The Buckshot Hounds are : Aaron T Heindel – rhythm guitar and lead vocals; Jason Hiland – lead guitar and vocals; Andy Sivwright -drums; Ted Yi -bass guitar; Chris Bartley – keys and vocals.

Having laid a foundation on a sound that blends the stories and songwriting of country and folk with the grit and punch of blues & good old fashioned rock-n-roll, The Buckshot Hounds have carved themselves a place to stand where few have stood before them. Basically, five hicks playing some kick-ass rock & roll. Hope you like it.

OLD GRAND DAD is an ethylene soaked 4-piece from Chicago, Illinois. Bred for rockabilly, these freaks have started sneakin’ out by the light of the moon to taste the rest of the “Devil’s music.”

California bass man Cody “Goose” Siragusa and Hoosier drummer deluxe Danny Lee Beasley shared a love of the old man’s music and a serving job in Wrigleyville; enough said. Their duet turned trio with guitarist and North Avenue homeboy Colin Brennan, a bastard of city and country but Irish enough to break a string each night. Then somehow Chauncey Davis-Mauney snuck in from Mississippi with a harmonica and the room was full.

Road tested and dancer approved, OGD is an all-singing, all-writing, washer pitchin’ electric hayride on fire. BYOFireworks. Goose handles the matches. 

Featured on WXRT’s Local Anesthetic with Richard Milne and on WGN’s Pretty Late with Patti Vasquez.

The Alder Kings are a three piece, high octane, high gain, instrumental psycho surfabilly band from Chicago. Since forming in 2011, The Alder Kings have gained exposure on the national and international level. Rooted in the classics, but definitely not your Daddy’s surf.
