Company Townes

Raised on the Bakersfield honky tonk of Buck Owens and traditional country like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, Dwight Yoakam has created more than a dozen studio albums of his own self-described hillbilly music over nearly four decades. On his 2012 collection, “3 Pears,” the Kentucky-born performer reached out to Kid Rock and Ashley Monroe of Pistol Annies for co-writing help on a couple songs, while Beck co-produced the successful set. Ticket buyers know a slew of Yoakam singles when they head to his concerts — from the chart-topping “Guitars Cadillacs” from the similarly-titled 1986 debut and “I Sang Dixie” off of 1988’s “Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room” to 1993’s “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere.” And when he’s not on the tour bus canvassing the nation, the singer/songwriter may be on a movie set. His acting credits include critically acclaimed roles as an abusive boyfriend in “Sling Blade” and a psychopath killer in “Panic Room.” OPENING ACT: Company Townes is a country & western band from rural northwestern Pennsylvania. Following their debut album, Canyon(2016), Co.Townes released a collection of reimagined Townes Van Zandt classics entitled “Van Zandt” in April of 2019. The band is currently recording their third full-length album of original material brimming with psychedelic visions and Western myths. Company Townes features Jody Aiello on guitar and lead vocals, Sara Aiello on bass and vocals, Eric Morelli on lead guitar and vocals, and Nate Blick on drums and vocals.
