Paul Bogart & Lexi Larsen ~ Friday & Saturday
Come listen to Paul Bogart & his band from Nashville TN, they will be here Friday & Saturday night in Hulett Wyoming.
If you were to look up the phrase “three chords and the truth” in the dictionary, you might see pictures of country legends like Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash . . . but more recently, you might also see Paul Bogart. Though his songs are fresh and he himself is young, he is an old soul with a knack for capturing time-honored traditions and summing up classic sentiments in catchy, three-minute songs. Exuding sincerity and a rare, down-to-earth charm, Paul Bogart is, simply put, the epitome of country music.
“All of my music just fits under a cowboy hat,” Paul says with an honest laugh, explaining the straightforward appeal of his sound. “I want people to shoot straight with me – to just be real – and that’s what my music is: real, sincere songs that people can relate to.”
Possessing elements of a quippy, good-natured Brad Paisley song along with the Wranglers-and-spurs appeal of a George Strait tune, Bogart’s music additionally radiates something that’s been missing from the country scene: authenticity.
“From the time I was just a kid roping calves, my dad taught me that if you’re good, people will see that – there’s never any need to brag.” That attitude still permeates everything Bogart does today, whether it’s touring the country playing upwards of 65 dates a year or writing with some of Nashville’s biggest names in country music. Though he clearly has the heart of a cowboy and the spirit of a gentleman, Bogart also possesses an unrivaled work ethic that displays itself with passion and integrity.
Lexi Larsen~ www.lexilarsen.com
Lexi is a small town girl with big city appeal. Born and raised in corn country Nebraska, she has been strutting her stuff all over the mid-west since she was just a little dinker at four years old!
From the Galaxy of Stars Search to the regional Colgate Country Showdown, she’s been gathering fans like a storm cloud gathers rain. The downpour is imminent.
Opening for acts such as Grammy-nominated Emerson Drive & Ricochet has given her just a taste of what’s to come. Now that she has teamed up with some of Nashville’s best, there is no telling how far this all-American star will rise.
Since her first country album titled “I Just Do” recorded in 2007, Lexi has been writing regularly with Nashville pro-writers, creating songs that reflect her faith, hope and love of life. Bold and bouncy, sweet and sassy, Lexi has found expression and release in her writing. She has also found a voice for sharing those things most near and dear to her heart.
When asked why she loves to write she said, “I love music that tells a story and has meaning. A song that can hold your attention and make you connect with it…those are the kind of songs I want to share with the world. I love country music for that reason.”
“I try to write songs that relate to my life, songs that resonate with my listeners too. What I love about “Something about a Sunday” is the way it really captures how I feel when I am away from my family, but I imagine there are alot of people who feel that same way too when they can’t be with the ones they love.”
These days you can find Lexi playing in honky tonks and saloons, county fairs, coffee shops, vineyards and restuarants. While she makes her home in Nashville, TN she remains loyal to her fans all across the USA, and still performs in the mid-west regularly. Please check out her “Show” page for a performance near you!
