Longhorn brings live country music to Barnes City
BARNES CITY — The Longhorn Saloon in the town of Barnes City, population 156, is the place to be for some downhome good country music and cold refreshments Saturday, Sept. 26. Siraj Thomason, owner of the local restaurant and bar, is hosting a country music concert featuring headliner act Austin Meade and two other performers. Meade, a Texas-born artist and son of a Baptist preacher who took his son to rock concerts, gained his first experience playing guitar in the church when his father handed him an acoustic guitar and had him learn songs for the church band which at the time lacked a guitarist. He first made a name for himself as an artist with music that blended vintage hard rock and heartland rock influences with Americana-styled songcraft with such songs as “Loser Mentality,” “Slim Pickins,” ‘Rio Grande,” “Varsity Type,” “Red Roof Estates,” “Happier Alone,” “Violation Delight,” “Rain Dancin’,” “Dial Tone,” and “Queen of the Letdown.” Meade has five studio albums, three EPs and a host of singles. The outdoor concert is being held just north of the Longhorn Saloon. Parking will be east of the Longhorn and the Co-op in Barnes City, if needed. The evening event gets
