The Texas Hippie Coalition will bring its hard-driven Southern metal to Club Texas in Auburn on Friday, Sept. 30, while on its cross-country tour beginning in Las Vegas. “We’re as Southern as Southern can be,” said frontman “Big Dad” Ritch in a prepared statement. “Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, ZZ Top, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson – we’re as outlaw as we can get, while at the same time having the power of that Texas groove, like Pantera. We’re metal with a Southern rock ‘n’ roll spirit,” Ritch said. Besides Ritch, the band is made up of Randy Cooper, lead guitar; Wes Wallace, rhythm guitar; John Exhall, bass; and Tim Braun, drums.
