The Boondocks.

about

Anthony Toner (vocals, electric, acoustic and lapsteel guitar), Mark Crockard (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Marcus McAuley (acoustic guitar and mandolin) have come together to play the old school country songs they love.

These timeless classics by Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams, et al , have built the foundations of country music and the craft of great songwriting.

We’re talking classics like ‘Witchita Lineman’, ‘I’m so lonesome I could cry’, ‘Always on my mind’, ‘Love Hurts’, ‘Help me make it through the night’, ‘Brass Buttons’, the list goes on….

Classic country tends towards the big emotions: tortured romance, despair, hard work, yet more heartbreak and hard-won truths. Closer to it roots in bluegrass, beautiful melodies, touching words, soaring harmonies and intricate solos are the core of classic country music. If you love your classic country and haven’t yet been converted to The Boondocks authentic ‘backporch’ sound, you’ll want to get yourself along to The Black Box for a great evening’s entertainment.
