Experience
Dubbed “The Biggest Little Band in the Land,” powerhouse Western swing trio 'The Western Flyers' serve up an irresistibly hot, unmistakably Texas-style sound popularized by Bob Wills in the 1940s with an electrifying energy all their own.

... c country, 1940's swing & jazz classics, fiery Texas fiddle tunes, the Ameripolitan Western swing group of the Year is guaranteed to have even the shyest of wallflowers tappin' their toes or swinging on the dance floor.
