"Bob was on the schedule (2005 Oregon Jamboree) with Miranda Lambert, Hot Apple Pie, LoneStar & Merle Haggard. The band did a wonderful job for us. They have an authentic sound just like you would hear in the Honky-Tonk clubs of Nashville or Austin. Bob Manning & Nashville West are pros and our audience responded enthusiastically."
