The Diablo Rhythm Wranglers play catchy (ok, irresistible) songs in the Country/Western Swing/Americana genre, and their charm positively jumps off the stage and is projected throughout the room. Featuring lush vocal harmonies, tasty guitar licks, awesome accordion and sweet fiddle, you’ll be transported back to a musical place you remember from long ago.
The Diablo Rhythm Wranglers are delighted to share their renditions of the works of Texas Swing greats Bob Wills and Cindy Walker, cowboy songs and tunes made famous by country legends Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and many more. Good time dance music!
We perform as a duo, trio, quartet or more!
Absolutely delightful had lots of fun!
Response from Diablo Rhythm Wranglers:
Thank you for including us in such a great celebration !
When my friends and I hear that Diablo Rhythm Wranglers are performing we drop everything, don our cowboy hats and boots, and get ready to dance. The band never disappoints and the chemistry between the two lead singers, Deb and Doug is palpable...similar to Johnny and June Cash.
The Diablo Rhythm Wranglers are playing authentic Western, Western Swing, and Cowboy music, and doing it right. Go see them if you have the chance.
Thr Rhythm Wanglers are pure fun. Upbeat, energetic and skilled, they bring vintage favorites, new sounds and fresh instrumental arrangements . Hire this band!
I've booked the Diablo Rhythm Wranglers for my church on multiple occasions. They are crowd pleasers. While not a "Christian" band, they tailored their music perfectly for our events and provided a great musical experience. This is not my only experience with these guys. They play lively, fun music all over the area and great for any venue.
They were so entertaining, all of my guests loved them. I had a large private party at my house with 80 people or so and people danced, clapped and tapped their feet. They are a very professional group and very talented musicians and tailor their songs to your preferences. I wanted lively music and that’s what they delivered!

Diablo Rhythm Wranglers will bring uplifting, danceable, nostalgic songs and just plain fun to your event. We will remind your grandparents of the songs they knew well and at the same performance, we'll mesmerize the small children with our version of "Wheels on the Bus." We'll bring on the romance with a Patsy Cline ballad or a cowboy song and then get you rocking and swinging with our mostly upbeat repertoire. Featuring lush vocal harmonies, tasty guitar licks, awesome accordion and sweet fiddle, you’ll be transported back to a musical place you remember from long ago.
We do not have a drummer so our sound can be as quiet as you like. We are as happy playing in the background as we are bringing on a full show. We show up (on time) in western costumes ready to charm the boots off your guests.
We are a fun alternative to Americana, jazz or rock and work well for nostalgia and cowboy themed events.
