DURANGO MANGO Welcomes YOU!
GET TO KNOW
DURANGO MANGO!
DURANGO MANGO is a 3 piece band with
a GREAT BIG sound!
Antics? WE GOT 'EM!
Music is supposed to be FUN & ENJOYABLE!
Just watch Eric Phillips on lead guitar, Betty O'Kay on electric bass
and "Captain Mike" on drums. We'll get you stompin' your feet,
singin' along and of course... participating in a "group salute" or two!
DURANGO MANGO-LIVE MUSIC! -Country & Jimmy Buffett influenced- From Hank Sr.
to Hank Jr. --From Patsy to Mary-Chapin Carpenter, We'll mix it up so everybody is happy! HONEST!
".....you, Eric and Mike are not only very talented, but very entertaining as a band. Your style,
although not completely country, offers a variety of music that would be acceptable in any venue!
You are a mixture of Classic Buffett Country Plus! A Serious Comedy Showcase! That is meant
in a very respectful way to be complimentary. Perhaps next year I will have the opportunity
to do a few songs with you folks!" (taken from a letter to Betty O'Kay -by Dennis Martin-professional performer- founder- New England Country Music Club- 1967 & South Florida Country Music Club-2000)
DURANGO MANGO is a member in good standing
of Rhode Island Country Horizons, Inc.--
the New England Country Music Club--
the Country Music Association of RI--
Massachusetts Country Music Awards Association-
DEMO CDs & PROMO-PAKS ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL
(Just request a "promo-pak" from any of our convenient email links within this site)
NEWS!!Durango Mango's "original" material, deliberately apart
from "worn out" country covers! WILL BE RECORDED in
the future. The Music & lyrics are fresh and unique,
loaded with energy, and that little "splash" of eccentricity that says...
"YEP! THAT SURE IS DURANGO MANGO!"
"Sneak Peek Titles"
Duval Crawl...yep- bought the T-shirt, did the "crawl!"
That's What I Want You To Say... Yep, no Dresden China Doll here!
Window Screen, Time Machine... Time does fly.
Fall Somewhere Else....You can figure it out!
You Can't Go Back To The Future...and tomorrow turned into yesterday.
I've Been Meaning To Talk To You...but, I get nervous and miss my cue!
Singin' In The Key Of Jack Daniel's...pretty much self explanatory
Drifting...It's time to move on and chase a dream!
MORE NEWS !! Several pieces of Betty O'Kay's poetry has been published in Northwest Neighbors! It is a supplement to the Woonsocket Call and is mailed to Northern Rhode Island subscribers!
Thank You NWN!
As of October 6, 2006 Eric Phillips & Betty O'Kay were no longer broadcasting on WOON -1240 due to their move to Maine. Plans were in motion to air both O'Kay's Corral and "THE" Theme Show via satellite. At this point, WOON management has not found a feasible solution... but, stay tuned to THIS website for news on a possible Internet broadcast from the "mountains of Maine!"
