Old heartachin’ country drifting out of a lo-fi radio. A less then full bottle of bourbon, set between friends and the night fightin’ back the sun. That’s the start of it all...at a broken table in a ramshackle little home, lovingly referred to as The House of Bourbon. Eventually it breached the confines of that dingy basement, watch your head, and began to take on a life of it’s own; sounding like the devil formed a band and played a revival.
With good reviews on their debut, sold out, cd Whisky River, the boys released their follow up; Hard Luck and Whisky. A baker’s dozen of true stories, stories that need to be told and some that never should.
Brad “the quiet man” Beard may not say much, but he’ll sing a story ‘round your soul. Writing songs from the experience of growing up on a dirt road beside a cornfield, farming, building and working trains. Scot Campbell cuts in with rockin’ leads and piney harmonies. Greg “B.R.” Auld anchors the songs with an upright bass and baritone vocals.
Taking their love of such disparate bands as Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, The Band and The Clash and coalescing it into a sound that has been described as Honky-Tonk Rock. They’ve shared the soap box with the likes of Paula Nelson, The Legendary Shack Shakers, The Pack, Current Swell, The United Steel Workers of Montreal, Shiloh Lindsay, Swank, Kent McAlistar, Ford Pier, Uncle Nestor, Pernell Reichert, John Guliak, Clay George and more.
Never give up, never apologize and never spill your drink.
