One of the most active series in the local music scene is The Last Honky Tonk Music Series<\/a>.
\nI have done a lot of coverage for them in the past and I have been following them
\nas quite a few of them are going ALL OVER the United States bringing acoustic music
\nto places that would normally not have such an array of talent.<\/p>\n

It still features Brigitte London<\/a> and now it has begun to feature
\nSeth Turner<\/a> is making his debut Texas run with the Series, starting with Bad “S” Icehouse.
\nChristopher Corkery<\/a> has done a bunch of shows and the
\nhuge amount of shows I see pouring into so many locations makes it easy for
\na more wider audience to attend…and a reporter hard to follow totally.
\nBut I been doing JUST THAT!<\/p>\n

Dallas Moore has been doing several shows all over the place for the series as well.
\nAnd I have other news about him in later articles.
\nAnnouncements will be coming shortly involving our 2015 plans, new artist & venue additions,
\nnew web site features & apps), live streaming, TV pilot, community plans, a Last Honkytonk Music
\nSeries radio station (yes!) & more.<\/p>\n

This series has introduced my ears and my heart to people like Hal Bruni<\/a> and to be able to
\nbecome better aquainted with the music of Jill Kinsey<\/a>.
\nYou have got a fantastic duo I have reported on before 2 Country 4 Nashville<\/a> that does a WONDERFUL JOB to entertain
\npeople with classic country music.<\/p>\n

Some of them are on a west coast jaunt and some of them are in Ohio..they are all over the place
\nin memory of our friend Wayne Mills who helped come up with the idea of the national series.
\nHonestly if I tagged ALL the venues involved in ALL the places I’m seeing it would
\ntake me a month to write one article…it’s THAT BIG!
\nThey just announced several new venues all over the place.<\/p>\n

Also the first week of June 2015 (June 1st- June 7th) there will be a bus tour!
\nThis will feature ALL of the Last Honky Tonk Series artists going from Morgan City
\nLouisiana and ending in Clarksville Ohio. Along the way there will be several stops
\nat participating venues on EVERY NIGHT along the way. This will be filmed LIVE and streamed
\nonline so everyone can watch the music. MORE DETAILS BELOW!<\/p>\n
