The Western Flyers - Country & Western Band - Fort Worth, Texas Event Location: San Antonio, Texas Event Type: Intl. Corporate Conference 14th September 2023

From the moment I heard them on-line, I knew they were the best fit for my client event. Their sound is toe-tapping good and makes for a lively night.They were easy to contact and answered all of my questions on a timely manner. They traveled from north Texas to San Antonio and were early for set-up. They arranged for a local sound person and saved me the hassle. Our event was held at the San Antonio Zoo and Zoo staff requested their information for future possibilities. Besides professional, and incredibly accommodating, they're downright nice and talented. The clients LOVED them too. After dinner, no-one moved, they just sat and enjoyed. Thanks Western Flyers!

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. Featuring a fresh, all-star lineup led by Western swing master Joey McKenzie on rhythm guitar & vocal, national champion fiddler Ridge Roberts on fiddle & vocal, upright bassist Matthew Mefford, and Grammy award winning telecaster master Redd Volkaert (Merle Haggard's 'Strangers' band fame) on lead guitar & vocal. Delivering a mix of Western swing, classi ... 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.
