Actor Billy Bob Thornton is now making music with The Boxmasters.

Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters looked like Gerry and the Pacemakers in their ¤'60s style British suits, but they sounded more like Buck Owens during the first half of Thursday night's show at Whitaker Center.

After intermission, however, Thornton and friends were dressed down and so was the music. They hammered out the kind of barroom rock that sounds just right at 1 a.m. after one too many beers.
