Honky tonk music has a reputation for being raw and relatable. But what does it take for musicians to bring those songs and stories to life on stage — performance after performance?
A documentary called, Honky Talkin’: Tales and Travails from the Honky Tonk Trail, takes viewers on a rockabilly road trip and explores how these artists balance performing and the business of music.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the music, the venues and the making of the documentary.
Guests:
- Eric Welter, writer and director, Honky Talkin’: Tales and Travails from the Honky Tonk Trails
- Bobby Mackey, singer and owner of Bobby Mackey’s
- Morella Raleigh, owner, The Southgate House Revival
