Welcome

If you are looking for a straight up, double fisted, take no prisoners, screaming out the window, crawling through the alley with one shoe on rock and roll band, look no further. You can currently find Bourbon Sprawl blazing their way across the backwoods of the Upper Peninsula in a rusty van bringing their full frontal assault to the huddled masses.

Bourbon Sprawl, Solid Rock Amidst the Rubble

They are available and able to play at bars, taverns, saloons, pubs, juke joints, speakeasies, LasVegas wedding ceremonies, funeral homes, private parties, oil rigging platforms, riverboat casinos (only the kind with those big paddle wheels on the sides) small Stadiums or large Arenas, coloseums both ancient and modern, and any other occassion where one is liable to find cigarettes, whiskey and women.

The band is currently playing a great mix of rockin’ tunes in the local bars and working on original material. If you have suggestions for songs you would like to hear, please e-mail the band and let them know. They are constantly adding new (and old) songs to their setlist so you wont have to listen to the same songs every time you hear them play.

January 23 at Mickeys Tavern

Bourbon Sprawl at Mickeys Tavern

Last Saturday was our second gig at Mickeys Tavern in Laurium. We rocked and rumbled and made the dancers stumble… or was that from the drinks? Either way, we had another great time with a great crowd in Laurium. We love the Copper Country! Steve inaugurated his new cymbal, and shelled out an ample supply of cowbell as you can see in the photo above.

The dance floor was hot, but the temperature on the drive home was hovering near freezing. The thick, soupy fog gave way to deceptively clear and dry road for a moment before abruptly turning into an ice glazed wonderland as the moisture from the rain and fog froze in thin sheets on the road. Thanks to Jeff  Johnson and Katie Gallagher for taking pictures.

The Wild Rover

It was another first for Bourbon Sprawl on Friday as we played at the Wild Rover in downtown Marquette. This is a great place to grab a few beers or some whiskey and catch some music. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures of the performance. Maybe next time. We did have fun however, and would like to thank all the folks who rocked with us.

Bourbon Sprawl at Chappers Pub

Our first official gig of 2010 took place at Chappers Pub in Negaunee, though we did play a set for a benefit in Ishpeming the weekend prior. Thanks to Katie for taking pictures and thanks to Goofus for… being Goofus.

New Years Eve at the Bayou

Bourbon Sprawl at Bayou on New Years Eve

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six………… 3, 2, 1 (Champagne cork pops) Happy New Year!

Well, 2009 was a great year for us. Thanks to everybody who supported us throughout the year and we hope to see you all again soon. We sprawled our way into 2010 with a showdown at the Bayou in Harvey. Confetti and noise makers were in full effect, the champagne was flowing faster than the Chocolay river, and the dance floor was rockin.

With the Blues Brothers looking over our shoulders, we kept the party moving till police came and tried to shut us down. After a ridiculous car chase through a shopping mall, we managed to get the band back together for one final rock ‘n roll blast into the future. We made it home safe and we hope everybody else did too.

Until next time…

Bourbon Sprawl at Chappers Pub

It was the week before Christmas and all through the land, not a thing was stirring except this one Rock n’ Roll band.

Thanks to all who braved the weather to come see us play at Chappers Pub. If you missed it, you have one more chance to see us play……………………………………… until next year.

We’ll be rockin at the Bayou Bar and Grill in Harvey on New Years Eve. Let’s party ten times harder than we did in 1999!
