Things To Do In The St. Croix River Valley

Wayne "The Train" Hancock
at the Dalles House
Saturday night, August 26
St. Croix Falls, WI


In the area for a two-day run at the Minnesota State Fair, Wayne Hancock with be stopping at the Dallas House next Saturday for what is guarantee to be a lively set of honky tonk swing music. Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis is a regular stop for Hancock three or four times a year on his swings up from Austin, Texas. Hot Telecaster picking and "dog house" base slapping provide the foundation for Hancok's excellent song writing -- some of the best in the bidness.

As one who has made the pilgrimage to Lee's to see Wayne, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. Whether its the three piece band or the four piece with a table steel guitar, the music will be non-stop, hillbilly swing. These boys are country music road warriors who know how to put on a show night after night. If you can't make the Dalles House show, make sure you catch them at the State Fair.

As Willie sez: "There ain't no flies on them boys!!!"

That sounds like fun! I am planning to visit my sister in St. Croix next year. I plan to stay there for at least a week so I have been trying to find things to do there.
