Cancer is a hateful state of affairs, and it now affects our dear friend Wayne Green.And when we say OUR friend, we don't just mean Barley House. We mean the countless venues, bands, artists, and people whose lives have been touched by his gentle, good-natured sarcasm and expert sound-shaping.
For 40-plus years, Wayne has worked the soundboards of some of Dallas' best-known music venues—from DaDa to the Tea Room, from Muddy Waters to both Barley Houses. Along the way, he's given all of us a little more joy in our lives through the gift of music.
Now it's time to give back.
On Sunday, November 29th, Barley House is bringing together some old friends for an afternoon and evening of music, camaraderie, and good old-fashioned generosity. With your help, we'd like to return a little of what Wayne has given us over the years.
THE ARTISTS:
THE NITRONS played every Sunday night for years back when Barley House was on Henderson Avenue, and they've reunited especially for this occasion.
THE DEATHRAY DAVIES are among the most critically acclaimed bands to come out of Dallas, and Wayne has run sound for them so many times he could probably do it blindfolded. Their distinctive brand of garage-indie power pop is catchy, infectious, and unmistakably their own.
SLOBBERBONE — well, HELL YEAH, Slobberbone! One of THE great Americana bands of the last 35 years, their post-punk honky-tonk sound has helped define a generation. At least 'round these here parts!
And if THAT weren't enough, there'll be a raffle and silent auction featuring items yet to be announced, but undoubtedly of great social and rock 'n' roll import!
Things get crankin' around 4:00 Sunday afternoon, and we'll keep the music going well into the night.
Come out, enjoy some great music, reconnect with old friends, and help us take care of one of our own.
And if you can't make it, you can still help Wayne by donating through Zelle or Venmo using the QR codes in the accompanying artwork or elsewhere in this post.
Bless ya, Wayne. We're here for ya!
