Joe Pug GIVE-AWAY!!!

Kelly — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 14:03:09 +0000

Look, let’s cut to the chase, here. We all love Joe Pug and his folk-eriffic work over the past four years. When he finally released a full-fledged LP last year, Messenger, appropriate hosannas were sung by many, including this blogger, for sure.

While the recorded output of Mr. Pug has been consistently stellar, his live product is equally so, whether with a full band accompanying him, or if he’s just standing alone, letting all out for everyone to take in.

Joe Pug is hitting the Dallas/Ft. Worth area next week, as he swings by The Loft in Dallas. The Loft has seen an insane amount of talent grace its stage as of late (Frightened Rabbit, Felice Brothers, Trampled by Turtles, The Vaselines, among others) and of course, this coming Saturday will be no exception to that rule.

The folks at The Loft have been kind enough to give-away a pair of tickets to this show, which will be opened by the equally folk-ified Strand of Oaks. Want to win? Be the first to EMAIL ME – kelly@thegobblersknob.com – with Pug Is My Messengerin the subject line and your name will be at the door for a sweet pair of tix, courtesy of The Loft.

Hayes Carll / Bobby Bare Jr. GIVEAWAY!

Kelly — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 12:03:16 +0000

I can’t imagine that I have to tell you too many reasons as to why it’s a really good idea to catch a show at the Granada Theater in Dallas with both Bobby Bare Jr. and Hayes Carll performing, right? Good, didn’t think so. Bare’s last album is yet another great collection from the guy that will simply put on one of the best live shows your likely to see all year, and Carll will hopefully bust out some stuff from his eagerly awaited new album. I caught him live, back in July and he wasn’t doing that just yet, but I imagine he will this week.

Want a free pair of tickets to this (almost) holiday show, courtesy of our friends at the Granada Theater? Be the first to email me at kelly@thegobblersknob.com with “Hayes Carl Left Me for Jesus” in the subject line and the pair is all yours!

Gobb Knob Update

Kelly — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 13:16:05 +0000

Hey, everyone! Been a crazy few weeks (in a good way). Hope everyone is doing well. Here’s a few items that have been keeping me busy as of late. For those interested, I’ll have a few more posts going up this week on the ol’ Knob, so check back soon and you’ll see a bit more than I’ve been putting up recently…

I got to chat with the insanely hot Grace Potter about sex…

The Drive By Truckers brought the house down…

I’ve continued judging the Shiner Rising Star contest…

I can’t help but love the new stuff from a couple of Dallas’ all-time great bands: The Old 97′s and The Toadies.

The new Possessed By Paul James is pretty awesome!

The Trishas Are Alright (and a Giveaway!)

Kelly — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 11:30:48 +0000

It’s little secret that the amount of women hitting it big in the world of Texas country isn’t as large as many would hope. Funny thing is, that might actually be due to the fact that four of our state’s greatest musical females have joined forces inside of one group,The Trishas. Jamie Wilson, Liz Foster, Kelley Mickwee and Savannah Welch are all veterans of the music scene in and around Austin. Together, their blend of folk and country is damn near flawless. In a live setting, they amp their sound up, just enough to introduce a bit of rocking good times into the mix.

Speaking of thier live performance, you can see them for free as they open up forCharlie Robison at the Granada Theater, this Friday night in Dallas! Be the first to email me at kelly@thegobblersknob.com, with “The Trishas” in the subject line and you will win 2 tickets, compliments of our friends at The Granada Theater. If you don’t win, go over to the theater’s site for tickets. You’ll be glad that you did!

SLOBBERBONE GIVEWAY!

Kelly — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:31:14 +0000

OK, folks. I’m not gonna sit here and go on and on about Denton’s Slobberbone. If you’ve been reading The Knob for any length of time, you know that the trailblazing, cowpunkers are among my favorite acts of all time.

Here’s the deal. They’re playing another show in Dallas at the fantastic Granada Theater. You may remember I saw them about a year ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. Be the first to email me before 5pm today (kelly@thegobblersknob.com,) with SLOBBERBONE in the subject line, to win a pair of tix to the show tomorrow night in Dallas, courtesy of our good friends at The Granada Theater (where there are some insane shows lined up!).
