Gilley's Honky Tonk

Last night's SOLD OUT anniversary event celebrating Mickey Gilley, Johnny Lee and Urban Cowboy was a hugely successful throwback to the world-famous nightclub, Gilley's..."and all that implies."  

The Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce transformed the Island Convention Center and San Luis Resort into the popular hot spot from the 1970's/80's, with live music from the singing legends themselves, cast members from Urban Cowboy, mechanical bull, country dancing, and...even had some people "Looking for Love."  

Chamber President, Gina Spagnola, invited Ella to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.  She played Cajun Fiddle, alongside Gilley's very own Robert Herridge (The Little Fiddler), Jordan Applebe (Big Jordan Band), and Jason James (Memphis-based pianist).
