Never stop a song unless you’re getting shot at. Jake Standridge’s dad, who played bass in country and Southern rock cover bands, used to tell him that all the time. How to handle things if things went sideways onstage at a gig.

“You know, be professional,” Standridge says now. “If you mess up, keep going.” The advice stuck with Standridge, who grew up in the town of Trinity which is near Decatur and about 40 miles from Huntsville.

Years later, Jake was in his 20s and playing guitar in talented local stoner-rock band The Moose. During a 2015 gig in Nashville, he jumped up into the air during the first song, landed wrong and fell into his amp.

“My kneecap was hanging off the side of my leg,” Standridge says. “We finished the song though.” He didn’t knock the beers off the top of his amp either. “They had to call an ambulance to get me off the stage,” he says before adding, “but I got a standing ovation as I went out.”

Before the band left the venue to follow Standridge to the hospital, bassist Ethan Kirby’s better half Tiffany had to go to the bathroom. On the ladies room wall, she saw freshly minted graffiti: “Boozy broke his leg but kept playing.” The graffiti inspired the name of their next band, Boozy Slufoot.
