The Merles

Honky-tonk done right

About Me

The Merles are a classic honky-tonk band. We love to hang and play songs by Hank, Merle, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Ernest Tubb, etc. We're happy to play your local watering hole, party, event and back porch. Drop us a line and we'll rock around the clock! Hell, if you bring the ‘Thibodaux’ and the ‘Fontaineaux,’ we’ll get the place ‘a buzzin.’
