smith) and this simple but effective guitar solo. Steel guitar player Robin Henkel brings a touch of western swing here and there and especially on his own instrumental “Texas Swing” where he trades licks with guitarist Jon Harford. “Six Days On The Road” end perfectly the show (it could have been longer). If you like real country music (not the pre-digested stuff you can hear on radio) played by guys who are not afraid to sweat, this one will sure please you.

Big Rig Deluxe -- 08/29/08 at Coyote Bar & Grill
Hey now another Big Rig Deluxe show at the COYOTE BAR & GRILL! This is Johnny G. with Big Rig Deluxe, and the CASH KINGS Johnny Cash Tribute Band. I just wanted to let you all know that we will play plenty of Johnny Cash tunes, classic country, originals, and rockabilly as usual. But the real skinny on this gig is that our good friend Sue Palmer will be on piano with us. Sue will be bringing all of her boogie woogie with her and layin' it down like she does with her Motel Swing Orchestra. If you don't know Sue yet, you may have heard of her past accomplishments with her band "Tobacco Road", or her exploits with blues Diva "Candy Kane". Come join us down by the railroad tracks and gather round the ring of fire for great food, drinks, & dancing! We'll have the Semi-Garage Band CD's and T-Shirts for $10 each, however there is NO COVER CHARGE to get in!— February 1, 2008 6:33 p.m.
