You don't need to be from the South to understand Billy Wayne Davis' particular brand of humor, but being the Nashvillians we are (both transplanted and native), this up-and-comer is one of our favorite used-to-be local (and soon-to-go-global) stand-up comedians. Davis has gone from surprising crowds at the comedy club down the road with his "like-hillbill-ity," to winning over the alt comedy scene of Seattle, to hangin' with Marc Maron and working with the likes of Lisa Lampanelli, Louis CK, and Mitch Hedberg since his most recent move to Los Angeles.
Third Man Records is pleased as punch to welcome Tennessee's much-missed "thinking man's hillbilly" to our stage for a little Southern hospitality and to record another addition to what is becoming a pretty formidable series of live comedy records. Some of our absolute favorite releases over the past seven years have been made without the use of a single guitar, and we expect Billy Wayne Davis Live at Third Man Records to join those very ranks.
Another formerly local hero (and current brain behind the hilarious Nashville Scene column Advice King) Chris Crofton as well as the perfectly irreverent, fast-rising, bar-fighting, North Carolinian writer/comedian Erin Dewey Lennox will grease the wheels. Get your $10 tickets now, and join us on May 17th for the laugh you know you need. Really... You seem stressed. Pre-show grill-out on the patio (beers! hot dogs! fun!) at 6pm. Show starts at 8pm. See you then.
When should we expect the record from this show? I’ve been trying to be patient but it’s not my virtue
This show was fabulous!! All of comics were great! We laughed non-stop & were thrilled to find out it was being recorded & available to us on vinyl. I have been wanting to visit TMR for a long time & this was the perfect 1st experience (minus seeing Jack White). We were on a road trip from OKC to the Smoky Mountains, just stopped over in Nashville & picked this as our thing to do there. No regrets & the best damn T.P. on the whole trip!! Thank you TMR for this experience!!
If I seem stressed it’s only because I can’t find a way to roll my goddamned eyes in text, and I really feel the need, but this entire show will be BOFFO. Erin Dewey Lennox does us North Carolinians proud, and I’m going to track down some Chris Crofton right NAOW.
i love that TMR is steppin out into the lane with comedy…. i go back and listen to my old cosby albums from time to time to remind me of all the possibilities of vinyl and it makes me glad to see them keep the tradition alive and strong…. i think Waylon would salute their solution also……… Lord it’s the same old tune, fiddle and guitar……
Where do we take it from here?….
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars…….
It’s been the same way for years……..
We need to change…………
Somebody told me when I came to Nashville……
Son you finally got it made……
Old Hank made it here, we’re all sure that you will…….
But I don’t think Hank done it this way, no……..
I don’t think Hank done it this way, okay…..
Ten years on the road, making one night stand…..
Speeding my young life away…….
Tell me one more time just so I’ll understand……
Are you sure Hank done it this way?
Did old Hank really do it this way?
My friends in ATL said he KILLED! I can’t wait to hear the album.
I’d be all over a Maron Live Series from the Blue Room rekkid.
Neat! Also, Maron should do a live record at Third Man.
I hear this guy is really funny…
Thanks for the link to his WTF episode, will check him out that way. Getting to the point that I trust Maron to turn me on to new stuff almost as much as I trust Jack and TMR for that.
