Lonely East Drifters
Act fee £800 to £995
"We got both kinds of music here... we got country AND western." East Lonesome Drifters pay homage to traditional honky tonk, western swing, the Bakersfield Sound and bluegrass – with all the original energy and edge of electric bar bands from country's classic era. Hailing from Southwestern Pennsylvania, singer Crispy Cowboy gives authentic voice to the stories behind the songs – handpicked gems from the likes of Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Harlan Howard, Gram Parsons, Buck Owens, Bob Dylan, Steve Young, Willie Nelson and many others. Inspired by these great writers the band have recently recorded and released their debut EP of original songs, showcasing their road-tested live lineup: three part harmonies, pedal steel, acoustic guitar, telecaster, piano, kick drum and electric bass.

Lonely East Drifters
The Lonely East Drifters played at our Barn Dance to 70 people and were brilliant. Everyone attending made comment how great they were and they were all really great and sociable guys. It was a pleasure to have them at our event and will definitely be booking them again! Regards Michelle
