Hard travlin'

If you love hardcore country, The Taphouse has a show worth checking out Friday night. J.B. Beverley and the Wayward Drifters are in town to launch what looks like a pretty extensive tour. This is an acoustic trio featuring the main man on vocals and guitar, with Dan "BanjerDan" Mazer on banjo and mandolin and Johnny Lawless on upright bass. These guys have done lots of dates with Wayne "The Train" Hancock and with Hank Williams III, so I'm guessing they're the real deal. They also come with the endorsement of T.J. the D.J. who definitely knows his rockabilly and honkytonk. It appears that J.B. and crew are from Cross Junction, Virginia, which is outside Winchester. But they definitely get around. The tour that starts Friday night will take them through Louisiana, Texas, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon and California. The Taphouse show supposedly starts at 9 p.m.
