Texas' finest Western Swing, traditional country, feel-good honky tonk, Texas fiddle band!
Powerhouse Western Swing outfit 'The Western Flyers' serve up an irresistible unmistakably Texas-style sound popularized by Bob Wills in the 1940s with an electrifying energy all their own. Featuring a fresh, all-star lineup led by archtop guitar slinger Joey McKenzie on guitar & vocal, 23 year old fiddle phenom Ridge Roberts on fiddle & vocal (current and two time US National Fiddle Champion), and ‘Ace of the bass’ Matthew Mefford. Delivering a mix of Western Swing, traditional country, feel good honky tonk, jazz standards & fiery Texas fiddle tunes, the Ameripolitan Western Swing group of the Year is guaranteed to have even the shyest of wallflowers tappin' their toes or swinging on the dance floor.
