The choppers were all chromed out, the girls were all dressed up, and the crowd was large! It was a beautiful day at Strokers Ice House on 9304 Harry Hines Blvd. in Dallas As the Alan Fox Band took the stage and quickly started to bring the attention of the 1500 people to the stage. The East Texas band played a selection of music that tastefully showed the on looking audience just how classic rock and blues is supposed to sound. “It’s hard to be calm when the band sounds picture perfect”, said one new fan of the Alan Fox band. I just have to say, “that just about sums it up!” The Alan Fox Band, from the edge of Texas, in Longview. Don’t miss them when they come back in town.
