The Lowdown Drifters are a hard living, hard loving and hard leaving group of Ft. Worth based musicians blending country, rock and Americana into a sound of their own; the epitome of a rock band with a fiddle problem. With heartfelt and sincere melodies crafted by their accurately named frontman Big John Cannon, the Drifters live show is a high energy experience, highlighting their songs that capture the highs and lows of the human experience. The Drifters have been propelled to over 500,000 monthly listeners and 50 million total streams by their wildly successful album Last Call for Dreamers which has led them to share the stage with artists including Randy Rogers, Koe Wetzel, LeAnn Rimes and Zach Bryan. The Lowdown Drifters look forward to a packed 2024 with several singles currently in production and a full album to follow with Grammy Award nominated producer Wes Sharon (Turnpike Troubadours, American Aquarium, John Fulbright) and Malcolm Springer (Matchbox 20, Collective Soul) as well as a national supporting tour to follow.
A country band rooted in San Diego, California, Westwinders blend the sounds of Americana, Bakersfield honky-tonk, old time, and roots rock music. Formed by Erik Olson, Mitchel Harden, and Nick Steckel, the band blends soulful storytelling with raw, authentic instrumentation, creating a sound that is both as fresh as it is timeless.
Westwinder’s music reflects the life experiences of it’s members, who are not only talented musicians but also hard working tradesmen; songwriter, guitarist, and mandolinist Erik Olson currently serves as a Fire Engineer/ Paramedic and carpenter. Hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas, bassist Mitch Harden is a highly skilled craftsmen and wood worker. Steel guitarist Nick Steckel and Erik have been friends since junior high school and their musical connection is evident and nostalgic, having spent their formative years in various rock, punk, and country outfits.
Westwinders create a sound that’s both familiar and entirely their own. Their live shows are a testament to their craftsmanship, whether performing in intimate venues or larger festivals. Catch them live as soon as you get the chance.
SNI has been referred to as the most authentic sounding tribute to Fleetwood Mac to date! The haunting vocals and performance of Diana Grace are “Spot On” as Stevie Nicks from the early years of the 1970’s, and Monty Sommer recreates Lindsey Buckingham’s vocals and unique and intricate guitar work to sheer perfection! World Class musicianship combined with the chemistry and performance of all five band members is pure magic and all with no tracks! Laurie Richardson captures the essence of Christine McVie in voice, as well as on keyboards. The band showcases the Best of Fleetwood Mac plus specially selected songs from Stevie Nicks’ solo career. Dave Christensen is superb as Mick Fleetwood on drums and style, and Jeff Bennett on bass rounds out the group with his solid rock groove as John McVie! The shows are exciting as well as intimate, as they connect with the audience and engage with them in what can only be described as a magical shared musical experience!
