Paul Cauthen with Colby Acuff

Join us October 20th for Paul Cauthen with Colby Acuff.

“With outrageous songs like “F*** You Money” and “Country Clubbin’,” the East Texas singer injects the country genre with brash bravado… Cauthen is nothing if not proudly over-the-top. Onstage, he lets loose the alter ego of “Big Velvet,” an outsized dandy who’s fly like Huggy Bear but with a booming voice halfway between Johnny Cash and Nick Cave. He’s keen on large hats and flashy satin jackets; in his press photo, he carries a cane. To witness the imposing Cauthen perform live is to see a man undergo a transformation. The vibe in the room — especially during his hard-partying years when songs like “Cocaine Country Dancing” were not so much fantasy as mission statements — can feel dangerous.” – Rolling Stone 2022
