Y'all. Texas Country music is a TRIP

I've been at a festival the last two days. 12 bands, 3 headliners, TONS of great music. Yesterday I heard a band called Copper Chief, and they were awesome. Did a sick southern rock cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton. Then I heard Joe Diffie, mr. 90s country 20 something number one hits himself. Also awesome, just in a different way.

Then there was today. Heard from one band I already knew I liked, who play their own songs that sound like they belonged in the 90s. Another band I knew who plays a slightly more southern rock version of country.

And then. Then there was Parkee McCollum. I love his music. I knew almost every song he played. And in the middle of a song called "I can't breathe"-- this is NOT a joke-- he took out an inhaler and took a puff. Oh, the irony.

And lastly, mr. Koe Wetzel (Cussin Koe as the radio station i listen to refers to him) closed out the night. He was telling stories (that weren't true), in his apology for cussing he dropped the f-bomb, and the dude literally bummed a cigarette and a light off of an audience member.

But none of that is the best part. Koe's drummer straight-up looked like someone kidnapped his mom and threatened her unless he played the drums. Or that if he hit the wrong drum he was going to be blown up. Here's some photo evidence:

All in all it was a great weekend, I even came out without a sunburn, and we didn't get rained out like last year! I already can't wait for next year...
