The "Train" Rolls In By Tom Weber Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN
BYRON -- Wayne "the Train" Hancock, whose traditional country music is strongly influenced by Hank Williams and Bob Wills, will perform at 8 p.m. April 25 at the Byron American Legion Post.
Hancock calls himself a "hillbilly with attitude," and says he wants to take back country music from the over-commercialization of recent decades. As a clue to his viewpoint, Hancock is based in Austin, Texas, rather than the traditional country hometown of Nashville.
"I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville," Hancock has said.
The AllMusic Guide says of Hancock, "A rare breed of traditionalist, one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passions that his songs never feel like the museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. "
Hancock's latest CD, "Viper of Melody," is produced by Lloyd Maines, who has produced albums for Wilco, Uncle Tupelo and the Dixie Chicks.
Tickets are $15, available at the door. Opening act is Brother Music Sister Rhythm. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m.
Wayne has a new album due out April 21st on Bloodshot Records entitled "Viper Of Melody" and then on Saturday, April 25th, 2009, he will be playing at the Byron American Legion.
We invite you to take your hot rod on it's first road trip of the year and come on out for a great night of Rockabilly and Swing.
If you need an inexpensive hotel for the night where you won't get hit on by crack whores or caught in the crossfire, just shoot me an e-mail and I can give ya some solid info!
Wayne is scheduled to go on at 8:30 and play the whole night with a break in the middle.
The American Legion in Byron, Mn., is just outside Rochester and has a BIG dance floor, plenty of tables and chairs for everyone, and inexpensive drinks... so come on down and party with us!
I have spent many hours reading this website, learning about ridiculous and appaling demolitions in the Chicago area.
One of the cool things you can download from this site are Newsletter pdf files. These are photo-filled newsletters with preservation news. They can be found here:
I myself am not a member of this group and they don't even know I'm promoting them on myspace. I just wanted to make the most of my "Preserve History" myspace profile.
