| The Troubadillos have been an institution at Poodies since 1992.

See "The Totally Terrific Troubadillos" every Tuesday! | Describing her sound, Hope explained to Rockabilly Online “I would say we are a new take on an old sound. It’s been described as ‘pan-americana’ which means we use many areas of early rock and roots music as a creative launchpad. Where it goes from there is anyone’s guess, because while we appreciate old music, we don’t want to write songs that have already been written." | |

Billy Broome Duo 8PM |
Jamie Hanks/2 Timin Country 10:30 |

| Bonham native Billy Broome fronts the Austin based Americana band Silo Road. Decidedly country, but with enough Waylon swagger to swing into other avenues from time to time, Broome’s music is throwback in the best possible sense. |

I'm a 21-year-old songwriter out of Spicewood, Texas. I've been a working musician for well over three years, but I have been on stages and playing for live audiences since the age of 12. There have been many musicians that have passed through my life; all leaving a lasting impression. During the summer of 2016, we traveled to Seattle, Washington to record my debut full-length album (Been Away) under producer Phillip Peterson. |
