You dodged a bullet, son!
Bakersfield-style country rock with honky hooks, tonky tales – and a dash of desert desperado
Joshua Lincoln – aka Captain Lincoln – is an old-school country songwriter, singer, guitarist and bandleader with dozens of original, story-based tunes in the style of Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Wilie Nelson. Bedded down in modern rock and rockabilly sounds, his timeless tunes tell tales with belly laughs and gut-punches from the past, present and distant future. Now based in Austin, the Captain can play and entertain alllll night – originals, covers, both – as a solo artist or with his shoot-'em-up band.
“Bring your boots, bring your friends, bring your appetite for stories you'll be humming all week” – Reid Estreicher, host & producer of Local Sets ATX
