The RCC is the Republic Country Club & BBQ, a place where good people can relax and have a beer, a bourbon or some whiskey, and some proper slow smoked Texas BBQ, while listening to a musician croon his heart out around other like-minded people.
RCC has a very relaxed atmosphere. The place has the feel of a sleepy old town that hasn’t been touched in a generation, so don’t criticize that we have nothing that is fancy or new. Our menu of food and drinks is well-crafted and lovingly curated. Our food is from Republic BBQ, next door on the same property.
We have live music most Friday and Saturday nights. Often it will be someone whose name you don’t know, playing for a bar tab, trying to chase the dream. We hope to showcase some folks who need a barstool and a few willing listeners to hone their craft. We’ll ask that you pay attention to the band if you sit near the stage, and that if you wanna talk you respect them by moving to the back. We also have had some amazing national artists grace our little stage, including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Tracy Byrd, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Charley Pride, Charlie Daniels, Robert Earl Keen, Cory Morrow, Pat Green, The Bellamy Brothers, and many, many more.

Description
BJ Thomas owns one of the most distinctive voices in American pop music-a reassuringly masculine timbre conveyed with a smattering of unique embellishments that represent a distillation of the most influential genres in pop culture.
Nothing about the identifiable sound of B.J. THOMAS' voice has changed, but there's a re-energized commitment behind it. Recognizing the continued loyalty of his fans, B.J. has released his first new studio album in seven years with Curb Records.
Concurrent with that project, he contributed six songs to the soundtrack and co-stared in the independent picture JAKE'S CORNER. He has also developed an album for release in Brazil, where he remains a significant musical signpost; much of it mirroring his own blue-collar background.
"We've always tried to do the right thing as far as getting our music out and encouraging people with positive music" B.J. reflects. Indeed, many of B.J.'s signature hits-the Oscar-winning Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, the million-selling (Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song and his career-igniting cover of Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry-invariably find the plots' protagonists employing some level of positivity to overcome the universal battle with loneliness.
With over 70 million records sold, BJ's vocal versatility is as apparent today as it was when he recorded his first hit in 1967, "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry". Since the mid-1960s, BJ Thomas has become one of the most recognized and respected voices of the American musical landscape. He has impacted many areas of popular music with 15 Top 40 pop hits, 10 Top 40 country hits, 5 Grammys, 2 Dove awards and 15 Gold and Platinum Records. He is the only artist to successfully move to the top of three music genres not as a crossover and also have crossover success.
