Traditional Rockin' and Hillbilly Boppin' Rockabilly!!
The Star Devils ignite their fire-driven rockabilly and hillbilly bop with a traditional sound and a dangerous talent for blowing away your billy-bop blues.
Regarded as one of the best bands on the Rockabilly circuit;
these three Kentucky Kats have a fever for the bone breaking billy that's sure to set your feet a-tappin and your tongues a-waggin !
Taking their cues from the pioneers of those rock boppin' beats, they have an uncanny ability to play and perform the sounds of yesterday with their own style.
Always packing the joints where ever they play, the StarDevils are also infamous for marveling crowds at such weekenders as Hemsby in England, Oneida Casino's Rockin' 50's Fest (Greenbay, WI.),VIVA LAS VEGAS Rockabilly Weekender, The 2002-2007 Indy Rockabilly Rebel Weekender,Road Agents Rumble & The 2nd annual Detroit Motor City Spin-Out,
