As a genre, alt.country hardly begins to characterize the eclectic lineups that Russell and McMeans put together… The Wednesday bills draw crowds mixing Mohawk punks and country kickers, as well as some of the town's top musicians and producers. Behind Russell and McMeans' infectious energy and their intent on building a collaborative environment, it's a scene that recalls the days of Doug Sahm holding court at the Soap Creek Saloon. -Doug Freeman.
