George’s Majestic Lounge, where country-fried rock is king. This weekend, Cross Canadian Ragweed will play two consecutive sold-out shows at the venue, which the group has enjoyed since its beginning.

“We’ve been going there for years, and we kind of have a loyalty there,” said drummer Randy Ragsdale.

The band gained notoriety in the mid-90s in Stillwater, Okla., a small college town with bars, parties and country music lovers. “There was a great, underrated local scene, and we’ve taken it as our job to spread this music around,” Ragsdale said.

Here, the group fashioned a live show that would become their calling card. CCR’s set is a ragtag assembly of tunes from “every era of [its] 15 years” as a band.

“We try to put ourselves into the show,” he said.

The group’s last studio effort, 2009’s Happiness and All the Other Things, wandered to varied instrumentation, but CCR will always be the same band, Ragsdale said.

“Not a lot has changed. We’re the same guys doing the same thing, we’ve just done some living in between,” he said. “I don’t think anything’s lacking.”

The band’s next move? An album comprised solely of cover songs, in tribute to the Oklahoma musicians that inspired CCR.

Cross Canadian Ragweed will perform tonight and tomorrow at 9 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively. For those opposed to buying scalped tickets, both shows are sold out.
