Local Bands

The Bait Shop Boys & The Hipnecks are two that come to mind.
http://www.baitshopboys.net

If you haven't seen either of these two bands, I highly suggest going to see them. Both have their own ways (mixing many genres/styles) of making music work for their audiences. And how can you beat this description of the bait shop boys "Dick Swingin' Hillbilly Jazz".. That's all I needed!! Go see 'em and have a great time.

ditto!

I agree with you on The Bait Shop Boys! The Hipnecks are fun too (but I've only seen them 1 time). I must give props to a few more (off the top of my head):
Ironweed Bluegrass Band | http://www.ironweedbluegrassband.com/
The Fried Crawdaddies | no website
Noah Earle | http://www.noahearle.com/
The Belairs | http://www.belairs.com/
Hillary Scott Band | http://www.hilaryscott.com/

and there are plenty more! please join in and add links and/or descriptions to your favorite local bands. we will listen to your advice for future events(check the calendar).

If you like those bands, then I suspect that you'll like New Roots Trio: www.myspace.com/newrootstrio

Does the Warehouse have plans for periodic local music shows? This town is in need of some classy places for these bands to play.

shows would be cool. i don't know any bands here yet. new here. hopefully in the next year i'll launch my new band. i don't have a name yet.
