Why you should see their show: Smalltown Throwdown loves to keep people on the dance floor and partying the night away. The group likes to enjoy themselves on stage too, and has been known to keep a bottle of Fireball close by to distribute shots to their fans. The country based group brings a high energy show with an eclectic mix of music that includes many popular songs from other genres. They strive to distinguish themselves with their stage show and are ready to dance on a table or bar top if the situation arises. But their biggest goal is to keep the crowds coming back for more.
