other bands?
Big Dad Ritch: We are
like Texas Chili, know
what I mean? You never
know what to expect
when you have Texas
Chili. We bring that Southern Rock and Roll feel to the
stage and in our music. We also bring that heavy metal
feel with a little dash of Cash in there if you know what
I'm saying. I think all of that combined is the reason we
are able to play with Country acts like David Allen Coe and
Cross Canadian Ragweed but also classic rock like Nazereth, Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynyrd. We also do shows
different ways, just like
music, is there a particular
song that is more difficult
to play live?
Big Dad Ritch: Nothing is
challenging for these guys
because they are so badass!
