THE RIBBERS

TEXAS RANGERS

Camp31

Camp 31

Camp 31 was founded in 1908 as a “Saw Mill” general store outside Brewton, Alabama. Camp 31 BBQ was established by Larry Murphy in 1985, and we’ve been serving up mouth-watering authentic southern BBQ ever since.

In 1986, the Brewton Police Dept. helped us enter our first BBQ cook off in Pensacola, Florida. There we won 3 first place trophies, and since, touring the U.S. and Canada has not stopped.

We are still one of the highest productive BBQ teams on the road today, cooking the best Southern Style Bar-B-Que around – Slow smoked over hickory logs ensuring the tenderest meat and the most flavourful rib experience.

    Overwound

    Overwound is Blues on Fire. Hailing from Fredericton, NB, Canada, this 3-piece power trio delivers guitar blues/rock to the ears and soul with a high-energy edge, and that extra octane and drive that gets people fired up.

    After 3 years of regional touring with a mix of their own hard-driving blues/rock tunes and modern re-creations of blues classics from guitar blues masters, they released their 1st album, “Attitudes” in August 2024. Designed to have the volume cranked up from the start, it is a mix of straight-ahead guitar blues and power trio rock, with doses of funk - something to awaken all the senses.
