Honky Tonk Confidential
Posted by info
Performing on Saturday July 26 at 4:30 PM on the GRANDSTAND STAGE.
Honky Tonk Confidential plays both kinds of music — country and western. Claiming classic honky tonk and western swing as major influences, HTC ’s performances include classic country tunes as well as clever originals, filled with cunning references while sounding inspired and totally original
A front-line of Telecasters is led by Mike Woods’ masterful guitar and including Diana Quinn on rhythm guitar, Sam Goodall on bass, and Bobby Martin on his “flying” pedal steel guitar. Mark Lindamood fuels the band with his powerful Ludwig drums. In addition to impeccable musicianship, HTC ’s three-part harmony sets the band apart from all others in its class.
HTC hails from Washington , D.C. (and we’re here to help you). The band has played in a wide variety of venues, from the genuine honky tonk JV (in Falls Church ) to most of the major venues in the area, including the Kennedy Center , Barns of Wolf Trap, the Strathmore, and the Washington Folklife Festival. HTC is also Bob Schieffer’s (of CBS News) official backup band, and four of Bob’s songs (lyrics by Bob, music by Diana and Mike) are on the band’s fourth album, Road Kill Stew and Other News (with special guest Bob Schieffer) You may have seen HTC on C-Span, backing up Bob on (I Wanna Be A) TV Anchorman; on South Dakota Public Television; on youtube, on Billy Hancock’s American Music Cable TV show, or in the Style section of the Washington Post. And you can leven look them up on Wikipedia.
