Over the years, Roadburn has evolved to encompass a vast range of music styles and genres. Rather than pursue diversity for diversity’s sake, however, the idea has always been to put together an interesting and exciting festival. Now we are about to push the sonic boundaries once again by welcoming outlaw country hero Bob Wayne (and his band the Outlaw Carnies) to the 2012 edition of our festival.
Having done time with Hank Williams III not only as a guitar tech and opening act but also on Hank III’s version of his song ‘Working Man’, Bob Wayne is the real deal. His fans include Roadburn stalwart Scott Kelly and Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe. A tireless road warrior, Wayne has toured with all sorts of metal and sludge bands. His music may be pure country, but lyrically speaking his songs share the kind of unvarnished view on life expressed by bands more readily associated with Roadburn.
One listen to this tattooed desperado’s Outlaw Carnie will confirm that he fits the bill. Bob Wayne and The Outlaw Carnies will play on Saturday, 14 April at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

who?
Right on, nice add. He’ll melt your face off.
Now how’s about adding his buddy Hank III to the Roadburn lineup? He has just released three (!) albums, and at least two of them are ‘Roadburn-worthy’. Check out the Attention Deficit Domination album for some prime quality doom.
