Texas And Music - Sam Bentley

A friend asked a while back if we were going to be at Giddy Ups to hear his dad play. Sure, why not. Most of our friends go to Giddy Ups so it would be a chance to see and visit with them. Sam Bentley & His Honky Tonk Band Besides, we believe 'new' bands enjoy seeing a good crowd on their first night in any venue.....especially when it's their first 'professional' gig as a group. Sounded like a fun night. We weren't disappointed!

We started the night just saying 'hi' to everyone and visiting. Then the music started! We were out on the patio before the end of the first song! Several of the band's musician friends showed up including Glen Collins. We were 'hooked'! At the end of the evening, we weren't ready for the music to stop. And, the band wasn't ready either. While members of the band were packing up the equipment, Sam, Glenn, Tony, and Craig each treated us to a second....acoustic....show. If it hadn't been for the fact that the bar had to close before TABC came in and caused trouble, we'd probably spent the whole night there!

We've seen Sam and the guys a lot since that first night. They never fail to make the night special. You just can't ask for anything better!

If you enjoy traditional country music, and like to be around a fun crowd, you need to Sam Bentley @ His Honky Tonk Band with Michael Uhlman @ The 2009 Spring Fling Festival see Sam Bentley and His Honky Tonk Band. Sam and the guys always seem to play for 'the fun of it'. They're all super nice, and talented. As a result, you never know who's going to show up to hear them and maybe get up and sing few songs!! People like Glen Collins, Bobby Pounds, or Kevin Fowler. If no one 'famous' shows up, Sam and the guys are 'famous' enough for us!!
