Now many people ask me what is Tex's Smokehaus.
Some have called it a broken down barn,which i take exception.
Others call it the ultimate party room!
This is an outdoor event, on my farm property, this is not a resturant or WOODSTOCK.

LAWN CHAIRS AND TENTS WELCOME!
Performing Artists are to arrive between 11 am to 12. If you arrive later thats ok. The line-up is determined on a first come first served basis, so if you are the first to arrive you will have the first choice of set times between 11 am to 5pm. 6pm is slotted for the headliner. Due to bogus bookings, acts will not be listed on the bill who have not previously played the smokehaus. One joker out there has spoiled it for everybody.
Our shows are videotaped and rebroadcast on the internet.
Artists are under no obligation to be recorded.
We are under no obligation to record or broadcast the artist.
THERE ARE NO FEES TO THE ARTIST TO PLAY THE SMOKEHAUS
THIS IS A PAYING GIG, ONLY IF YOU BRING OUT SOME OF YOUR FANS.
All details are listed on this page. Confirmation of your appearance about a week before your appearance is appreciated,
It is not necessary to let us know of a cancellation.
We encourage artists looking for some of their first live performance experience to come on down.
Jammers and walk ins welcome. Everyone who shows to play will get to play. Acts we have broadcast..
font color="RED">GET YOUR TEX'S SMOKEHAUS TICKET HERE
Heh cowpokes, here is an opportunity to make some Tex Dollars. We will pay out $5 for each ticketed person you bring out to the shows! Print the tex ticket or distribute on line. Place the name of your act on the back of the ticket. Pay outs within 30 days. We would like to see all artists get something in return for all their hard work! The main reason you should come out is to have a good time! It is a good chance to network with other artists. If everybody makes an effort to promote this show we will all have a more enjoyable experience.
Arrive early! We reserve the right to alter this schedule and refuse any act,
we feel would be offensive to the general public.
No beer, wine or hard liquor to be brought on the property!
SET LENGTH AND OTHER STUFF
15-30-40 minute sets appropriate. Be flexible. BRING YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT. This includes amps and drums. We will supply a basic PA, sure mic's, misc xlr and 1/4" cabling, microphone stands. Those acts/bands who prefer their own PA system (LOUD IS GOOD) we encourage you to bring it, then you can have total control of your sound. Your choice. We shall assume no responsibility for equipment brought to the shows. This is a public event, so if anything gets damadged or goes amiss, it is entirely your problem. Those who show the most intituative, and friendly attitude, will be granted maximum playing time, and more.
Relax and enjoy the outing. Look forward to making some new friends!
P.S....Bands that make no effort to bring out their own fans, will be dumped from the bill.
We expect you to bring out a minimum of 5 fans for a solo act and 10 for a full band, this way you can cover your expenses and ours as well.
