Tight Ham
Catchy-but not like a fish;
Country-but on the Alt side;
Banjo-on the Bluegrass side!;
We all are addicted to making music.
That which we can't say with words will be presented in numerous awkward gestures and hand signs.
Everyone in the band has an incredible heart.

HIlary, Thanks so much for making "Country Girl's Lullabye" so dang pretty with your banjo pickin'. Good to see ya! Jamie Lyn & Honky Tonk Angels Everywhere
Thank you for your kind message. I will pass it along to Horatio.
Your songs sound great! Fantastic performances!
Please spread the word about how Horatio Lee Jenkins' exceptional drinking abilities allowed him to humiliate Satan. So many lives could be touched and uplifted by his fabulous story and beautiful song.
And get "Drunker Than Satan"! It is amazing!
Thank you, Deacon Frederick Leroy Elroy Smith
P.S.-Enjoy the glorious video for "Drunker Than Satan":
Hil- The music sounds great! Love the sound of the new album. Looking forward to playing at the show with you. See you soon and keep swinging on that banjo! Kari
Hi Hilary & Mimi & Hogzilla! Thanks SO MUCH for playing the Honky Tonk Angels Show at Galapagos. It was an honor to share the stage with ya'all...I'm still a-tinglin' from your rendition of "Miss Ohio" and that song about DUMBO. Keep pickin', I'll keep grinnin'! Jamie Lyn
I can't even tell you how great it was to see you the other night. You look amazing and your live sound is on par with if not better then your studio work. I am hooked, 100%. Can't wait to see you perform in March!
Hilary- Thanks for coming down to Superfine on Thursday! Sorry we didn't get to chat too much. It was awesome, though, that you sat in with Blue Harvest. You really made the evening special. Kimberlee
