Creative Alliance @ Mobtown Ballroom Presents: Dale Watson Chicken Sh*t Bingo Tour

Creative Alliance @ Mobtown Ballroom Presents: Dale Watson Chicken Sh*t Bingo Tour

An evening of perfect pairings: Creative Alliance + Mobtown Ballroom, Dale Watson + A chicken.

Austin’s own honky tonk hero embodies the outlaw country spirit with knock-out live shows and a country-contrarian style that aligns him more with yesterday's Opry than today's CMT. Tonight, he and his phenomenal band take their Chicken Sh*t Bingo show to B’more for the first time!

What is Chicken Sh*t Bingo? Honed to a fine craft by Dale during his Sunday afternoon shows at Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, this "keep it weird" version of bingo involves chickens, chicken feed, and what happens after chickens eat. You get a ticket with a number on it that corresponds to a number on the table. The chicken is unleashed and the crowd waits for it to do what a chicken does.

Watson’s quintessential country baritone and perceptive songwriting have helped him stand out as the torchbearer for a classic country sound. His disdain for the direction of modern country led him to become somewhat of a spokesperson for the now-fringe artists of the country genre: musicians that play honky-tonk, western swing and rockabilly. As he says, “Nashville has torn out its roots and put 'em on the curb to be picked up by the garbage man."

Watson has flown the flag for classic honky-tonk for over two decades and twenty albums, beginning with his classic 1995 debut Cheatin’ Heart Attack and moving through landmarks The Truckin’ Sessions and Every Song I Write is For You. El Rancho Azul, his latest LP, proves his place as one of the world’s finest C&W singers and songwriters.

The dance floor is open!

“With a voice as deep as his white pompadour is high, Watson keeps the sounds of the honky-tonk country-and-Western scene alive…” –The New Yorker
