MySpace Showcase Tuesday – The Snakehandlers

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Yeah It’s a little early for the MySpace Showcase but I’m busy traveling tomorrow so just deal. This weeks showcase is the Snakehandlers. The self procalimed “World’s Loudest Country Band” and judging by the clips on their Mypace page I’m inclined to believe them. Powerful, tight playing, great vocals and a killer cover version of the The Jim Carroll Band’s  “People That Died.” Twang Nation says check these bad boys out!

If you live in the vicinity of Athens Georgia head on over to Musick Fest. These shows are to benefit a friend of Twang Nation and beloved Athens musician Wendy Musick, who plays guitar for Southern Bitch, with some very high medical bills.
As you know, most musicians don’t have insurance, so please come see these shows! There are two of ’em in Athens, and will feature Patterson Hood (Drive By Truckers) and the Screwtopians, Will Johnson from Centro-Matic, Don Chambers + Goat, David Barbe and the Quick Hooks, Dave Marr, Clay Leverett, Mother Jackson, Kimberly Morgan, Betsy Franck, Diet RockStar, Still Small Voice and The Joyful Noise, and Fest-goers can expect surprise performances by other members of the Athens Music Family.

Now go out, do some good and hear some great Georgia music!
