Jason Boland And The Stragglers

Jason Boland and his band, that are affectionately known as ‘The Stragglers’, have been a Country powerhouse for quite some time now. Having met founding member Brad Rice in their university days, the duo have come a long way, adding members and becoming one of the most successful artists in the Texas County scene. Now with some well charted albums under their belt, they look to make an impact every time they take to the stage.

With some skilful fiddle playing and stunning lap steel work, there’s no shortage of melody in Jason’s music. The different melodies playfully interact with each other, bouncing lead lines round the stage all while the rhythm section tumbles along, forming the sturdy core of their live sound. Jason’s voice is powerful but raw and carries with it a level of emotion and hurt that really helps the songs to speak to the crowd and make a connection. Jason Boland and the Stragglers are a sturdy live act whose lush country sound is only going to see them getting more popular as time goes on.

It was a wonderful event!! The sound was great, Jason Boland was his usual great self. I really love the venue. The theater has been improved even since the last time we were there. Love the stair seeting in the GA portion. I always stand up for the entire show when Jason is playing and it was perfect. The two opening acts were very impressive also. Please bring Jason Boland and the Stragglers back soon. Also other similar bands, ie Jack Ingram, Randy Rodgers, etc.

Jason Boland and the Stragglers are fantastic. These guys are amazing...they sound like the album every time. Their shows are so consistent and awesome!!! They have a new steel guitarist, but you'd never know. Great show!!!
