Live Music at Stanley’s: The Texas Gentlemen (April 25)
While The Texas Gentlemen’s sound is clearly steeped in the classic roots, rock and pop music of the ‘60s and ‘70s, there’s a dreamy (the lilting “Sing Me to Sleep”), spacey (“Skyway Streetcar”) and occasionally progressive (the groovy instrumental journey “Dark at the End of the Tunnel”) element to what they do that seems to detach the music from belonging to any particular place and time. Add in elements of funk, soul, country, r&b, southern rock, gospel and essentially any other style that catches their musically omnivorous ears, along withan expansive and detailed approach to arrangement that sees the songs adorned with all manner of horns, strings and heavenly background vocals. for tickets click here https://www.stanleysfamous.com/live-music/
