BITTERROOT
Energy packed Rockabilly, Americana, Swamp Rock & Blues
“Rockabilly meets the bluesey sound of Bitterroot - a joy to watch and listen to.

Bitterroot was assembled from locomotive parts in 2012.
It now blazes heat and goes like a train!
Faces will smile and feet will move - it's futile to resist.
The repertoire is one third original, two thirds covers of assorted 'Americana'.
There are lots of instantly recognisable songs, often having an original makeover.
Featuring a combination of soaring slide guitar and mandola, backed by thumping double bass and drums, the vocals then take it to another level with fabulous harmonies.
