Music

Not every act here logs hundreds of nights on the road every year; in fact, a few are long extinct. And the ones who don’t log that many aren’t necessarily worse off. But for the ones who do, it helps. Povertyneck Hillbillies, reportedly as big as Alan Jackson or Montgomery Gentry on western Pennsylvania country radio with music sold out of the back of their tour bus, might even be the musical equivalent of minor-league baseball—how cool is that?
