WOLF HAMLIN & THE FRONT PORCH DRIFTERS
Wolf and his rowdy bunch burst on to the national music scene in 2012 after appearing on American Idol season 11 and taking his smokey sweet voice on the road with his outlaw country band The Front Porch Drifters. Wolf, a Kansas boy, grew up working on engine blocks in his living room while Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings records played incessantly. A prolific song writer and story teller Wolf Hamlin brings a new voice and sound to a genre influenced by Willie, Cash, Haggard, Jr. and Jennings. Standing 6' 3" and over 225 lbs. Wolf brings down the house every night with his powerful vocals, contagious energy and a reputation of keeping the party going well after closing time. While Wolf plays the Git-Fiddle, The Front Porch Drifters stay in the pocket for groove stomping diddies, but improvisational violin and guitar solos are a staple in every set. Based out of Livermore, CA the band is looking for venues to deliver there live show mojo...this IS the band your mom warned you about.

Dry County Drinkers is Sacramento Valley's Premier Honky-Tonk Band! Blending the Country Music Sounds of yesteryear with the parlance of our time. Jon Emery's song writing is influenced by the tongue in cheek lyrics of Jerry Reed and Hank Thompson while capturing the soul and sounds of mid-70's country like Johnny Paycheck and George Jones. The band have been nominated every year since 2010 as Outstanding Country/Americana Band by the local Sammies Committee and have released a handful of EPs and albums.
