Deadman Flats’ ‘Trashy Girl’ is your Westport Roots Festival song of the day

The inaugural Westport Roots Fest, centered around the Westport Saloon and taking place on Saturday, May 24, is approaching fast. To prepare for the pending roots romp presented by the good folks at Little Class Records, The Pitch will be highlighting a “song of the day” from one of the featured artists in the weeks leading up to fest. 

It’s hard to tell whether the lyrics to the Deadman Flats’ “Trashy Girl” are tongue-in-cheek or based on true life; honestly, it’s probably a little bit of both. This Lawrence band doesn’t take itself too seriously, and its songs are built for big front-porch sing-a-longs and drinking the cheapest of whiskey. Dig out your “favorite Looney Tunes shirt” and see if you can refrain from stomping along to our WRF song du jour.
