Ten Foot Tall and 80 Proof (No. 502)

First Aired Thursday, April 22, 2010

"11th & Grant" presents 10 Foot Tall and 80 Proof, a honky-tonk band, with a style somewhere between country, rock 'n' roll, ragtime, and boogie. American popular music is an amalgamation of styles, musicians from different backgrounds finding one another and merging their musical tastes into newly invented approaches. 10 Foot Tall and 80 Proof performs music associated with Honky Tonk bars in the American South and southwest. They are in high demand, touring all over the western United States, and now bring their punchy dance music to "11th & Grant."
