Have you checked out Junior Brown, excellent performer and sure doesn’t take himself seriously.
+1. Well worth the listen. And he has an advanced design Chevy truck! Can’t get any more real than that.
We saw Junior live at the Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa.
They did a nice, fun, what I would call modern country show. It was fun, people two-stepping and not taking anything too serious.
Of course Junior was playing his custom made “steel-git”, playing lead guitar and then flipping it over and playing steel guitar. His wife playing rhythm was/is cute and cheerful.
Nothing pretentious about it. Just fun music.
