9 p.m. Eric Braun band (Blues) http://www.reverbnation.com/ericwbraun

Eric Braun is an up and coming guitarist/singer-songwriter from Southern Alberta. From a very young age Eric was introduced to the music of blues greats such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, and Albert King, to name a few. The blues had a significant impact on the musical development and vocal talent of Eric who continues to acquaint himself with the music of greats such as Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Robert Johnson, and Eric Clapton. As his guitar playing advanced, Eric found further influence in singer-songwriters such as James Taylor, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and John Mayer. These singer-songwriters helped Eric refine his own song writing craft developing his skill in elaborate and mature compositions with a gritty, yet smooth blues signature.

Eric is currently in the studio recording and preparing for a release later in the year and subsequent performances. Keep posted to reverbnation for updates for coming performances.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you like what you hear!

A southern style smokehouse where we smoke everything from brisket to chicken to ribs and seafood. A southern tradition right here in southern Alberta
Description
Serving up Lethbridge’s best and only TRUE smoked barbecued meats, The Smokehouse BBQ and Bar is a true southern style joint. The 750 lbs competition style commercial smoker and multiple wood blend for smoking is just two indicators of how serious we take our art. We also use only the best Alberta raised meats. This is not a place for small appetites, although they do have an arrange of vegetarian, gluten free and kids items. The food is delicious and the prices are modest.
The interior is styled after a contemporary roadhouse and features southern style music all day long from Johnny Cash and Stevie Ray Vaughan to the Rockabilly sounds of Brian Setzer and founding rock artists like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. In addition they have a quaint patio for sipping ice cold brews with all your friends during the summer months and a wood burning fire place inside for the winter months..
Other than huge portions and lots of cold hand selected beer they also offer their specially selected whiskeys, bourbons and wines to suit your every need.
A colorful place with a lot of character…and characters. If all this isn’t enough be sure to check out The Smokehouse’s TV’s for all your sports and PPV needs. Plus check out their stage for live entertainment from time to time. Get on it!!!

How does our barbecue get so tasty????
We start by rubbing all of our meats with our homemade spice rub. Then after letting it marinade for 24 hours we cook it slow and low using a blend of real wood smoke. This is the secret that makes our chicken, ribs, organic brisket and pork shoulder fall apart in your mouth and so tasty.
Remember that true wood smoking will turn meat pink, even chicken, but will be fully cooked because of the long cooking time in the smoker. You can try our meat dry, no sauce, or wet with any of our unique, homemade barbecue sauces.
Music is a huge part of a Southern BBQ experience so check back from time to time for live entertainment.
Enjoy our southern tradition.
