Cowslingers Reunite as Part of Bob Lanphier Benefit

Last Tuesday, October 3rd, Whiskey Daredevils/Crooked
Mile/Bitter Disappointment/solo artist Bob Lanphier 
was seriously injured in an auto accident when a man 
in a stolen vehicle drove through a red light on 
Superior and 30th Street between 80-100 mph and 
struck Bob’s car in the driver’s side. Bob was
hospitalized with a fractured skull, a large cut 
on the head requiring 200 stitches, and other 
smaller injuries. Bob faces a minimum of two months 
of physical rehabilitation, and is not expected to 
be able to work during this time period.

Just some of Bob’s many friends in the community 
have agreed to put on a benefit concert Thursday 
October 26th at the Beachland Ballroom to help 
cover Bob’s day-to-day expenses while he recovers.
Bands that have already confirmed participation 
include The Cowslingers, Uncle Scratch’s Gospel 
Revival, This Moment in Black History, the Lords 
of the Highway, and Hayshaker Jones.

The Cowslingers were one of the region’s most 
popular live acts until their decision to stop 
performing together in 2003. Noted for a high 
energy live show, the band released nine critically 
lauded full lengths, and over a dozen singles
/compilation tracks. During this time they also 
received awards as “Best Live Band”, “Best Country 
Band”, “Best Punk Band” and “Best Rockabilly Band”. 
Three of the Cowslingers (Greg Miller/Ken Miller/
Leo P. Love) were joined by Bob Lanphier and Dave 
Bowling to form the Whiskey Daredevils in 2004.

Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival has won over fans 
while “kicking the devil in the balls” across 
stages, festivals, and parking lots throughout 
the region. This Moment in Black History have 
graciously decided to play the show only two days 
after returning from a long European tour and 
deliver an up-front sprawling assault that makes 
you remember why you listened to punk rock in the 
first place. Recipients of numerous “Best Live Act” 
awards, Uncle Scratch is currently supporting their 
new CD “North of Hell”. The Lords of the Highway 
new DVD release is just another addition to their 
high octane take on hillbilly punk music. Favorites 
in the regional club circuit, the Lords are 
considered one of the genre’s most exciting live 
acts. Hayshaker Jones offers explosive American 
music, and multiple members with Bob Lanphier 
connections. Hayshaker founder Clint Holly’s 
regular Sunday open mike night at the Town Fryer 
created numerous opportunities for members to jam 
with Bob (and ultimately resulted in Bob becoming 
a cook at the club!). One of the regions only true 
“Americana” bands, Hayshaker Jones will feature 
many members with Town Fryer connections.

Showtime is 9pm on Thursday October 26th. Donations 
will be readily accepted and encouraged with 100% 
of the take going to Bob Lanphier’s day to day 
living expenses.
