281 South derived from the classic rock influences such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Aerosmith, Marshall Tucker Band, and of course Skynyrd. What brought them into the Texas Music was bands and artists such as Stoney Larue, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Brandon Rhyder, Pat Green, Reckless Kelly, (Little Brothers) Mickey and the Motorcars, and many more. Staying in touch with there Country roots they perform songs by Haggard, Willie Nelson, as well as Hank Williams Jr.
The band consists of lead vocals, and rhythm guitar Jimmy Sliger. Bass, harmonica, harmony vocals, Phillip Baker. Drummer, Scott Lofton, & Fiddle, Clayton Bankston. Clayton keeps the band grounded with his sweet string renditions. Giving the band the edge they needed to put them in that crowd pleasing category.
You may have seen the band open for acts such as Stoney Larue, Brandon Jenkins, Tommy Alverson, Cooder Graw, Sonny Burgess, Ed Burleson, Joey Green, Kyle Hunt, Mark Mckinney,Ryan Turner and many more. 281 South is not picky where they play as long as there is someone there to listen to their creative style. Whether it be one person or ten thousand they are there for one thing and that is to touch folks with their heart felt, soulful, country music.
Look for 281 South to be moving forward in the Texas Music Scene making a name for their heart felt style of music. Look for the upcoming single (Coming Home Tonight) and album to be spinning on all local radio stations.
We are very thankful for the support from family and friends and enjoy being able to perform on stage.

Hey, just stopping by to wish ya a great weekend and hopefully run into ya. There's alot going on at Pitchers Sports Bar in Arlington. Tomorrow night were hosting the debut of SACRED GROOVE, a Lynch Mob tribute band featuring local rock legends Russ D.Contreras on Guitar, Andy Murray on Vocals, Kenny Sizelove on Drums & last by not least Harm Wilson on Bass. If you thought that was enough... uh.. WRONG! A huge party will set off by Maiden Texxas! Best part of all this?? Only FIVE BUCKS to see 3 rocking bands with a possible special guest! Show starts at 8pm. Saturday has a great line up of 4 rock bands, then each weekend till mid December is looking the same. Wow, right? The local rock scene vibe is back & stronger than ever!
Oh, and if you wanna check out the local who's who in the DFW rock scene, go check out the DFW NOISE myspace (www.myspace.com/dfwnoise). We're close to releasing reviews, shoutouts and all kinds of content, like what's going on for Halloween for the October issue. We also have new staff contributors! :D If your a freelance reporter or photographer, I want to hear from you. DFW NOISE is reporting on the BUZZ in the local music scene. Speaking of which...
just checked out a new totally underground garage party that'll be happening on the weekends with live bands & it's BYOB. The band According to Legend with help from their close friends & family have come together to provide a place we can just go hang out, like a block party. It's for 21+ only with a $10 donation.
What else.. hmmm.. Alot of great band nights, which I just can't even sum up! You just gotta go check out the calendar. Oh, and confirmed last night, PIMPADELIC will be coming back to Pitchers in January! Keep your eyes on the lil' bar for great band nights with cheap drinks and low cover charge. www.my
Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.
"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.
For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".
On the eve of the release of their most important release yet, Metal Hammer have posted an outstanding three-page article featuring the mighty Skindred. Once again the publication asks “Why aren’t they the biggest band on the planet?”.
