The Dolores River Brewery will again host one of its legendary Halloween costume parties on Friday. A special treat this year is a concert by Wayne "The Train" Hancock, the undisputed national king of juke-joint swing.

Since his stunning 1995 debut - "Thunderstorms and Neon Signs" - Hancock has garnered national attention and rave reviews. His music is described as that alchemist's dream of honky-tonk, Western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band. Always an anomaly among his country music peers, Wayne's uncompromising interpretation of the music he loves is in fact what defines the music - steeped in tradition but never retro, bare-bones but bone-shaking, hardcore but with a swing.

With his unmistakable voice, Hancock's reckless honky-tonk will move the dead this Halloween night. If you see him live, you'll surely work up some sweat stains on that snazzy Rayon shirt you're wearing.

Hancock's disdain for the slick, pop country on the radio is well known.

"Man, I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville," he says. "See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That's me."

Cover is $10, and the show starts at 8 p.m.
