Dale Watson at Launchpad

Dale Watson has been keeping real honky-tonk alive since before it was fashionable to care about that, and a Launchpad show puts him in a room where the PA can actually handle a steel guitar at volume. Launchpad’s long and narrow floor means almost every spot in the house is closer to the stage than you’d expect, which matters with a performer who works the whole front end of the room. Mozzy Dee opens, so arrive before you think you need to.
