Recitals can often feel rigid and lacking in spontaneity, with artists sticking closely to the predetermined script. However, Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen are not your typical performers. These Texas country veterans have spent their careers tearing up dance halls and lighting up bars all over the Lone Star state. On Wednesday, they will bring their lively and unpredictable show, “Hold My Beer & Watch This,” to the House of Blues Dallas.
Both Rogers and Bowen have hectic touring schedules apart from their shows together. Bowen recently returned to Texas after a festival in Washington, while Rogers called in from Colorado. Rogers believes that being too perfect on stage can suck the fun out of the performance. He wants to expose himself and show his soul through his music, proving that it is meant to be experienced live, not pre-recorded. “Hold My Beer & Watch This” is all about authenticity and embracing the unexpected. It’s a brotherhood between Rogers and Bowen, and you never know what surprises lie in store.
Last month, the duo performed a “Hold My Beer” show at Billy Bob’s Texas to celebrate the release of their third record in the series. This latest EP features six songs, with the final track, “Dumb Kids,” offering a new perspective and a departure from the typical drinking songs that dominate their projects. Bowen believes that this song allows them to show a different side of themselves, while Rogers feels it provides a deeper look into their artistic psyches.
Rogers and Bowen have been friends for decades and have been creating “Hold My Beer” records since 2015. They have also released two live albums from their “Hold My Beer” shows. During the House of Blues Dallas performance, fans can expect a mix of “Beer” tracks, Bowen’s solo material, and songs from The Randy Rogers Band. The show is unscripted, which allows the duo to change it up each year and introduce new songs into the setlist.
In true “Hold My Beer” fashion, fans may be wondering about the duo’s favorite brews. Bowen is a fan of Shiner Light Blonde, along with the seasonal Shiners. Rogers, on the other hand, proudly claims his love for the stronger Shiner Bock. So, grab a cold one and get ready to experience the unforgettable energy and camaraderie of Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen at the House of Blues Dallas on August 16th.
Tickets are available for purchase, so don’t miss your chance to be a part of this incredible show. If you can’t make it to the Dallas performance, you can catch them in Corpus Christi on August 18th and in Helotes on August 19th. Whether you’re a fan of Texas country music or simply looking for a night of pure entertainment, “Hold My Beer & Watch This” promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
