For my music ethnography I am going to Cowboys Red River located in Dallas. They play country music for the most part but occasionally play other things like hip hop, rap, and pop music. I am interviewing Garrett Lindley, a bouncer who has worked at the club on and off for several years and is also a regular there when he is not working. Jason Ashely is the lead singer for the house band, Runnin' Behind. His singing is not super twangy like some male country singers but its still got that country feel. The house band has a 2 lead vocalists, Jason Ashley and Todd Stewart who also plays fiddle and rhythm guitar. There is also a lead guitarist with back up vocals, a steel guitarist, drummer, bass player, and keyboard player who also does back up vocals. This provides for a wide range of country songs and sounds.
