Honky Tonk Confidential is a retro/alt country band from the Washington, D.C. area.

HTC formed in 1997 with its first gig at the JV, an authentic Falls Church honky tonk that has been in the same location for more than 60 years. Since then, the band has played in most major venues in the DC area and recorded four CDs, as well as numerous compilation cuts. HTC has won many Washington Area Musicians Association (WAMA) awards, including Debut Album and Country Album for its eponymous 1999 CD (Honky Tonk Confidential). The band’s second CD, Your Trailer or Mine? (2002) won Album of the Year and Country Album, and its third CD, Who Gets the Fruitcake This Year? (2006) received Wammy awards for Country Album and Song of the Year. Possibly the only song about Pee Wee Herman, “Pee Wee's Gone,” is on Your Trailer or Mine? and the first country song (and likely the last) about Hannukah is “Honky Tonk Hannukah,” which can be found on Who Gets the Fruitcake This Year? Road Kill Stew and other News contains the parody of Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue,” called “A Girl Named Dick.”
