Halloween in Maryville has a regular soundtrack now, and it's loud. On Saturday, Oct. 31, Them Dirty Roses headline the Halloween Bash at The Shed Smokehouse & Juke Joint, the barbecue-and-music spot on West Lamar Alexander Parkway. A Thousand Horses and Hannah Dasher are on the bill as special guests.

The timing, per the venue's own event page, runs long. The bar and restaurant open at 11 a.m., the ticket booth opens at 5 p.m., and the first support set is penciled in for about 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from about $30 to about $187 depending on where you want to stand or sit. One house rule to know before you load the truck: The Shed doesn't allow outside food or drink, and it doesn't allow tailgating on the property.

This isn't a one-off. Them Dirty Roses played The Shed's Halloween Bash last year too, on Oct. 31, 2025, sharing the night with Bones Owens and Johnny Mullenax for $25 a ticket. When a room with space for about 2,000 people keeps bringing a band back, the band is drawing a crowd.

If you haven't caught them yet, here's the short version. The band's own story page says brothers James and Frank Ford started the group with hometown friends Andrew Davis and Ben Crain. They came up in Alabama and now work out of Nashville, playing southern rock built on big riffs and long, soaring guitar solos rather than studio polish. That's the right music for a place with a dance floor in front of the stage and a smoker going out back, which describes The Shed pretty well.

The support bill turns Saturday from a headline set into a full night. A Thousand Horses have been touring behind their album *White Flag Down*, and they work the same territory where southern rock meets country radio, so they make a natural lead-in. Hannah Dasher fills out the lineup as the other special guest. Expect the support sets to start early by club standards, and plan on being there in time for them.

The Shed itself is part of the appeal. It's a full restaurant and bar that opens hours before the music, so a Saturday there can start with a plate of barbecue in the afternoon and end with the headliner's last encore. For a show like this, that matters: people make a day of it, and the room is already warm when the first band plugs in.

A practical note for anyone who saw an older listing: an earlier version of The Shed's events page showed this Halloween Bash on a different date. The current ticket page has it on Saturday, Oct. 31, so trust that one, and check it before you go.

Bring a costume if you like, eat before the bands start, and leave the cooler at home. Them Dirty Roses have made Halloween at The Shed a habit, and Saturday is an easy night to make it yours too.
