DESCRIPTION:
T For Texas - The Winters Brothers Band featuring the late Papa Don Winters (on vocals) at the Creekers Ball in the River Road area of Nashville/Ashland City Tennessee. Other musicians include Donnie Winters (guitar), Gene Watson (bass) & Bobby Miller (drums). The Winters Brothers Band featuring Donnie Winters & yodeling king Don Winters on May 25, 1986.
Donnie, his brother Dennis, and the band received radio airplay in the 1970's as part of the southern rock scene. This was one of the few shows Donnie did without Dennis, during this time period. Donnie's father the late Don Winters played with the band on this show. Don Winters performed with the late Marty Robbins for over a decade.
The Winters Brothers continue to have a TV show on the cable access channel.
I was instrumental in starting the Creekers Ball with announcer Danny Jones. In the 1980's, it was yearly event in the River Road part of town, showcasing bands in that area. Donnie and the band were nice enough to be our special guest at this annual charity event. I shot the video at all of the Creekers Ball events, including this rare footage of the Winters Brothers Band. The sound quality is great, as I came right out of the sound board, and into a professional hi-fi recorder. Plus, Donnie and the band sounded great.
Donnie currently runs a writers night on Tuesday Nights at Douglas Corner and sometimes plays at our own Play It Again Jam. I remember Donnie going all the way back to grade school in Nashville. See my other Winters Brothers Band videos. Video by Pat Adams from www.TennesseeConcerts.com
