Catfish Whiskey Announces Summer Tour Dates

Let's go Catfishin'!

Hey kids, if you wanna catch a Catfish Whiskey show in Fort Worth, then you'd best do it this Thursday, May 11th at the Moon Bar, cuz the band heads out on their summer tour on May 18th.

"Catfish Whiskey staggered onto the Fort Worth music scene back in the summer of 2003 when singer/songwriter Keegan McInroe had a chance meeting and jam session one evening with former drummer, Matt Lombard, during one of McInroe's early solo shows. With the bar's old, worn out drum kit sitting behind him, McInroe had a few drinks and decided to invite Lombard onstage to join him. The two decided there was some chemistry there. Soon, Lombard introduced Michael Maftean to McInroe, and the three aspiring musician's began working to get a band together. Travis Dixon, McInroe's roomate at the time, joined in on bass shortly thereafter, and Tripp Mathis showed up in early May 2004 and never left. Matt Lombard left the band in late 2005."

"Catfish Whiskey's music is a soulful blend of rock and roll, blues, country, and folk, reminiscent of some of the classic Southern rock bands, delta blues musicians, and old school country outlaws of the past. Yet, CW manages to acheive a voice all its own. As the name denotes, Catfish Whiskey prides themselves on a very distinct and rootsy sound. Ranging from smooth and mellow, to rough and dirty, to downright funky CW has a tendency to play on all levels of emotion during a night's work. Catfish Whiskey thrives in the live performances of the smoke-filled bar rooms and low lit clubs which they frequent, always giving a unique and raw edge to whatever might be on the setlist that night. Every show is an experience all its own."

Tell your pals that this great Southern Rock/Blues band is a'headin' your way and ya'll do your best to catch a live show!
