Glen Templeton / The Full Throttle Band Boys and Girls Club Benefit Concert!


Join us for a Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks benefit concert featuring Glen Templeton & The Full Throttle Band and special guest The Fury! For tickets call Black Oak Mountain Amphitheater at 417-779-1222!


Glen Templeton is one of Country Music’s most promising up and coming stars. In 2008 Glen Templeton was hand picked by Conway Twitty’s daughters to portray Conway in the touring musical tribute to their father. They first heard about Glen through Joni Twitty’s husband, John Wesley Ryles. Ryles, a noted studio background vocalist, had worked with Glen on demo projects. “With more than 20,000 hopefuls auditioning for the part, Joni Twitty finally found a powerful voice capable of conveying many of the same qualities Conway had”. “One of he biggest thrills of my life was performing the inaugural show of the musical,” explains Templeton. We were still waiting for my wardrobe to be finished for the tour and I actually got to wear some of Conway’s old suits. I wore these custom wigs they made for me out in LA. I was singing his songs and hearing people react to them the way they must have reacted to him. In a way, it was like getting a chance to literally walk in the shoes of one of my musical heroes.”

Glen Templeton toured the circuit playing to several thousand people each weekend for his own shows and was the opening act for a number of top names in country music. Never forgetting his old school country roots, Glen cites the shows he performed on tour with George Jones in early 2009 as some of his favorites. He has also appeared on CMT, The Grand Ole Opry, The Ryman, and a long list of regional performance venues.

Special guest The Fury will also perform at the Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks benefit concert! The Fury is a hard rock band based in Phoenix, AZ. They have been together for almost three years and have played several shows around the valley. The Fury are Jimmy Matteucci (Guitar and Vocals), Patrick Boyle (Drums), Jeff Little (Guitar), and Eric Thorn (Bass and Vocals).

With the harmonically pleasing progressions and blistering leads The Fury’s sound became known for its guitar driven punch. Shortly after their debut, audiences realized there was much more to The Fury when Pat’s indescribable and incomparable drum solos became a staple at The Fury’s live shows. The Fury incorporated two main vocalists, Jimmy and Eric, whose different timbers and approach added melodic variety and a broader scope of musical genres. By following the sounds of classic rock artists, The Fury tastefully brought a harder sound to the enduring styles of old. Over the past years, The Fury has continued to write and perform their music throughout Phoenix, constantly growing and adding a certain maturity to their sound.
