Classic 30s and 40s western swing with a modern edgeHillbilly Deluxe Western Swing Band
The Band
‘Hillbilly Deluxe’ is the most infectiously danceable western swing and country band this side of Texas. Comprised of four outstanding players, they set a groove so authentic you’d swear you were in a bar in Nashville! If you are looking for something different from the mainstream, they provide driving swing and shuffling 2 steps that will have you up and out of your seat in no time. If you have any preconceptions about what real country music is about, play the samples, we dare you…!What we play:
• Classic 30s and 40s western swing with a modern edge
• Great honky tonk from the 50s
• The best of the alt country music scene up to the present dayWhat we don’t play:
• Any cliched big hair '70s schmaltz
• “Achy Breaky Heart”!
• Anything by Kenny Rogers, John Denver etc…you get the picture..The Musicians:
Simon Sparrow has been involved in the music business for 25 years. He has worked with countless American artists and is a regular player on the Austin music scene. His deep edged tenor voice and instinctive understanding of the genre gives power and authenticity to the band’s western chic.Matt Windler is the passion and panache behind the band. A guitarist of impeccable taste and style, his Telecaster snap is irresistible…We challenge you to find a more authentic guitar picker without crossing the Atlantic!
Francois deVille is an outstanding, multi-talented musician who plays bass, guitar and pedal steel. Soulful and with a powerful groove, Francois is the engine room of the band’s driving sound as well as provider of sweet harmony vocals.
Dil Davies has been playing drums for 25 years and is rightly considered one of the finest drummers in the South. Be it swing, shuffle or waltz, Dil is the man that makes your feet refuse to stand still.
But don’t take our word for it - play the tracks and see for yourself. You’ll hear a seamless sound of a band that conveys the joy of the music they love; infectious, danceable and great, great fun! And when you see them live, you’ll know why they are the most popular country band in the whole of the UK!
