The Littlest Honky Tonk: A Mobile Music Venue Making Big Waves in the Country Music Scene
A mobile music venue known as "The Littlest Honky Tonk" has traveled from Calgary to join forces with country music star Post Malone at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Utah. The unique venue, a converted horse trailer, is the brainchild of Laura and Boots Graham, a couple from Calgary. Laura, who owns a vintage western-wear business, and Boots, a musician and cattle rancher, were contacted by Post Malone's management after the artist saw their YouTube video series. The collaboration was born out of a shared love for country music.
Post Malone and his band squeezed into the cozy space of The Littlest Honky Tonk at the stadium, providing an intimate setting for the performance. The simplicity of the setup, with just one microphone, allowed the audience to hear the raw talent of the artist without the usual production effects. The venue also doubles as a mini-museum adorned with music memorabilia, adding to its charm and appeal.
Laura and Boots Graham's passion for western culture and country music is evident in the unique concept of The Littlest Honky Tonk. The couple's enthusiasm has attracted attention and support from others who want to be part of their project. With aspirations to feature more country artists and potentially take the trailer to iconic music destinations like Nashville or the Grand Ole Opry, the Grahams have big dreams for their small stage.
The future looks bright for The Littlest Honky Tonk, with plans to showcase musicians and performers at the Masters horse show jumping tournament at Spruce Meadows from Sep. 3 - 7. The Grahams are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and are eager to continue sharing their love for country music with a growing audience. The sky's the limit for this tiny mobile music venue, and who knows, maybe Dolly Parton will be the next artist to grace its stage.
