Marble Falls Opry presents Bobby G. Rice & Tommy Horton
Nashville recording artist
Bobby G. Rice and Branson entertainer Tommy Horton will headline the
Marble Falls Opry.
Between 1970 and 1988, Bobby G. Rice released nine albums and charted
thirty songs on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. His biggest
hit, "You Lay So Easy On My Mind," went all the way to number 1 in
1973.
From the heartland of America, Bobby G. Rice first burst forth onto
the music scene with a 1970 revival of the popular Jimmy Gilmore pop
classic “Sugar Shack” and then Bruce Channel’s “Hey Baby”.
Born into a musical family with its own radio show, Bobby began
performing publicly at an early age. Later he decided to test his
wings as a solo artist in his native Wisconsin. As a stylist, he
proved especially adept in adding country flavor to spicy standards
like “Lover Please”, “Mountain of Love” and “Suspicion”
Still, it was in introducing his own song “You Lay So Easy On My
Mind” in late 1972, that he found a lasting niche in country music.
“You Lay so Easy On My Mind” went on to be his first number one
national chart record and was later recorded by such artists as
Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Pat Boone, Andy
Williams, David Houston, Jerry Springer and others. Proving he was no
“one-hit wonder”, he scored the next spring with another Top 10 tune
“You Give Me You”.
With his career in high gear, Rice followed through with more Top 10
singles, among them, “Write Me A Letter” and “Freda Comes Freda
Goes”. Country classics he has breathed new life into include, “Pick
Me Up On Your Way Down”, “My Special Angel” and “Oh Baby Mine”.
Bobby G. Rice was the first major artist to record a song written by
Teddy Gentry of “Alabama”. The song was “I May Never Be Your Lover
(But I‘ll Always Be Your Friend)”.
Rice is returning to the recording studio this month to record for
Heart of Texas Records.
Tommy Horton was a regular on the Louisiana Hayride out of
Shreveport, Louisiana, from late 1975 until mid 1977. Tommy was
part of the Tony Douglas Show, played bass and was a front man for
the Norma Jean and Claude Gray road show, and a performer on the Big
"D" Jamboree in Dallas. Tommy has even been featured on The Nashville
Network and the RFD Television Network.
Tommy wrote and recorded a song called "The Surveyors of Texas" for
the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors. This song, along with
the fact that Tommy worked as a land surveyor for many years, has
given him the title "The Singing Surveyor".
Tommy has won many awards during his career including the prestigious
Male Entertainer of the Year by the Metroplex Country Music
Association (MCMA) in Fort Worth/Dallas, Texas. He holds a degree in
Commercial Music received from South Plains College in Levelland,
Texas.
In 1997 Tommy released an album "Tommy Horton Sings The Electrified
Donkey" and is receiving national airplay from this release. Between
shows, Tommy enjoys fishing, amateur leather working and his
involvement with the Masonic Lodge. He is also a long time member in
good standing with the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors and
the Country Music Association.
In April, 2000, Horton moved his show to the legendary BoxCar Willie
Theater on the world famous 76 Country Music Boulevard in Branson,
Missouri. Jimmy Lancaster, Entertainment Editor for The Branson Daily
News, wrote a rave review about their show describing it as
"excellent", "great", "fantastic" and ended the review by saying, "
...for some good traditional classic country, bluegrass, gospel and a
touch of the late Johnny Horton, The Horton show is the one to see".
During his part of the program, Tommy will be doing a tribute to
Johnny Horton.
Other entertainers on the Marble Falls Opry will include Benny Fred
Kothmann, Shane Lively, Sammy Geistweidt and Charley Walton. Tracy
Pitcox will MC the show.
Tickets are $12 and are available online at
www.uptownmarble.com, at the R-Bar & Grill, 904 3rd St, and by
calling 830-693-9996.

Redd Volkaert
Redd Volkaert was a 2004 Grammy Nominee for best Country
Instrumental Performance.
Volkaert is best known to country audiences as being the lead
guitarist since 1997 for Merle Haggard's band the Strangers.
Prior to that in the '90s, he had done sessions in Nashville for
artists like Ray Price, Clinton Gregory, Dale Watson, and Lacy J.
Dalton. In the late '90s, Volkaert also began a career as a solo
artist with Telewacker. In 2001, No Stranger to a Tele followed,

with steel guitar, and vocal numbers in the Bakersfield-honky-tonk
tradition.

Tickets are available online at
www.uptownmarble.com, at the R-Bar & Grill, 904 3rd St, and by
