THURSDAY LOWDOWN: Buy Him a Boat, Already!

Judging solely by the fact that the clip for "Buy Me a Boat" has over 90 million views on YouTube, it seems plausible that you may have heard country star Chris Janson's music in one form or another. Well, this Thursday he will be doing his thing up at Bear River Casino. Bring pictures of your boat you're trying to sell. Janson's in the market.

More Thursday night options in your Lowdown listings below.
