Beau and boy's rock the park - June 22, 2010

Beau Renfro sings country music with soulful Western accents, the kind you find in old-school Texas music sung by Willie Nelson and George Strait.

The rough-hewn singer, who closed out the Oracle State Park Concert Series on Sunday night, loads his 16 career releases with mandolin that is plucked, not strummed; fiddle and steel guitar played with a good measure of whine and wail; and percussion that sweetly balances out the melodies.

It is music that pays close attention to Renfro's Texas roots and the Western traditions of his adopted hometown of Tucson in both melody and temperament.

Beau and his Clear Country band rocked the concert at the park's historic Kannally Ranch House.

Proceeds from the concert helps support the Mediterranean-style Kannally Ranch House, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

My Hero layed to rest. - January 26, 2010

November 11, 1965.
LZ X-ray , Vietnam .

Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see an unarmed Huey. But ... it doesn't seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you.

He's not Medi-Vac so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses.
And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!
He took about 30 of you and your buddies out who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , Idaho ..

May God Rest His Soul.

Salute to the best pickers in the Southwest. - November 6, 2009

I have seen a lot of pickers and singers in my time. Why I even had guys who I worked with that went on to play music with some of the biggest stars in Country Music. Just a few that come to mind, names like Mac Brown who left me and went to work for Ray Price, My brother- in- law Wayne Jackson who played with Charlie Rich, Corky Owens who is now with Gene Watson. Dave Michell who later became one of the best producers in Dallas, Dan Williams became a super star in the Advertising world ( he did the Budwiser Frogs)and many more. Many who I still talk to a lot and call from time to time.
But I am proud of the crew I work with now, let me drop some names of three of the best.


*Harry Bollin, The beat has never been better. Harry also hits all those high notes with me. We have a running joke that is no joke. Each night I say this. Hey Harry did I tell you that you're the best drummer I ever had. Thanks for being there.

*I am proud to have Garry Rust playing Guitar with the Clear Country Band. He is looked up to by a lot of other guitar player's all over the country. Garry is a great singer also. For many years in Tucson Garry was tabbed as the best in town, quest what, he still is. Good to work with you buddy.

*Ofcourse I have to say the bass man is my best friend. As I always say" I wouldn't want to do a show without him". Rick Skinner is the backbone behind the Clear Country Band and a big part of our sound. With all his jokes on stage to just a all around great picker. He has been the rock that makes me won't to go out there each night and do my best. When I forget a word or a chord, Rick is there. Most of the time before I get to the word I'm about to forget. My heartfelt thanks.

People asked all the time, how we can have so much fun. It's easy. We all like to be entertained too. When one of us do a song, we all try to make that guy sound as good as we can. Hopefully we do that each time we're out there.
Beau Renfro & Clear Country, Just country, all ofo us just out there having a good time. We hope when you come and see us, you have a good time too.

42nd Annual July 4th Party - July 16, 2009

The 4th of July party in Seirra Vista, Arizona was a blast. Clear Country and I were about 50 feet from the largest fireworks show in Arizona. Man, what a site! This is our 4th time to headline the big show and it just keeps on getting better. Thanks to Sue & Kip Rice, who always make us feel like family, we had a great seat to watch it all. The staff of the 4th of July Rotary Club was great also.
From the first song with Beau and the boys to the last song of the night, all I can say is WOW! I posted a few pictures of the fans for all to see. I'll try to get back to all the email as quick as I can. Thanks to the C.C.B. fans for being there and we'll see you guys soon. Beau Renfro
