Straight from our very own Panhandle opry is Pickle Jar. The band took on that name because of the tradition of bands who played for tips. Many times the place where they were playing served pickles, and had an extra pickle jar the band could use for the crowd to put their tips in. They have a unique sound with a wide variety of music from Merle Haggard and Buck Owens to Steve Miller Band and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Band members include Mike Porter, Gordon Michael Porter, Eli Porter, Philip Gaither and Jim Cosson.
