Classic country songs from the 1940s ’50s and ’60s
Are you lonesome tonight? Got heartaches by the number? A hankering for pedal steel guitar, some high lonesome Floyd Cramer piano and a Patsy Cline yodel? Then you gotta go hear Lush Country, an all-star band playing the best country songs of the hi-fi era, from Eddy Arnold to Tammy Wynette and back again. Check out Dan’s calendar page for upcoming dates.
The seven members of Lush Country are longtime Twin Cities headliners and Prairie Home Companion veterans: (from left) Joe Savage (pedal steel & harmonica), Richard Kriehn (guitar, mando & fiddle), Peter Johnson (drums), Gary Raynor (bass), Gary Rue (guitar), Prudence Johnson (lead vocals) and Dan Chouinard (piano & accordion).
