We need a performance space at least 8 metres x 5 metres. We require 2 x 13 amp sockets and up to 5 parking spaces
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We'd also need to be informed if there's a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes, we are completely self-contained. we bring our own excellent PA system to all our gigs, unless the venue has its own system. We can bring a simple lighting rig.
We can provide a spotify service before and between our sets
This summer, we played at the Ealing Beer Festival for 3 thousand folks, we sounded awesome, the audience loved our tight sound, fantastic repertoire and awesome harmonies.
We also had a great gig at the Rustic Swamp festival in Dorset this summer, the sound engineer was fantastic, we sounded brilliant, it was a fabulous festival!
We love playing festivals, we are a festival band. But we also love playing pubs, clubs, private functions - anywhere where people want to hear classic honky tonkin country music
We all have long pedigrees, 3 of us as full time professional musicians playing with famous bands over a long period, the other two highly experienced in a variety of bands and styles. We got together around 2018 with a mission to play the best of classic country and western swing, having all had a long standing love of country music.
Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen - look them up - cool, wry lyrics, rocking country band mixing up country, western swing, honky tonk, rock & roll and swing. Greatest song of all time - Que Sera Sera - only kiddin! Hot Rod Lincoln - by Commander Cody. Look up their guitarist Bill Kirchen playing it - he impersonates about 100 guitarists/styles - it's hilarious and fabulous!
We normally arrive between 1 and 2 hours before the performance time to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 or 60 minutes sets, although at festivals, it's often 45 - 60 minutes
Yes, we play outside, we have an excellent sound system that can cope with a large outside area
We play tight, well-rehearsed sets, but we may be able to incorporate a song or two that we don't already know, if we have sufficient advanced warning
Barnstorming performance of wonderful rocking country music, awesome harmonies, great soloing on guitar and pedal steel, fabulous tight rhythm section and charismatic, wry front man
Several of our songs are suitable for line dancing, we do get a lot of folks up and line dancing, although i wouldn't say we specialise in it
