Broke Your Heart — Posted by Roscoe Wyatt on Mar. 28, 2007 at 08:22 AM
Howdy Folks, Roscoe here letting you know that starting THIS Monday morning you can check out our newest song, Broke Your Heart. We were extremely fortunate to have the lovely Amy Ross from Nowhere Man & Whiskey Girl perform this gut wrenching duet with me. Stop on over to www.myspace.com/thewyatts to hear this new song from our upcoming CD, The Continuing Saga of The Wyatts.... Volume I. Ya know love is hard enough. Imagine finding out that your love has just did you wrong. Now imagine you did them wrong as well.

So for all of you who have messed up and hurt the one you love, we dedicate this to you. Hope you enjoy it! See ya'll soon, Roscoe and the boys

Merry Christmas Darlin' Hits! — Posted by Roscoe Wyatt on Dec. 5, 2006 at 08:21 AM
Our NEW single, Merry Christmas Darlin' is off to a great start shaping up to be our most purchased song to date! Already surpassing ALL of our expectations, the on-line sales have been great. We thank ALL of you for purchasing this new song! Have you got your copy yet? Makes a GREAT Christmas gift.
Working with our radio promoter, Bill Wence Promotions out of Nashville, we are hoping to have 300 plus radio stations all across the US and on satellite radio spinning this new song throughout the holiday season. Check back to see WHICH stations in your area are playing us then call them to request it!
Here is what our local press is saying- "The cowboy-hat-clad quartet is serving up holiday spirit Old Pueblo-style in "Merry Christmas Darlin'," a quirky, rockabilly-flavored, country swing romp... You'll be two-stepping and sipping eggnog well into the new year."- Arizona Daily Star
"OK, so this one isn't an album, but rather a CD single of a Christmas tune cooked up by local country-pop-rockers The Wyatts. With its lush production, complete with piano, lap steel and Christmas bells, it sounds like an instant classic."- Stephen Seigel, Tucson Weekly
And from Nashville- "It’s a twang fest with piano triplets, steel licks, romping tempos and Telecaster snatches. I’ll bet these guys are great live."- Robert Oermann, Music Row Magazine

See ya soon, Roscoe Wyatt
TONIGHT! The Last Frog & Firkin — Posted by Roscoe Wyatt on Dec. 1, 2006 at 08:10 AM
It's been a longstanding tradition with The Wyatts, a monthly Frog & Firkin appearance. Well unfortunately, new commitments and out of town gigs have made this tradition tough to continue in 2007. So THIS Friday will be the last regular Frogtastic Friday!
How many of you saw us there for the very first time? All of those shots and beers. Roscoe playing guitar on top of the tables. The police coming and shutting down the show because of noise complaints. Dancing in the streets. Puking in the alley or getting pregnant by the back dumpster. Good times they say...
The Frog has been good to us and has brought MANY of you into our Wyatt family. For that we are forever grateful. So how about ONE more show with all of you and the Wyatts? Who cares how cold it may be, who cares what other plans you might have. Change them. Without all of you there over the last two years we would NOT be where we are today.
The Wyatts are making sure it’s a fun one and we have a different type of show planned for ya’ll. (Gotta make it out to find out what we are up to these days.) I'll give you a little hint, it it NOT what the Wyatts usually do at the Frog. Hmmmmmmm? We will be giving away a few more copies of our new Christmas single, Merry Christmas Darlin’ which is currently being picked up by 300 radio stations around the United States. And we’ll have more of ‘em for sale at $3 each. Plus we’ll be offering our first cd, The Wyatts, for only $5 and T-shirts will be two for $15. Just in time for the holidays! And JUST for you folks!
So please join us from 9pm to midnight this Friday, December 1st, on the heated patio of The Frog & Firkin, 874 East University Boulevard!
Here's the LAST chance to see us and say goodbye to our FAVORITE outside bar.
Hope to see ya there!
We love ya'll,
The Wyatt Boys
The Wyatts This Week- Nov. 14th — Posted by Roscoe Wyatt on Nov. 14, 2006 at 06:12 AM
Howdy All!
Don’t miss your last opportunity to see a headline show by The Wyatts this year! Yep, we haven’t played a bunch of club shows this fall but this one will be a good one! Joshua Butcher and The Melancholy will begin the night with an opening set from 9pm. Then the wonderfully melodic alt-country of Loveland will take over at 10pm. The Wyatts will be sure to rock ya starting at 11:15pm. You show up and we’ll just keep playing! We don’t need no stinking breaks; so we’ll play ‘till close if we have to!
Also, this may be a final opportunity to see The Wyatts as a five-piece with Lil’ Joey T. playing guitar all night!!! He lives way out in Surprise, Arizona so it’s getting harder for him to make our shows on a regular basis. Dang geographical consequences! He promised to play this one as a last hurrah though! We won’t count him out for a guest appearance from time to time but this’ll be your last chance to see him tear it up all night long!
Keep your ears peeled for our new single, Merry Christmas Darlin’. It’s going out to radio stations later this week. We’ll be updating ya on how to purchase a download in the near future. WE WILL BE GIVING AWAY 20 PHYSICAL COPIES DURING THE COURSE OF THIS WEEK’S SHOW AT THE HUT!!! BE THERE OR MISS OUT!
Plus, Roscoe will be stopping by to chat with Shorty Stubbs on his KXCI radio show, Country Fringe, tomorrow night (11/14/2006) at 7pm MST. They will be spinning Merry Christmas Darlin’ for the first time worldwide! Tune in locally at 91.3FM or worldwide at www.kxci.org
See ya soon!
Welcome! — Posted by Roscoe Wyatt on Oct. 21, 2006 at 07:52 AM
Howdy folks, our new site is up but we're are still adding content and making changes. Feel free to look around. We will be all completed with the transition in a couple of days!
See ya'll soon,
Roscoe & the boys
