Howdy friends, Come on down to the Kendall for Hellcountry Sunday (3/14) for the Pineapple Ranch Hands! Here's what they had to say about the gig... We'll be Swingin' the HulaWestern style at this week's HellCountry from about 8:45 PM to 10:45 PM. Admission's free and the food's great, so come on down to HellCountry (where the beer flows like fizzy brown Hawaiian stream) and hula your blues away with the Pineapple Ranch Hands. For more info about the Ranch Hands, read on, friend, read on. _____________________________________________ The Pineapple Ranch Hands is a six-piece outfit playing steel-guitar-based Hawaiian style favorites from the 20’s through the 50’s and on. Mixing hulas, island chants and marches, with jazz, swing and western tunes, their repertoire follows the stream of steel guitar and pumping rhythm that flows through all these styles. The band features John "Keoni" Johnson on the big guitar, Steve "Kiwi" Bird on bass, Scott "Koka" Rogers on drums, Phil "Pilippo" Mahoney on the not-so-big guitar, Pacey "Palani" Foster on the uke, and leading the whole group gently down the stream is Tim "Kimo" Obetz on various and sundry steel guitars. Close harmony vocals and the occasional peanut gallery chorus round out the sound. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ upcoming "HELLCOUNTRY SUNDAYS" at the Kendall.
