“Now that dudes like Charley Crockett have gone national, it’s up to a new crop of homegrown honky tonkers to step up, pay dues, and hopefully use the city as a launching pad. At the top of the list of those surging performers is one Ellis Bullard – his barrel-chested voice, and his badass honky tonk band are the dudes to see.When people from out of town ask you where you should go to find the real deal Austin honky tonk experience, the answer is wherever Ellis Bullard is playing. That’s where the party will be.” – Saving Country Music
