Great Live Music All Weekend At Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

The best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines never wants you to eat and run, so occasionally we book some incredible entertainment for you to stick around and enjoy. This weekend we're doubling up on the talent at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse! Friday night we've got country music recording artist Jason Brown on stage, and Saturday brings the return of the Barefoot Entertainer himself, Dale Blue. 




Jason Brown
Jason is an Iowa-born native, originally from just three miles outside Pella. He has entertained hundreds of thousands of fans across the Midwest, and their support along with his love of music has helped him to produce some amazing songs. To date, he has put five songs on the Billboard and MediaBase Country Charts. Jason has also had the privilege of performing with some of country music's leading artists, including Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, Little Big Town, and many more. 

Jason's grandmother was the first one to notice the potential for his voice at the young age of four while he was singing along with everyone at church. She took the time to help him discover and develop that voice sitting at the piano. Both gospel music and traditional country music had a large impact on him, turning him into the singer that he is today.  



Moving to Texas at the age of fourteen with his mom and brother, Jason toured with his church youth group, singing throughout Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, and Florida. A few years later he returned to Pleasantville, Iowa to live with his dad. That's when he began touring the Midwest fair circuit. He has fronted many different talented bands, learning from each and every person that has crossed musical paths with him. 

Jason has grown a broad and loyal fan base with songs that combine equal parts musical and vocal excellence and a love for all things Midwest. Sometimes he performs backed by a full band, other times alone with just his voice and his guitar. This Friday night, January 27, 2017, Jason will be playing an acoustic set on the Wobbly Boots Roadhouse stage with Greg Valentine beginning at 9:00 pm. If you'd like to hear a preview of what you can expect, head on over to JasonBrownCountry.com and have a listen.     


Dale Blue
You may have caught Dale Blue on our stage earlier this month. He shares a hometown with the Lake of the Ozarks Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, but they don't mind sharing him with us occasionally! 

Dale spent a portion of his musical career playing gigs in high-end hotels where they required him to play current popular songs while wearing suits and tuxedos. He absolutely hated it, and after suffering through three years of 5-6 nights a week of that torture, Dale promised himself - Never again! He made a vow to never play somewhere he didn't want to be or perform any music that he didn't love. 



Today, wherever you find Dale on stage, he'll be smiling from ear to ear, singing an incredible combination of blues and rock. As for his attire, he earned the nickname "The Barefoot Entertainer" because he prefers to perform comfortably without any shoes on! He's not the only one having a good time. Dale's humor and aura of fun is contagious when you see and hear him play. He loves passing around the tambourine and inviting the members of the crowd to join him on stage.

If you make your way down to mid-Missouri, you can find Dale playing regularly during the summer at the waterfront bar he co-owns in Linn Creek, MO, called The Fish & Company. He also has a talent for writing, and sometimes offers his outlook on various subjects for LO Profile Magazine at the lake. Come by the Boot this Saturday night, January 28, 2017 and check out this awesome entertainer for yourself.  


Join Us All Weekend at the Boot!

Dale Blue - The Barefoot Entertainer at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

The best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines is lucky enough to have some amazing entertainers grace our stage occasionally.  This Saturday, January 23, 2016 we are thrilled to welcome back a taste of the Lake of the Ozarks - Dale Blue! Although he was born and raised in Missouri and still calls the Lake area home, he has easily won the hearts of all of us at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive. 



Dale Blue is also known as the "Barefoot Entertainer."  A nickname given to him by Mark Barrett from Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach.  That all started years ago when Dale frequently played at Dog Days Bar & Grill.  It was an obvious way to start referring to the singer because he always chose to perform without shoes.

According to Dale, in 1983 his career consisted of playing gigs in lots of high-end hotels where he was required to wear suits and tuxedos, and he was expected to play songs that were currently popular on the radio.  He couldn't stand it!  After three years of doing that for 5-6 nights a week, he promised himself that he would never play somewhere he didn't want to play or perform any music that he didn't love.  Also, he vowed never to wear shoes again while performing.  Guess that happens when you're trapped in a suit for too long!



Well, the music that Dale chooses to play now can be described as a unique combination of blues and rock.  Along with the humor and aura of fun that he injects into each of his performances, this show is one that is sure to entertain everybody in the crowd, no matter what your age.  Dale loves passing around the tambourine and inviting audience members to join him onstage and be a part of the fun.  Below is a small taste of what you can expect this Saturday from a past performance at the old Osage Beach Wobbly Boots Roadhouse.    



Our Des Moines BBQ restaurant is the place to be this weekend.  Come on by Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive Saturday night and experience this incredible entertainer for yourself.  Every time that Dale shows up with is guitar, amazing voice, and quick sense of humor, everyone has a great time.  He has built up quite a large following traveling around the Midwest, so make sure that you come in early to get the best seats.  Don't worry, though, because no matter where you end up sitting, Dale will make sure that you feel like a part of the show.      



Don't forget you can take home 16 oz. bottles of
