THE STORY: Since forming in 1988, BIG SANDY AND HIS FLY RIGHT BOYS have emerged as one of the world's most respected practitioners of American roots music, western swing, rockabilly, and traditional country. They play it like they invented it. They've played the Grand Ole Opry and Late Night With Conan O'Brien and now we're excited that they'll be bringing their great old time rock and roll to LEAF. "I think of us as just a rock and roll band. A rock and roll band that's letting the roots show," says bandleader Big Sandy. The group ascribes to a vintage aesthetic from Kingsman's 1957 custom Magnatone guitar to Jeff West's stand up bass and Trimble's vintage kit, these guys play instruments that were used when this style of music was just coming into existence. Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys transcend their genre the same way all iconic artists do by creating music so good, songs that are so well written, that the genre is simply a launching pad for the integrity of the art. This music is timeless.
