“If Ernest Tubb is the King of Honky Tonk music, then Lucky Tubb is surely the Prince” Choosing to carry out the legacy of his great-uncle, Lucky’s style is reminiscent to the raw and original country style of the earliest Nashville artists. Before music row forgot their heritage. Lucky Tubbs album “Generations” was recorded in January of 2003, after a devastating Christmas Eve house fire burned away all of his belongings.
Through generous donations, he was able to re-establish equipment and love from the music community. He carried on. Never breaking stride and never retreating, Lucky has moved up the ranks of the Texas music scene.
Starting out playing coffee shops for tips with only a snare drummer, to opening for country music cornerstones such as ET’s old pal Ray Price and country superstar Dwight Yoakum. Lucky wears his life experiences like a well-tailored suit with the sleeves ripped off. In the early days, despite poor management, heavy drinking, and quick temper (alongside many acclaimed honky-tonkers and country legends), he has grown to realize the responsibilities bestowed to him through heritage. Bottom line, Lucky Tubb is the real deal. People will always like good honky-tonk music, and will for generations to come.

Bollweevil on the backporch:
Oscar sings and strums guitar.
Roy shakes and bangs things and sings.
Scott tickles the keys and sings.
Chad makes guitar noises and barely sings.
Tommy thumps his bass.
Greg used to hits the drums, but now is missed.
Our song "One Drink Tonight" appears on the album This Is Alt-Country, Volume II. When we're not playing Hollywood, Silverlake, and Echo Park venues we're drinking in them. And listen up all you yacht-rockers; we were playing the Santa Monica Windjammers Yacht Club long before you jumped on the yacht-wagon.
