DUST OFF YOUR BOOTS, SLIP ON YOUR JEANS, WE'RE HEADED FOR AN EVENING WITH THE MULTI-TALENTED TERRY ALLEN.
Please join us at the Belger Arts Center, featuring "Beneath the Surface," an exhibit kicking off their second decade showing Terry Allen, Jasper Johns, William T. Wiley, Viola Frey and William Christenberry. A new publication entitled "Terry Allen" will be signed by the artist and show over 300 images of his work as well as his songwriting history.
After drinks and Southwestern fare, we head for Knucklehead's and an evening of the best Country/Western music you'll ever experience, with Terry and his band.

ABOUT KNUCKLEHEADS SALOON
It was 1887 when the old boarding house was built by the tracks. You could hear the music of the old west, the song of the cowboys and the trains. Today the old west and the trains sounds still can be heard, along with the sounds of todays BEST blues and honky tonk music in Kansas City. Not much has changed. It's still the best of the old and the new!
Knuckleheads Saloon was the recipient of the 2008 Blues Foundation "Keeping the Blues Alive" award.
