The Fall Guys are Texas Folk & Roll. Folk rock with a twist. The Beatles meet Sir Douglas Quintet. Roy Orbison meets John Fogerty. They are The Fall Guys. Anoth
The Fall Guys are Dennis Hansen & Michael Hickman, two High School friends that started their musical journey in the early 60’s. After years apart they have joined creative forces again to write some of the most insightful Folk & Roll you will ever hear. Their songs are stories of love and life spoken from experience and delivered with conviction and compassion. Come on along for the ride, you won't be sorry you did.

Story behind the song
Twilight Roller Rink In 1966 & 67, our band The Bringalls was managed by a guy named Homer Gay, who owned two venues. One was the Grand Prix Ballroom in Bay City, TX and the other was The Twilight Roller Rink, in Wharton, TX. We virtually lived at the Twilight. We played there along with many of the Texas bands that had regional and nation following such as The Fever Tree, Moving Sidewalks (later ZZ Top), The Playboys of Edinburgh, Neil Ford & The Fanatics, B.J. Thomas, The Coastliners and many more. After the placed closed at night, we would fire up the grill, make burgers, and roller skate until all hours of the morning. This is our ode to a lost breed, the roller rink.
