Boston based Girls, Guns and Glory has grown beyond its hometown to play honky-tonks, beer joints and most recently concert venues throughout the U.S., according to a news release from the Kirby Center.
Rolling Stone called the band “modern-day Buddy Holly plus Dwight Yoakam divided by the Mavericks.”
Kelsey Waldon, the news release said, wears her influence on her sleeve from Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn to bluegrass greats Ralph Stanley and Ricky Skaggs. Her 2014 debut “The Goldmine” was received warmly by critics and fans alike.
