Tears
in Beers
Traditional tunes and saloon-style barrooms are here to comfort you as the
economy plummets

On a recent frigid Saturday night, the Bourbon
Cowboys laid down three hot sets of outlaw-style country at Mickey's
Restaurant in Bridgeport.
With linoleum floors, Elvis art and wood paneling
reminiscent of a 1960s suburban basement, Mickey's showcases a model of
the Chevy driven by Dale Earhardt Jr. under special lights above the bar.
Heat is provided by a pellet stove, and the establishment serves most of
its hard stuff in tiny airplane bottles or nips.
Though the crowd skewed towards 50-somethings,
fairly typical for Fairfield's robust country music scene, the recent
popularity of jam bands and singer-songwriters slinging acoustic guitars
has attracted a decidedly younger demographic.
"When we play the King's Court in Milford, the young
hipsters will quiet down a little and listen to the music when we play,
because it's something anyone can identify with," says Cowboys guitarist
Chris Cass.
Country music encapsulates life's tribulations with
tear-in-the-beer odes (stereotyped as lamenting the girlfriend who walked
out after the dog got drunk and crashed the pickup truck), and the recent
economic downturn has helped swell shows by local country and country-ish
bands.
