Wonky Tonk

About Me

There was once upon a time a tiny soy bean that was left out in the cold. One whole year of snowy, wintery mix passed and that soy bean was very lonely, forgotten and fuh fuh fuh fureezing. Now as a general rule of thumb, no bean, soy or not, should be treated as such. So! When the sun finally came oot to play and warmed the earth, that tiny soy bean sprouted and said: "I AM WONKY TONK. Listen and ye shall be filled with the nutrient of happy." Doot Doot DootAnd that is how it all began.

Wonky Tonk has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with superstars like Langhorne Slim and the War Eagles, Paleface, The Sundresses, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Rachael Goodrich, Amanda Green, Sunset Rubdown, Chick Pimp Coke Dealer at a Bar, The Evangelicals, The Antlers and American War.
Wonky Tonk has also played 2008 Midpoint Music Festival, 2008 Brink Music Festival and was nominated as Best New Artist for the 2008 Cincnnati Entertainment Awards!
