Singing Sensation Teea Goans

Every so often there comes along a young artist who fully understands a genre’s musical lineage and brings it full circle for those who may only have been exposed to it in a watered down form. Teea is uniquely positioned to accomplish that feat for traditional country, revitalizing a style often thought to be a mere relic of earlier days, and lighting a flame of enthusiasm in audiences.

From her first to her fourth and latest album, Swing, Shuffle & Sway, she draws from a neglected well to nourish her love for what some folks call traditional or authentic country. There’s plenty of variety in that genre--Texas two-step grooves, countrypolitan strings, keening steel guitars, songs of praise, and songs of betrayal. In her music you can hear that and much more.  What’s more important is what they share. Tales that touch on real emotion and impart bits of wisdom, based on experiences we’ve all shared. Let’s face it. That’s real country music. And no one sings it like Teea Goans. Not anymore.

Saturday Afternoon and Evening Only!

The Ron Williams Show

Friday Evening !

Fiddlin' Dennis Stroughmat

Growing up in southeastern Illinois, Dennis' first memories of listening to music were the sounds of Bob Wills, Guy Lombardo, and Ray Price.  Night and day his dad would play all kinds of music on his stereo system, but more than anything the sound of Ray Price’s Cherokee Cowboys booming through the speakers made him want to sing and dance around the room.  Some say he was born to this music and others joke that Ray Price was his vocal coach.  That’s a huge compliment but in many ways Dennis did learn to sing and understand music via Ray Price and The Cherokee Cowboys.  Years passed, he picked up the fiddle, began playing French music and became a nationally known musician.  But the desire to play the music of “The Cowboys” and especially in the style of greats like Tommy Jackson and Buddy Spicher never left him. 

Dennis will be fiddlin' all weekend with the SIP Stage Band
