Out of Oklahoma, the Read Southall Band hit the stage Friday night. This rockin’ Red Dirt band has a very unique grunge-country sound that breathes new life into the country scene. Playing grooving tunes from a new album, their third release, titled For the Birds, they began the show with the title track and kept the music flowing with another new song, Stickin’ N Movin’.
Lead singer Read Southall was supported on stage by Johnny Tyler Perry on lead guitar, Ryan Wellman on guitar, Braxton Curliss on keys, Jeremee Knipp on bass, and Reid Barber on drums.
Along with more new music such as High-Speed Feed, Right or Wrong, Josephine, Out of My Mind, Where We Belong, Time to Kill, the band mixed in previously released tunes that included Runnin’. Beautiful Eyes, Why, Gunshy, and Don’t Tell me. Fans ate it up and helped the band by singing along with all the songs. The Read Southall Band ended their set with Dltgyd.
