Lets take a moment here in sympathy for the Family of EDDIE OVERTON...Paiges father.
They lost their Husband and Father a while back. A sudden heart attact while on a walk with Michelle, his wife.
ANOTHER BY FOSTER AND SANG BY BING CROSBY IN 1949
Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air;
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour.
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er:
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die:
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glad;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them not more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
AND YET ANOTHER FAVORITE SANG BY MANY...
Jenny Kissed Me
by Leigh Hunt
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add-
Jenny kissed me!
A FAVORITE POEM AND SONG OF MINE FROM STEPHEN FOSTER...ESPECIALLY AS SANG BY BING CROSBY CIRCA 1949
Sweetly She Sleeps, My Alice Fair
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek on the pillow pressed,
Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair,
Like sunlight, streams o'er her breast.
Hush! let her sleep! I pray, sweet breeze,
Breathe low on the maple bough!
Hush! bright bird, on her window trees!
For sweetly she sleepest now.
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek on the pillow pressed,
Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair,
Like sunlight, streams o'er her breast.
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek like the first May rose,
Sweetly she sleeps, and all her care
Is forgotten in soft repose.
Hush! though the earliest beams of light
Their wings in the blue sea dip,
Let her sleep, I pray, while her dreams are bright,
And a smile is about her lip.
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek on the pillow pressed,
Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair,
For those who haven’t heard The Clydesdale, they’re an alt-country band led by gorgeous, gorgeously voiced Paige Overton, who gives Patsy Cline a run for her bar tab. Every song is like entering a forgotten honky-tonk where Hank Williams’ ghost lingers. A Crowd of Small Adventures opens. Admission is $5, the right price for any show.

The Clydesdale and A Crowd of Small Adventures
The Clydesdale and A Crowd of Small Adventures, two of the most praised bands on the local alternative scene, appear at 7 p.m. Friday, March 4 at Winchester Cultural Center, an all-ages venue.
The Clydesdale, fronted by singer, guitarist Paige Overton, with Andrew Karasa, guitar and voice; Jason Aragon, bass; and Courtney Carroll, drums, was voted “Best Local Country Act” in the Las Vegas Weekly 2010 Reader’s Choice Poll, and has received continuous raves since forming in 2004.
A writer for Rolling Stone magazine made the sharpest assessment of the band’s county-punk sound back in 2006, saying it, “sounds like the soundtrack to a western directed by Quentin Tarantino.”
Critic Doug Elfman called it, “the most exciting local band I've seen in Las Vegas,” adding that Overton, “packs more emotion into her phrasings than any singer on any top 40 list.”
A Crowd of Small Adventures opens the show, with Jackson Wilcox, guitar; Sean Villaros, guitar and keyboards; Megan Wingerter, violin, viola and keyboards; Ronald Corso, bass; and Mike Weller, drums. All but Villaros sing.
Critic Jarret Keene, recently ended his listing of top local bands with, “and, of course, the best of the bunch, A Crowd of Small Adventures.”
Mike Prevatt called the band’s new CD, “a flawless album,” ending his review, “their album is fantastic, and so are they.” Spencer Patterson called the same CD, “A Decade in X-Rays,” “as good a batch of songs as you’ll find—anywhere—from 2010.”
With two extraordinary bands, the concert is a perfect occasion to hear why listeners are amazed at the quality of the local music scene.

Winchester makes room for rock 'n' roll
By AMANDA LLEWELLYN
VIEW STAFF WRITER
Special to ViewThe Clydesdale, from left, Jason Aragon, Paige Overton, Courtney Carroll and Andrew Karasa, is next up to play in the Young Originals series at the Winchester Cultural Center.
Mike Thompson/special to VIEWJackson Wilcox sings lead vocals for A Crowd of Small Adventurers backed up by Megan Wingerter, Mike Weller, Ronald Corso and Sean Villaros.

Rock 'n' roll was always part of the plan.
At least, that's what Patrick Gaffey, cultural program supervisor for the Clark County Parks and Recreation Department, said about the ever-evolving series The Young Originals set to feature local indie scene favorites The Clydesdale and A Crowd of Small Adventures beginning at 7 p.m. Friday at the Winchester Cultural Center, 3130 S. McLeod Drive.
Admission is $5.
"We're planning a pretty incredible doubleheader with these two bands," he said.
The Clydesdale is a country, folk and rock band featuring musicians Paige Overton, Andrew Karasa, Jason Aragon and Courtney Carroll.
A Crowd of Small Adventures features the vocal stylings of Jackson Wilcox and musical talents of Megan Wingerter, Mike Weller, Ronald Corso and Sean Villaros.
The show is for people of all ages, and Gaffey said he's excited to add rock music to the mix of entertainment offered in the series, which has been running since last summer.
"We do a lot of musical stuff," he said. "But we are more known for acoustic, world music and jazz. It has always been part of the plan to add rock to our mixture."
Gaffey describes the new direction of the series as a big departure for the Winchester.
"The local indie rock scene is so rich, and we really wanted to highlight that," he said, "especially with these two excellent bands."
The event will feature individual performances and consist of mostly original material, according to A Crowd of Small Things frontman Wilcox.
"We've been together since 2007," he said. "We write our own stuff, and we're really proud of what we have to offer."
Wilcox said he hopes people come away from the show feeling as though they have experienced something they haven't before.
"Music should be inspiring," he said.
Wilcox said he is excited to play an all-ages show.
"You don't get to do that too often in Las Vegas," he said.
Gaffey said the center was able to make the show for all ages because there will be no alcoholic beverages for sale.
"We want this to be fun for families and kids," he said. "That's our aim, to give people in the community an opportunity to enjoy great, original music in a family-friendly setting."
Gaffey said the series has been successful so far, and he hopes it will continue to be.
"That will sort of dictate how long we keep it going," he said. "It will also be an indicator of what the series consists of, who we invite to play. This is a community endeavor."

“Revival” Does Just That for Classic Country

If you like your country western music sung by artists named Hank and Patsy and you don’t know any country western music artists named Garth or Faith, then Whiskey Revival will fit you like your favorite pair of Wranglers.
A night with this lively six-member band is as close to a night in an authentic honky tonk on the side of a road in rural Texas as we get in southern Nevada. The band plays what they call “outlaw country” and keeps to classic numbers that have not been watered down.
The local band has made a home for itself at Club Fortune Casino in Henderson, where it plays every Sunday evening.
On a recent night, Whiskey Revival played to a full crowd of loyal fans. With even just the first few twangs from the pedal steel guitar, blood pressures lowered and smiles cropped up around the lounge. “Amos Moses,” “Whiskey River” and “Fujiyama Mama” were particularly rollicking. And the band is just as pleasing with slow ballads: “Bird On A Wire” and “Faded Love” were standouts and got couples two-stepping on the dance floor.
“Sleepwalk,” which features the pedal steel guitar, was an extra-special treat and, as the evening wound down, Kenny Rogers’ “Ruby” was an inspired choice.
Band boss Andy Morris is the colorful founder of the band and is part of a three-generation Henderson family. His father, Barry Morris, also performed around town in acts such as Flashbacks for over twenty years.
Paige Overton is the only woman in the band. Paige not only sounds like Patsy Cline, but she also looks like a modern day Vargas Girl with her raven hair, fair skin and dark red lips. Paige’s entire family often attends the show.
Thom Ferman is the dedicated pedal steel guitar player who brings the exquisitely heartbreaking twang to the classic numbers. Handsome baby-faced guitar player Matt James, sweetly sheepish bass player Alex LeCavalier and non-conformist Jon Whisenant, the percussionist, are all equally talented and round out the hard-working band.
Club Fortune Casino completes the experience with drink specials during every show. So until your next pilgrimage to the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield or to Willie Nelson’s Fourth of July Picnic in Fort Worth, keep your boots tapping with this “rootin’ tootin’” band.

Churning out their brand of music for six years in the Las Vegas area, rockabilly band The Clydesdale performed poolside at the Silverton on Saturday, clad in flowery prints and proving well worth the wait.
The Clydesdale blasted forward in a LeAnn Rimes meets Social Distortion manner — neither of which I was expecting. With a sound as polished as that of any band that has tested the annals of time, this cow-punk band was a pleasant surprise.
Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Paige Overton belts out her vocals reminiscent of Patsy Cline, engaging the audience with a perky personality.
And I’m a sucker for a beautiful voice, but the creative bass lines laid down by bassist Jason Aragon made me want to hear more.
Holding down the rest of the rhythm section is drummer Courtney Carroll, who is solid and creative in her playing. During one song, she used a set of maracas as her drumsticks, creating a wonderful percussive feel while lead guitarist Andrew Karasa melded in his solo styling.
Karasa incorporates both standard six-string guitars and lap steels for that twangy country feel. Even more impressive, he builds his own guitars.
There is no wonder that The Clydesdale have been considered one of Las Vegas’ premiere alternative rock bands.The talent presented by these locals is worth the ticket to see them. If you like your music with a helping of country and blues and a side of punk, I highly recommend that you catch their show. You won’t be disappointed.

Weekly Country Western Revival Sunday, 09 January 2011 17:17
Written by : Karen Y. Lu
Even though football is coming to an end, Sunday nights are still happening in Henderson. Local classic country band, Whiskey Revival, plays each Sunday evening in the unexpectedly modern and elegant Fortune Club at Club Fortune Casino.
If you like your country western music sung by artists named Hank and Patsy and you don’t know any country western music artists named Garth or Faith, then Whiskey Revival fits you like your favorite pair of Wranglers. A night with this lively six-member band is as close to a night in an authentic honky tonk on the side of a road in rural Texas as we get in southern Nevada. The band plays what they call “outlaw country” and keeps to classic numbers that have not been watered down by the neo-traditional movement of the 80’s started by George Strait and influenced by Urban Cowboy.
On a recent night, Whiskey Revival played to a full crowd of loyal fans. With even just the first few twangs from the pedal steel guitar, blood pressures were lowered and smiles were raised around the lounge. “Amos Moses,” “Whiskey River” and “Fujiyama Mama” were particularly rollicking. And the band is just as pleasing with slow ballads: “Bird On A Wire” and “Faded Love” were standouts and got couples two-stepping on the dance floor. “Sleepwalk” which features the pedal steel guitar was an extra special treat and, as the evening wound down, Kenny Rogers’ “Ruby” was an inspired choice.
Band boss Andy Morris is the colorful founder of the band and is part of a three-generation Henderson family. His father, Barry Morris, also performed around town in acts such as Flashbacks for over twenty years. Paige Overton is the only woman in the band. Paige not only sounds like Patsy Cline, but she also looks like a modern day Vargas Girl with her raven hair, fair skin and dark red lips. Paige’s entire family often attends her performances and her mom Michelle Overton owns the Salon Salon hair studio at the corner of Windmill and Pecos. Thom Ferman is the dedicated pedal steel guitar player who brings the exquisitely heartbreaking twang to the classic numbers. Handsome baby-faced guitar player Matt James, sweetly sheepish bass player Alex LeCavalier and non-conformist Jon Whisenant the percussionist are all equally talented and round out this hard-working band.
Club Fortune Casino does a nice job of hosting from the bar right outside the lounge by offering specials such as $2 Corona bottles and $1.75 Blue Moon drafts. So until your next pilgrimage to the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield or to Willie Nelson’s next Fourth of July Picnic in Fort Worth, keep your boots tapping with this “rootin tootin” band. Whiskey Revival plays in the Fortune Lounge inside Club Fortune Casino (725 South Racetrack Road) from 5:00-9:00 each Sunday. There is no cover charge.

Coastwest Unrest Concert
When:
Friday January 21, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Where:
Winchester Cultural Center, 3130 S. McLeod., Las Vegas, NV
View Map
What:
The alternative music quartet Coastwest Unrest appears in concert at Winchester Cultural Center at 7:00 p.m. Friday, January 21.
At a time when the Las Vegas alternative scene seems particularly vibrant, Coastwest Unrest projects great power, both in Noah Dickie’s lyrics and in the sound of the ensemble. Besides singing, Dickie plays acoustic guitar, upright bass, electric bass, harmonica and mandolin. His brother, Josh, is the group’s drummer. Alex Barnes plays violin and sings, and the band’s newest member is cellist Courtney Thomas. The group seems less an alternative rock band than a renegade art music ensemble.
Not many Las Vegas lyricists reference artist Red Grooms or composers Harry Partch and John Cage. Noah Dickie’s lyrics sweep across America, but focus on the West and Las Vegas itself, from a viewpoint that mixes the intellectual with raw emotion. The music reflects that unblended combination, with Noah’s acoustic folk music repeatedly assaulted by Josh’s punk rock drums, as violin and cello weave a wider musical structure.
The title of the band’s new CD, Old Weird America, is borrowed from a new book by critic Greil Marcus, in which he investigates the roots of Bob Dylan’s music. Coastwest’s roots reach into equally odd and diverse corners of the past. Its music conjures a community of Appalachian beatniks living in Las Vegas. The concert is part of Winchester Cultural Center’s Young Originals concert series.
Singer/songwriter Paige Overton will open the concert. Overton is a singer and guitarist in the alternative country band The Clydesdale, which will appear at Winchester March 4. She sings in the country band Whiskey Revival, which performs regularly at Sam’s Town and Club Fortune, and she just ended a year-long solo gig at the Palms as “Paige of Spades.” At Winchester she will perform her own songs, which fall somewhere in the folk genre. Tom Ferman will back her guitar and voice with his pedal steel guitar.Tickets may be purchased in advance at Winchester Center, 3130 South McLeod Drive. More information may be found at (702) 455-7030.

SOUNDS: Las Vegas Valley musicians share favorite holiday tunes
By JASON BRACELIN
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
JASON BRACELIN
MORE COLUMNS
Las Vegas indie Americana quartet The Clydesdale wishes you a "Blue Christmas."
JOHN LOCHER/LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
Sure, there's peace and love and all that crap, but we all know what Christmas is really about: kickin' out the jams.
So, in the spirit of the season, we thought we'd ask some of Vegas' finest musicians to share their favorite holiday tunes.
Now, if only these guys and gals would show up at your door caroling instead of those frog-voiced neighbor kids.
* * *
"My two all time favorite Christmas songs are Charles Brown's 'Please Come Home for Christmas' (although I will admit The Eagles did a great job on the song as well) and Elvis Presley's 'Blue Christmas.' As a musician, I really relate to more of the darker holiday songs. There are plenty of bells and whistles and children singing, and that's all good and well, but I really like a song that shows that the holidays are human. There are still wants and needs beyond sleigh bells and Santa. These songs really capture the sweet and sorrow of the holidays. They emulate the yearning for something that can't be satisfied through a Black Friday sale or catalog shopping, and that's of a heart that beats for you."
-- Paige Overton, singer, The Clydesdale
* * *
"My own group Fa-Cock-Ta's 'Spin The Dreidel (The Hanukkah Song),' of course. It's Hanukkah, not Christmas, but I do rap about filling the hole in your bagel."
-- Rapper/producer Jewish Dave, Fa-Cock-Ta
* * *
"Gotta go with Nat Cole's version of 'The Christmas Song.' Just an amazing recording of a great song by a great singer, although at my house, the Little Steven garage rock 'Christmas with the Kranks' soundtrack gets a lot of play. Favorite tracks are the Raveonettes' 'The Christmas Song' and 'Hey Santa Claus' by the Chesterfield Kings."
-- Ronald Corso, bassist, A Crowd of Small Adventures
* * *
"Christmas being about kids and family, I'd have to say that 'Christmas Time is Here,' the smooth 'Charlie Brown Christmas' song by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, is a favorite. That song still makes Christmas memories for me. I'm a rock drummer, but also a closet jazz fan, having grown up listening to Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, etc., and the brush work on that song is so smooth and cool and really sets a mood. 'You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch' is a close second, and 'The Little Drummer Boy' for obvious reasons."
-- Joe Perv, drummer for The Lucky Cheats, founder of The Pervz, The Objex, The Tinglerz
* * *
"King Diamond, 'No Presents for Christmas.' During Christmas, people are always jolly and friendly. Imagine those people not getting presents. Well, that's just how this song is. I'd say this is a classic right up there with anything by Bing Crosby."
-- Shannon Frye, drummer/founder, Avenger of Blood
* * *
"My favorite Christmas song has to be 'Merry Christmas Baby' by the Beach Boys. Their whole Christmas album is fantastic. I grew up listening to it every year on my dad's record player. Now I have a vinyl copy of my very own, and you better believe we listened to it this year while we decorated the tree. It's the fastest way to get into the festive spirit. Hands down."
-- Chani Riiell, singer, Dusty Sunshine
* * *
"Alvin & the Chipmunks, 'All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.' I remember when I was a kid and I was missing my two front teeth. I would spit this song all the time (literally). Also, James Brown, 'Soulful Christmas.' Nobody can spice up a song like James Brown. So funky it makes you wanna grab your grandma by the hand and start dancing in front of the Christmas tree."
-- Rapper HighDro
* * *
" 'Mary Did You Know' is one of my favorite Christmas songs. It's amazing to know that lyricist Mark Lowry envisioned what it was like to be Mary, inspiring one of the greatest songs ever written."
-- Vernell Brown Jr., composer/pianist/recording artist
* * *
"Christmas is a wonderful time of year filled with happy, heartwarming, wondrous things like sugar-plum fairies, spiced egg nog, sleigh rides on crisp winter nights and cute little babies being taught the importance of consumerism. Yet, if you took all of the greatest things about Christmas and added them up, the amount of awesomeness would still pale in comparison to the awesomeness that is Chuck Berry. That is why 'Run, Run, Rudolph' is my favorite Christmas song. Chuck Berry: even better than Christmas."
-- Quint Olsen, singer/guitarist, Quint & the Cowpunk Calamity
* * *
"Our favorite Christmas song is a tossup between 'Ding Fries Are Done' (the 'Chorus of the Bells' spoof from 'Family Guy' about working at Burger King) or 'Happy Holidays You Bastard' by Blink-182. We like those simply because they're funny and don't take everything so seriously the way too many people do during the holidays."
-- Ministry of Love
* * *
" 'Mele Kalikimaka' by Reel Big Fish. During this time of year, the spirit of Christmas latches onto us like peanut butter and snow. It's not only a time for joy and peace, but a time for songs and music. RBF's version of this Hawaiian classic takes it to a whole new level, bringing joy and ska-wesomeness, leaving you with a plethora of good times. Have a merry Christmas everyone and a happy New Year. Aloha!"

Meet Whiskey Revival. More like get reacquainted. The cover band’s six members are already familiar faces on the local music scene. Vocalist Paige Overton is best known for fronting popular country folksters The Clydesdale, while vocalist Andrew Morris, drummer Jon Whisenant and bassist Alex LeCavalier share a stage together in Irish-pub cover group Darby O’Gill and the Little People. Lead guitarist Matt James plays with jam band Cherry Hill, and pedal-steel player Thom Ferman is a member of rockabilly outfit Jaxy & The 357s. Those distinct styles meshed together might sound like a strange cup of tea, but it actually makes for one solid shot of Whiskey.
What kinda Revival?: Breathing new life into classic country—we’re talking the ’70s and prior (think Patsy Cline and Waylon Jennings). “These songs are already established as hits,” Overton explains, “so it’s kind of fun to have your own take on something that already made its way into the world.”
Stomping grounds: Whiskey Revival has the next two Sunday nights—June 20 and 27—lined up at Club Fortune Casino (725 S. Racetrack Road) from 4-8 p.m. The group’s ultimate goal is to hit the casinos. “We’d like to play on the Strip more than anything,” Overton says. “You have more of a chance to fall on some ears that weren’t expecting you to be there ... [but] right now we’re testing the waters.”
Why get busier?: Whiskey Revival’s members—particularly Overton, who already has a side project, solo lounge act Paige of Spades—all have plenty on their musical to-do list. Guess there’s no such thing as too many gigs. “This gives me the outlet to have fun with the charming country music that I love so much,” Overton explains. “And it’s way better than karaoke.”
This evening in Las Vegas at the Thunderbird Lounge in the Aruba Hotel it's THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS. We wind up the first leg of the Rumble run of shows (the 6th party in 7 nights) starting at 8:30pm tonight, so pull your mothers off the craps tables and over to see this FREE show that will work off the buffet you leveled.
Our traveling wilburys THE FEROCIOUS FEW and San Diego's LITTLE DEADMAN shake off the rust from last night's gig at Bar Pink in San Diego and join up with local favorite THE CLYDESDALE and DJ REX DART. Las Vegas City Life just did this nice feature on TFF that provides some insight into their 'busking lifestyle' - read it here. Our friends at Neon Reverb tipped us on LV's The Clydesdale so we're intrigued to catch it ourselves. “(The Clydesdale) Sounds like the soundtrack to a western directed by Quentin Tarantino” - Rolling Stone Magazine
The Rumble Las Vegas is brought to you by Future Sounds, Neon Reverb, KUNV and Las Vegas CityLife.

Extradition Music
Clydesdale at the Ale House
Posted in Extradition 2010 show, Rail City Ale House, The Clydesdale, Uncategorized by Extradition Music on May 15, 2010
Last night we had our latest Extradition Music show with The Clydesdale out of Las Vegas, Nevada. They played a two-hour set last night at the Rail City Ale House to a, shall we say, intimate but appreciative audience. This was a make-up show for us–weather kept them from coming to Reno for one of our shows back in January–and we are so grateful that we were able to take them up on the rain check.
I’ve been listening to The Clydesdale on their MySpace page since a friend from Vegas told me about them last year. I’ve always liked their recorded sound, but I was simply blown away by what they sound like in person. They are, without a doubt, the real thing. They mix all of the greats–Elvis, Merle, Cash, Owens, and more–with their own unique, snarling sound for what is, in my opinion, some of the best live music I’ve seen in a very long time.
Paige Overton, the lead singer/rhythm guitarist, is probably the biggest reason for that. She may be one of the most enjoyable singers around the alt-country scene today. She belts out old country standards, and their new rockabilly/punk/country songs. The rest of her band–Andrew, Jason, and Courtney–are certainly no slouches either. They bring a personality with them that isn’t what you might think of when you think of Vegas Cowpunk.
We certainly want to get The Clydesdale back to Reno again sometime for an even bigger audience. They really killed it, and we really appreciate them playing an Extradition show.
Rumor has it that the Clydesdale just maybe opening up at the Rio Casino and Hotel on July 2nd for the (Country Great) Waylon Jennings Son... "Shooter" Jennings..
Sin-damn-sational!!!!!

Well, well, well…here I go again with two shows on the same night. You’d think that I would have learned my lesson
The two shows were Bon Jovi at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and Dick Dale at the new Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip just a short walk away.
I joined in with all of the other 16,000 or so fans in the sold-out arena taking pictures and video. Take a look at the videos of both Bon Jovi and Dick Dale here.
After the show we walked around the corner and onto the Strip to the new Hard Rock Cafe to see the legendary guitarist Dick Dale.
We got there while the local band, The Clydesdale, were still playing and I immediately fell in love with this rockabilly four-piece band. Led by the stunning and sassy Paige Overton who looks and sounds like a cross between Betty Paige and June Carter Cash and plays rhythm guitar quite nicely. The rest of the band consists of Courtney Carroll (drums), Jason Aragon (bass) and Andrew Karasa (guitar).
Their sound is quite fresh and I would consider the genre as rockabilly, however there’s also a straight on classic folk/country feel to their all original and quite catchy songs.
Upcoming Vegas shows are March 11 at 7pm and at The Griffin on March 27 at 8pm at The Farm and I highly recommend checking them out.

Hi Paige. So glad you enjoyed my mini review. I had only planned on mentioning Bon Jovi and Dick Dale but you and your band were so awesome I just had to mention The Clydesdale as well. You and your band are so amazingly talented and I really look forward to catching your show again soon! Take care and PLEASE keep up the good work!
Best regards,

The fourth album from local alt-country mainstay The Clydesdale finds powerhouse singer Paige Overton stepping aside for guitarist and fellow singer Andrew Karasa, who here takes the lead on more than half of the 11 tracks (whereas before he’d only handled a few). Overton’s rich, evocative tones are seriously missed, although the four songs she does helm are strong (especially the lively “Wanted Man”).
The Clydesdale Karasa isn’t a bad singer, but his voice is less distinctive, and too many of his songs are jokey larks (“You Ain’t Good Enough for My Sister,” the weirdly crass “Elton John”), while others never take off. The two singers trade verses on the atmospheric narrative “The Will,” which manages to combine all the band’s strengths into a roiling country ballad. A little more of that, and a little less goofing off, would have made Clementine as rewarding an experience as The Clydesdale’s excellent live shows.

Could the Sept. 19 Bunkhouse teaming up of Leopold and His Fiction and The Clydesdale be any better? Leopold’s dark mix of Delta blues and fast shotgun rock music is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin in its deep-rooted tones, and just as loud and original as those acts were 30 years ago. The Clydesdale may be the first band to make me take country music seriously. It incorporates all those wild western themes into rock ‘n’ roll as hard and exciting as a gunfight. Seeing how its new CD, Clementine, also was being released at the show, it was fairly obvious why the turnout was so healthy at the BH, The Clydesdale living up to its reputation as one of the top acts in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas band; The Clydesdale, give an unforgettable performance in Reno
August 31, 11:29
"The Clydesdale "Early Saturday morning the four band members and faithful friend and roadie, of the band "The Clydesdale", began the long journey to Reno from Las Vegas. Their destination: Davidson’s Distillery on 4th Sreet downtown Reno.
Even after the long trip, The Clydesdale put on a most memorable performance. With a notable alternative-country type of tune matched by the strong and sensuous vocals, had me tapping my toes and by end of the show, drunk and fired up.
From the sound check, a fiery rendition of Johnny Cash’s "I Shot a man in Reno", til the end of their second set, the band had the crowded, small, and dirty biker bar all riled up. Combining the unique sounds of lead guitarist Andrew Karasa’s slide guitar, great percussions from Courtney Carroll, to a solid bass guitarist Jason Aragon, and the emotional and sweet vocals from Paige Overton on rhythm guitar, made for an awesome live punk country show.
The Clydesdale, performed many of their distinctive original songs from their latest album "Dia de Los Muertos". One of my favorite songs being; "Unibrow- Part 3". And their best would have to be the song; "Dia de Los Muertos".
This live show was one of the most unforgettable performances I’ve been to in a long time, worth seeing again and again. I t made my heart sink when their trusty roadie, Jeff, loaded up the van for the trip back to Vegas.
So go pick up a copy of "Dia de Los Muertos" and help out a great band, who are in it for all the right reasons. You won’t be disappointed. Keep your eyes and ears open for their next album, soon to be released. And if ever in Vegas, look this band up for a great show.

Reba did a fine FANCY..so did Bobbie.
Crow...she will do just fine..she wants me to help her come up with some music that she can learn..I always like the way she sang Fever..she want's to expand she learned a few Beatles tunes but I think she should sing a little Bobby Gentry..
No band with her? Kinda hard to come up with two hours worth of material playing alone.
But I betcha she can do it..with MAMAs help.
