Rehab brings "The Bartender Song" to OWA Theater next Friday

Danny Boone's Southern rock and hip-hop band plays Foley's 430-seat theater on Friday, Nov 6, on the Taste the Playdeaux Tour.

Somewhere in Baldwin County there's a bar where someone has already played "The Bartender Song" on the jukebox this week. Next Friday, Nov 6, the band that recorded it comes to Foley.

Rehab plays OWA Theater at 7:30pm. It's a stop on the band's Taste the Playdeaux Tour, and OWA's event page bills the night as a mix of Southern rock, hip-hop and high-energy live music. The theater is at the OWA resort, 205-A North OWA Blvd., and the box office number is 251.369.6100. Check the venue's own page for tickets before going to a reseller.

The room is the story here. OWA Theater has a little over 430 seats, according to the venue's rental page. Our records put Rehab's usual headline rooms closer to 600, so this is a smaller room than they usually play, and fans will be close to the stage. We don't have an earlier Gulf Shores and Orange Beach show for them on record, so for a lot of people along the coast, this is the first chance to see the band without driving to Mobile or further.

If you know one Rehab song, it's "The Bartender Song." The band is fronted by Danny Boone, and OWA's page notes that the song's version with Hank Williams Jr., "The Bartender Song (Sittin' at a Bar)," earned a CMT nomination and put the band on Rolling Stone's Hot List. That crossover is the whole idea behind the band: a singalong country bar song, built on hip-hop rhythms and delivered with Southern rock volume. It's why the brief lists them under both country and hip-hop, and it's why the crowd at a Rehab show doesn't look like the crowd at any one other kind of show.

The tour schedule around this date is tight. Rehab plays Nashville on Nov 1, Foley on Nov 6 and Montgomery two nights later on Nov 8, before heading north to Rochester on Nov 11. Foley is the only stop in the run that's within easy reach of the beaches.

OWA has been building out its theater calendar this fall, mixing tribute acts with touring bands, and a night like this one is part of that.

One thing to watch: OWA's main theater page also lists a Rehab date on April 16, 2027. It's unclear whether that's a second visit or a change to this show, so check the venue's event page or call the box office before you go.

If "The Bartender Song" has been on your playlists for years, this is a chance to hear it in a 430-seat room with the band right in front of you.
