About Me |
|
| Southeast of the neon lights of Los Angeles is where
the band West of Texas meets to write their own brand
of Country Honky-tonk. This isn’t the watered down pop
songs you'll find on today’s top 40 radio shows, these boys take their influences from
the heroes of classic Country. It’s the sound you get when
a Central California Native with a
penchant for the shuffles of the Texas honky tonks
meets up with a Native Texan with a love of the
Bakersfield sound and start making music together. It’s the sound of a thousand Texas
Dancehalls, the sound of the truck drivin’ radio shows
and Nashville tunes that came crackling over the AM
band 30 years ago, the sound of the Bakersfield twang.
You’ll find them playing every honk tonk, bar, VFW
Hall and backyard hoedown around Southern California.
A few notes into one of the bands live show and you’ll
be toe tapping, two stepping or swinging along with
their honky tonk shuffles. FOR BOOKING INFO CLICK HERE |
