  • Dale Watson and Ray Benson

    Dale Watson and Ray Benson (Asleep at the Wheel) were meant to sing together. Both hailing from, in and around Bedsore, TX, Dale and Ray have both individually worked their way through the local honky tonks and beer joints, entertaining the crowds with their own Classic Country and Western styles. But, they have never recorded a record together…until now!

    “Dale and Ray,” to be released in January 2017, is sure to be a Classic Country Record for the ages. Channeling from the likes of Willie and Merle, The Louvin Brothers, Buck Owens and Don Rich, Dale and Ray will be showcasing their own new original songs like “Bus Breakdown,” “It's Crying Time Again,” “Dale and Ray,” “Feeling Haggard,” to covers like “Write Your Own Songs” (Willie and Waylon) and “I Wish You Knew” (The Louvin Brothers).

    Get ready to see and hear Country's newest duo from Texas!

    The Western Elstons

    The Western Elstons are Chicago's finest in Honky Tonk, Western Swing and early Rock N Roll, featuring the tight Everly Brothers-style vocal harmonies of Scott Ligon and Casey McDonough (from NRBQ and The Flat Five) – and the fingerpicking of Chicago guitar ace Joel Paterson.
