Twang. You hear that? It’s called a twang. And guess what: there’s more where that came from. Folks, the Outlaw Music Festival is rollin’ into town, and it’s prepared to “two-timin’ woman” and “cross-roads-meetin’ devil” the s*** out of you. A ragtag bunch of bluesy, countryish bands will gather together at O’Malley’s for a night of rowdiness followed (hopefully) by many tears cried in beers. If ever there was a time to break out your leather jacket with the fringe and the white rose emblem, now’s the time. Oh, and your dog died. And your woman left you. And alls you got left is your geetar. Beer full of tears yet?
