Cory Grinder & The Playboy Scouts: Album Release Show

Cory Grinder & The Playboy Scouts take the stage at Natalie’s to celebrate the release of their brand-new album “Honky Tonkin Beauty Supreme”, released June 11 on Cleveland based Blue Arrow Records (home to Jonathan Richman and more). Tebbs Karney provides the silky, smooth sounds of the pedal steel which drives the group along with strong harmony vocals. The low end is expertly handled by Joe Wolfe on bass and Bee Roberts is the band’s tight drummer. The band also often features the phenomenal Anthony Papaleo on electric guitar. Leading the group on rhythm guitar, Cory Grinder writes original country tunes influenced by favorites like Merle Haggard, Roger Miller, and Willie Nelson.

2018 saw the release of their first album, “Cahoots and Other Favorites,” recorded with Grammy and Emmy nominated producer, David Mayfield. Performance highlights include featuring Kenny Vaughan from Marty Stuart’s Fabulous Superlatives on guitar for a Nashville show; plus Dale Watson invited them to perform as his backing band for a set at legendary Texas venues The Broken Spoke and Continental Club.
