Sixteen Tons

We are a rootsy rock & roll band. There will be no pyrotechnics or fog machines. There will be a small amount of stage patter, mostly inside jokes and Spinal Tap references. We can dress up if you require, or even if you just ask politely, but we don't put on matchy outfits or anything.

We will play country- and blues-tinged rock and roll music, and sometimes will just play country and blues music too. You might know some of the words and we love that, but probably you wont. Most of the time people enjoy the bejeezus out of it anyway.

We've been a band for 14 years. Three trained professionals and one vaguely charismatic goon up front hogging all the attention.

Plenty of clean power at the stage/performance area. If your venue is larger than 500 cap, you must provide a soundman with PA system large enough to project our wonderful music. If you like, we can arrange for that for an additional fee. Lights would be nice. A flat surface on which to set up is also a requirement (especially for the drums), preferably with a small degree of separation from the audience, depending on how rowdy you expect them to be.
