Modern Country/Classic Rock covers with a mix of original material.
They’ve taken the country music scene by storm with their take no prisoner’s attitude and their all-out high-energy shows. By successfully mixing classic-rock with modern country music, they have created a fresh presence in the country music scene. They are an E ticket ride, and definitely worth the price of admission. BUT be forewarned, they are not the typical “cry in your beer” country band. They are…Rebelicious!
