Christopher and Taylor Malpass grew up on their grandfather's record collection. Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell and Haggard shaped their sound, and the brothers started performing together young enough to catch Haggard's attention. He became their mentor. Their show leans on traditional country and gospel, mixed with original music, storytelling and humor.
Doors open at 6 p.m. South Plains College student Peyton Sawyer opens the night at 7 p.m., and The Malpass Brothers take the stage at 7:45 p.m.
For country fans on the South Plains, this puts a duo from RFD TV on a stage close to home. The brothers say that if you like their TV show, you'll love the live one. Executive Director Alycyn Keeling said the pair has "a way of making audiences feel right at home."
The brothers are already teasing the one part of the night nobody can plan: what crazy thing Taylor comes up with this time.
