Check out our spot on Honky Tonk Heroes on AfterFM!

Big Daddy was behind the mic and was kind enough to drop us into the fabulous playlist “With Harry Choates Blues”

A radio favorite in Colorado, Honky Tonk Heroes is Classic Country with a little new honky tonk music mixed in.

We hope you'll join us each and every week to hear some of the greatest recordings ever created. Honky Tonk Heroes is your connection to real Country.

Kevin Anthony & G-Town featured in Texas Highways

Whenever a Cajun fiddler cocks his head back and cries “Eh-Ha-Ha!” it’s a shout-out to the ghost of Harry Choates, the Port Arthur-raised “godfather of Cajun music.” You’re sure to hear a few of the exuberant yelps this coming Saturday, Oct. 5, as the Galveston Historical Foundation celebrates Choates’ music with a free concert at Hendley Green, a downtown Galveston park. Gulf Coast musicians Kevin Anthony & G-Town, who’ve recently recorded an album of Choates’ songs, will play from 6-8 p.m.

Happy birthday Harry Choates!

Kevin and Chris took a trip up to Port Arthur today to wish Harry Choates a happy birthday! Harry was born on December 26, 1922. He died in 1951 but in his 28 years he made quite an impression and left a musical legacy that is carried on to this day. He brought together Cajun music, Texas swing, Mexican folk, blues and jazz to create a truly original Texas Gulf Coast sound. We are excited and honored to be working on a tribute album for Mr. Choates which we hope to record in 2019!

Here's to you Harry!

(Also, Harry Choates was known to pull practical jokes on his bandmates. We are hoping he was just messing with us and having a laugh at the end of the video!)
