Boise Bob & his Backyard Band

Hallandale Beach's Boise Bob is twangin' about a revolution. And unlike Toby Keith, this type of rebellion is several states outside of the Nashville system. Not content to let his toe-tapping, old-time swamp music roll past without an impact, Boise Bob has social politics on his mind that will be on yours if you give a listen. The raw edges of this country-fried punk cut through the bull with a track like Kmart ode "Blue Light Special." "Every time the blue light flashes, you will see the white trash dash in," he drawls in a voice straight out of the Appalachian foothills. Lest we forget Darnell Hotdog's banjo-chomping, Tex Merlot's washboard-scraping, and Owen Cash's washtub-bass-slapping, Boise Bob's backup crew, the Backyard Band, isn't afraid of a damned thing either. Even if it doesn't inspire a line dance, this music has no shortage of inspiring ideas. - New Times of Broward

There's a hot wind blowin' off the everglades this year; but Boise Bob and His Backyard Band know how to keep it cool. Performing songs like "Possum Meat", "Well Runs Dry", and "Blue Light Special", you can't help but have a good time singing along. He is joined by Tex Merlot on electric washboard and vocals, Owen Cash on washtub bass, harp and pig noises, Darnell Hot Dog on banjo, kick drum and slide guitar and Rufus Bacongrease on fiddle. So get the grill out, the chicken, and put the beer on ice. Come see for yourself!
