Grossman says his proudest career highlight so far was having Walt Wilkins in the producer’s chair on their latest album “Coming Back Around.” On the live front, when you stand in front of the stage at a SAINTS ELEVEN show, your senses are overrun by contrasting elements that hook your attention and keep you there. Your ears are seduced by the sounds of vintage honky-tonk music mixed with electrified bluegrass, but the rest of your senses are taken hostage by four guys who play with an energy fueled by years of a heavy rock n' roll influence. The very first thing anyone will talk about when the topic of SAINTS ELEVEN comes up is their live show moxie. Headlining the Event is Truck Stop Gamblers, a country band playing music with Rockabilly, Southern Rock, Blues and Texas Red Dirt flavor. The band consists of 4 members, each with a variety of musical influences–from a lead guitarist (Drew Hudson) who was brought up on Stevie Ray Vaughn to a lead singer (Logan Gray) who was raised on Gary Stewart and other country classics. With Albums including “Made for You,” Fort Worth Sound Acoustic Sessions,” “Here,” and “Waisted Again” they are in extreme demand as they are currently based in Granbury, Texas and steadily book shows at clubs, fund raisers and private parties in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. They have established a large, loyal fan base that is excited to have them on home turf. Dooley continued, “There is always something to do in Granbury and this another example of an event we want to grow into a multi-day event. Plans are beginning as we consider a two-day festival/event in 2020 when we hope to include a community dinner on the boardwalk, boat rides and more fun on the lake. A multi-day event will encourage additional overnight tourism and falls in line with our Cities Strategic Vision for tourism and utilization of Lake Granbury. Come enjoy this festival under the stars on Beautiful Lake Granbury.” For questions and schedule updates about the event contact Visit Granbury 817-573-5548 www.visitgranbury.com or Lake Granbury Conference Center 682-936-1200 www.lakegranburyconferencecenter.org
