It was so fun we are doing it again, and again, and again!  Third Thursday of every month!

Emily Herring and Henpecked are hosting a monthly live band Country dance night at the Egyptian Club. Welcome Portland's first ever live band queer Country dance night. Emily and the boys will be playing all the Country classics from the 60's to the present, along with a handful of original material. We're talkin George Jones and Merle Haggard to Leann Rimes and Garth Books. Carrie Underwood? Afraid so. You can also expect a hefty amount of Texas music like Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, and Willie, of course. Come one, come all and bring your dancin' boots.
Emily has been playing and performing music in Portland for roughly 8 years. She released her first full-length CD, My Tears Will Be Relieved, in April of 2006. Emily's EP: The Cat, Beaver, Bee has caught national radio play since it's release in May, 2007. Her single, "Has Country Gone to Hell?" has spent 20 weeks in the top ten, including six weeks at #1, on Neil Young's Songs of the Times website. In recent years, Emily's had the pleasure of performing at several music conferences and festivals, including the Midpoint Music Festival, and Folk Alliance.
"Herring twangs, plucks, and warbles like country singers of yore, gun-slingin' her guitar with a clear-headed progressive attitude and the "don't-mess-with-me" swagger of a true outlaw." -The Portland Mercury
"Herring is an original voice doing extraordinary things in the simplest terms... A big plate of Texas Country with a side of Delta Blues."- City Beat, Cincinnati
"You'll hear hints of Merle Haggard and Lucinda Williams in this tattooed, bespectacled blues-country artist's work. Go on and slide up and down that guitar neck with your bad self, Miss Girl."-Nancy Ford, Outsmart Magazine
