Saddle up for Dale Watson's Swang Thang with Twang! This electrifying show at Parker Jazz Club brings the honky-tonk heat with award-winning country legend Dale Watson, who's been strummin' and pickin' for over 40 years.

Dale's shared stages with icons like Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Catch him on TV from David Letterman to Austin City Limits, but he's mostly out touring the globe, preservin' that pure country roots sound. With 30+ albums under his belt, he even built his own Wat-sun Studio in Memphis usin' the original 1937 Sun Studio board—talk about authenticity!

We had such a blast the first time, we're makin' it a regular shindig. Come whoop it up in an intimate spot perfect for real music lovers. Note: 21+ venue, so grab your boots and get ready to swang!
