King Cone and The Tailgate Philharmonic is an original C&W / R&R band based in Decatur, Texas. King Cone and Josh McDaniel, both 23, have recently graduated from college and are continuing on with their pursuits in Texas music. New additions to the band, but certainly not rookies, include Dwayne Bollmeyer, Ben Rose.
In the past King has entertained a standing room only crowd of 800 all night at The Hilton Hotel in Caracas, Venezuela for a "Promote Texas" event co-sponsored by American Airlines, Hilton Hotels, and various cities in Texas. King and his high energy band have also kept New Years Eve crowds at major north Texas country clubs, dancing until the lights came back on. During the past six years, the band has opened for Alabama, Jo Dee Messina, Willie Nelson, Joe Nichols, Pat Green, Jack Ingram, and many others.
The band has a unique sound consisting of country ideas with a contemporary / 60's rock bottom. If that doesn't interest you maybe the baked cod will........
