Speaker 1 (00:08):
I love this day every year the State Fair of
Texas get your primed and pumped for the fall season.
In summer, yeah, just slowed down the middle of the week, like, Hey,
here's our music lineup for the State Fur and uh,
I tell you, there's some big names on this one,
some big names. But let's go chronologically. It's a little
easier to remember. The Fair will begin Fridays.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Because it isn't usually the biggest show opening day and
last day.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
On the main stage, Caitlin Butts and Wade Bowen, Country
Gay Wade.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Bone both country people. I like Wade Bone.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Wade Bone is also a guy who's played the I
think he's playing the Only Country Club on July fourth,
So like my hometown. So the State Fair Only Country
Club shows you how far only has come?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
What's up with Kate Butts? I don't know Caitlyn Butts,
look it up. Okay, you like her better than Kate,
but I mean, I'm none of a Kate Bush fan. So
it depends on what decade.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right Saturday, the twenty seventh, Fat Daddy opening up for TLC.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Wait, how do they do TLC? Wouldn't it just be
TC Okay, that's a whole different thing. If TC goes out.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
There, I mean, do they have another left eye that's
replaced her?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Dude? What if it was TC performing TLC. Oh, that's
being very incredible. That would be incredible. We're interested in that. Yeah, TLC.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Well, you know if you had a band that was
a group or whatever that was wildly popular back in
the day, and you don't want to work a real
job now, you would just go get a replacement, kind
of like.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Nah, dog, you gotta be t bos and Chili they
gotta be TC. You can't replace left.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Eye, dude, Yeah, she's dead, so you have to I mean,
you can't replace mercury.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So you get the one American idol. Get a wrapper,
big extra plug do they put that?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Does he have to wear that condom on his glasses?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yes? Come on, man, Why did they do that?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
They were just out there juggling condoms in their first videos.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Moving over to Monday, September twenty ninth, this is just
a test of how much any of you know THEO Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think he's the brother of Joey. WHOA, who's THEO Lawrence?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
It sounds like some country guy, THEO Lawrence and the Hearts.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
He looks like the Fawns. Yeah, he does. I just
saw a picture of it. Looks like the Fawns. I'm
voting pop artists.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, if it's and the Hearts, it probably And if
he looks like the Fawns, maybe it's like a retro
do watch.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Tuesday the thirtieth, Ben, does your wife have an alter ego?
Cat Hasty?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay, so that's when Ben's wife makes a rash decision.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Cat Hasty appears to be country. Maybe. I don't know.
It's hard to really tell. This is incredible reporting.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Monday, Tuesday, you're really not worried about that, But then
you get to Wednesday. Hell yeah, Eagle listeners. Medalachi, Oh,
this is dope. Medalachi is dope. Medaalachi is great. It's
basically heavy metal covers done in mariachi style.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, they need to do that at a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You know, they have the mariachi bands at certain ones.
Get the medalachi out there, you get that cranking.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Willow Avalon will get it on Wednesday the second. I
hope she has a good time out there. Friday night,
can't believe it. Someone at four pm named DJ. So
maybe it's like a TVD situation.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
What if her old buddy DJ Pridemore is out there
doing a setup. But then after that Brian McKnight. I
like Brian mcnight. I last saw him in a Chili's commercial.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Nineties R and B. It is a song that everyone
knows on.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
To me, dude, I would say anytime, that's like one
of the best R and B songs in the last
twenty years, maybe thirty years.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
How old is he? Anytime is the jam? He's got
to be sixty? Now have you heard of Dylan Gossip? No?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
No, he gets to go On Saturday the fourth, pulled
up a video of him and he's holding an acoustic guitar.
Tells me a little about him. Moving on to Sunday
the fifth, someone called La Mafia.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Look we're building up here, dude. La Mafia is huge.
We start. I'm serious. La Mafia is a big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
DJ's opening up for them at four too. Okay, I
hope it should be, but it's hard to know.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Monday, October sixth, Joshua ray Walker, big deal absolutely is.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And I think state Fair Records used to have something
to do with booking some of these acts, so it
makes sense.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh, it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wednesday, October eighth, the ACDC cover band Back in Black.
But this is the for me the headliner, Thursday October ninth.

happen to play that night.

Fair of Texas.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yes. Is it all the original cast or just people
dressed up? It's whoever they can get to do the gig.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Honestly, I mean, come on, you guys were so quick
to replace left Eye earlier. You don't think they can't
find some gay dudes to get oiled up and put
on a construction worker outfit.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's easy. We can find them. Yeah, we can find them.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Didn't the original lead singer claim hen Man, I wasn't gay. Yeah,
I was just hanging out with all those gay guys
singing gay anthems.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But it wasn't me. Saturday the eleventh, Paul Wall Oh dude,
he just played Legacy Hall.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Who I just missed the other day on the show
because I thought he was Sean Paul.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Sean Paul was actually bigger than Paul Wall Home.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Though, Paul wall is doper than Sean Paul Paul Wall's Great.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
