Goatroper is a delightful new honkytonk band. Their first album will be coming out early summer and their newest single (The Kind of Woman You Can Hold) is coming our January 6!
We got a chance to talk to Abbey Janii and Mike Lee about their new band. Both have been in bands before but is sounds like a year ago after a musically steamy night on a Minneapolis porch they found each other and country music and a bond was formed. They sound like they were born to sing together. The music has the familiarity of the honkytonk sound with a sparky modern twist.
The theme was holiday music and we thank friends who sent us some brand new music. You can listen to the playlist of recorded material on Spotify and see the songs we played below.
