Live Music: Jacob Furr
The Whiskey Snug presents an evening of live music with Jacob Furr---an award-winning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, collaborator, and genre fluid artist from Fort Worth, Texas. His work blends West Coast folk with the dusty expanses of West Texas, and explores themes and stories of love, loss, grief, and recovery. He has toured the US since 2014. Furr has opened for Peter Case, James McMurty, Kelly Willis, Shovels and Rope, and Over The Rhine, among others.
Though Furr’s most significant work is a three album cycle over
10 years about the loss of his wife to brain cancer in 2013, his
songwriting paints pictures of thunderstorms on the Llano
Estacado, cemeteries of lost life boat sailors in California, and
the intimate feelings and details of recovery and healing. All of
these stories and themes are blended into songs that range
from towering electric anthems of lost stars, to intimate, solo
work that recalls Bert Jansch and early Josh Ritter.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show with a flight or dram from our collection of 1100+ whiskeys from around the world!

Live Music: Lyal Strickland
The Whiskey Snug welcomes Americana singer-songwriter, Lyal Strickland!
“Pure Americana, melodic and warm; lyrically thoughtful and full of feel...This has been a time of discovering and marveling at new singer-songwriters who have a sense of lyrical skill and melodicism and Lyal Strickland is another to be added high on that short list.” - Rob Ross [Pop Dose]
Lyal Strickland's music is as authentic as the Ozark hills from which it hails. With a background deeply embedded in the rural landscapes of Missouri, his lyrics resonate with the experiences of small-town life, weaving tales of struggle, resilience, and the unyielding human spirit. Strickland’s songs are a reflection of his upbringing in a small town, where the values and hardships of rural life imbue every note and word. His albums move through stages of life, showcasing his distinctive voice that brings his narratives to life. Each song is a window into Strickland's world, inviting listeners to step into stories woven with candor and crushing humility.
Apart from his musical endeavors, Lyal is a dedicated seventh-generation farmer, balancing his passion for songwriting with the responsibilities of running a family farm. This commitment to authenticity is not just a part of his music but a hallmark of his existence, connecting with audiences from all walks of life.
Lyal Strickland's journey is not just about music. It's about conveying a way of life that honors tradition while embracing the challenges of the present. With each performance, Strickland champions a sound that is both timeless and refreshingly genuine. At the root of it all, Strickland is a singer, songwriter, and farmer.
