The Rough Riders Country / Rock / Pop
Saturday August 11, 2018 At 9:00 PM
A local group from O’Fallon, Mo., “The Rough Riders†entertained and wowed the crowd with some good ole country music such as, Hank Williams Jr.’s “Family Tradition†and Craig Morgan’s “International Harvester.†They were awesome! So much so, that I decided to talk about them, rather than the other politic ians who showed up, like Missouri Governor Matt Blunt and the guy who wants Gov. Blunt’s job, Kenny Hulshof. Don’t get me wrong, Blunt and Hulshof did a fine job preparing the crowd for McCain and Palin, but the Rough Ryders kicked some serious butt and were a hard act to follow! Even country music star and headliner John Rich had a tough time following that act.
A family destination for families, couples, & groups who want to enjoy quality Lake-area musicians & Florida Keys Theme. The menu is an electric blend of styles & ingredients native to South Florida, the Caribbean and also Midwest. Get to Backwater Jacks for great food & live music Thursday through Monday

For those who want a fast-paced, head-bobbing jam session, The Surge delivers. Big on energy and crowd interaction, the band can be seen at popular Lake area events such as The Lake of the Ozarks Pub Crawl and St. Patrick's Day. Members are from the Lake and Jefferson City areas. “We are a very upbeat band with danceable music and sing-a-long anthem rock,†says member Shawn Crowe.
The Surge started as four guys jamming together in Doug's basement. They didn’t plan on playing “officiallyâ€, but changed their minds when they received a call from Backwater Jack's to fill in for a band that canceled.
