Patsy’s Honky Tonk Torch & Twang
Country music the way it oughta be!
Patsy Stephens and The Hall Brothers, as Patsy’s Honky Tonk Torch & Twang, perform classic country and honky tonk music in the Baltimore/Washington and surrounding area. They mix it up with some other styles thrown in for good measure…a little Western swing, some rockabilly, 50s/60s rock ‘n’ roll, a few jazz standards, and plenty of Patsy Cline! “We have it all…a little torch…a little twang!”
Patsy’s Honky Tonk Torch & Twang was nominated by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) for a 2014 Wammie for Best Country Band, and our own Chick Hall, Jr. won yet another Wammie for Best Country Instrumentalist for 2014. We were also nominated in 2015 for: Best Country Vocalist (Patsy), Best Country Band, and Best Country Instrumentalist (Chick).
Patsy’s band: The fabulous Hall Brothers…WAMA award winner Chick Hall Jr. and Chris Hall, come from a musical background…their father, Chick Hall Sr., owned and operated Chick Hall’s Surf Club in Hyattsville, Maryland. They grew up playing music in a honky tonk! You can’t get more real than that. Chick Hall, Jr. has won numerous Wammie awards for his stellar guitar playing, and has played guitar on tour for some famous singers and musicians - Ronnie Dove, Johnny Lee, Lori Morgan and Ace Cannon! We have Tommy Auldridge on pedal steel. Tommy also came from a musical family. (Tommy’s brother, the late Mike Auldridge, played Dobro for the Seldom Scene.) And, keeping the beat on drums is Mike Toole. All excellent musicians!
