The West End String Band is dedicated to playing and performing traditional bluegrass music and old country songs with modern appeal.

“Old school, sad-bastard outlaw country for a new generation of excited country fans.”  ROLLING STONE

“A traditionalist for the future.”  THE GUARDIAN 

“The twenty-five-year-old from Cleburne, Texas, isn’t the first skinny kid to wear a cowboy hat and a pearl-snap shirt in tribute to the giants of vintage country, but he is one of just a few whose lovesick blues actually sound like they come from the heart.”  GARDEN AND GUN

Cyndi Lou and the Want To – “Honky-Tonk and Country classics with a few surprises thrown in!”

“From the mountains of North Carolina, this trio of twin fiddles and bouzouki are a force to be reckoned with. Straight pure Irish spirit bottled in North Carolina….played as well as you might find in Galway, Cork or Dublin.” – Alex Monaghan, Folkworld Magazine.

Left Lane Cruiser is the “whiskey fueled two man frenzy of blues-driven rock’n roll noise straight from Fort Wayne, Indiana.”  Here’s a taste!

The Steel City Jug Slammers continues a tradition of jug band music that is highly influenced by the sounds of early Memphis string band and blues. Instrumentation in the band varies. While the guitar provides the pallet for the songs, it is carried by the back bone of the washtub bass and jug. On top of that you will hear anything from banjo- mandolin to banjo- guitar and maybe even a little kazoo.

“If Chattanooga wasn’t eclectic enough with its taste in music, The 9th Street Stompers will grab that part of you that’s a little gypsy, a little hillbilly, and a little rock ‘n’ roll. Influenced by the great Django Reinhardt and other greats such as Stephane Grappelli and Oscar Aleman, the Stompers play with a musically impressive approach and do justice to a style of music that would baffle most.” – Scenic City Roots

Moonshine Rhythm Club brings old-school swing and jazz to life with joyful arrangements and energetic playing that makes this vintage music sound like it was written this morning. The boys seek out deep cuts from the 30s and 40s, take their favorite parts from classic big band recordings, and distill them into their signature sound. That sound draws on the guitar-driven, acoustic fire of gypsy jazz, as well as the slow burn and laid-back groove of later artists like Count Basie and Nat “King” Cole. On top of this lays classy and hip vocals with a lighthearted humor.
