honky-tonker
Country bar patron
A honky-tonker is someone who frequents honky-tonks—the rough-edged bars and dance halls associated with country music.
The term can also describe a musician who plays in such venues or performs in that raw, piano-driven style: He spent his twenties as a honky-tonker in Texas roadhouses.
