Singers will feature Jack Taylor & The Sinners as a part of the Sore Loser Tattoo Co. Anniversary Party. Jackson’s lyrics paint tales of lives filled with passion and joy as much as of a life tainted by sorrow and disappointment. Combining his real life experiences with old school country elements, and throwing in the flavors of punk and southern rock to create a style all his own, Jackson Taylor continues to break the rules of traditional country music with his straightforward lyrics, “take it or leave it” approach, intense live performances, and the drive and determination of a freight train.
Opening for Taylor is red dirt country artist Ricky Fugitt. Fugitt has shared the stage with with popular Texas/Red Dirt Artists such as Jason Boland, Cody Canada & The Departed, Wade Bowen, Bart Crow, JB & The Moonshine Band, and Vallejo. Nationally, Ricky has also shared bookings with Merle Haggard, Daryl Singletary, Little Big Town, Ronnie Dunn and Willie Nelson. Today Ricky is still playing when and wherever he can. He has begun touring Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas with a new road band that features seasoned veteran players from the Oklahoma & Texas Music Scene.
