Influences
If it came out of Nashville or Memphis,Tennessee in the late 1940s or anytime in the 1950s, it is probably on our set list. We love Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and so many more.
With over twenty years of cumulative musical experience in everything from avant-garde ambient rock to blues to heavy metal to old country music, the Reckless Hearts have joined forces and stripped their sound down to muscle and bone. Bob Tyler plays stand-up bass and sings lead. With years of experience playing country music in San Francisco, he brings with him a strong stage persona, great playing and singing skills, and some very cool vintage Western suits. A drummer in his other life, Bruce Fuller plays rock-solid acoustic rhythm guitar and sings back-up. Chris Snethen also sings back-up and plays a mean electric lead through a vintage '60s Fender Twin Reverb amplifier. These boys are the real deal.
They play honky tonk and rockabilly in the classic style.

The "Train" Rolls In By Tom Weber Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN
BYRON -- Wayne "the Train" Hancock, whose traditional country music is strongly influenced by Hank Williams and Bob Wills, will perform at 8 p.m. April 25 at the Byron American Legion Post.
Hancock calls himself a "hillbilly with attitude," and says he wants to take back country music from the over-commercialization of recent decades. As a clue to his viewpoint, Hancock is based in Austin, Texas, rather than the traditional country hometown of Nashville.
"I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville," Hancock has said.
The AllMusic Guide says of Hancock, "A rare breed of traditionalist, one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passions that his songs never feel like the museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. "
Hancock's latest CD, "Viper of Melody," is produced by Lloyd Maines, who has produced albums for Wilco, Uncle Tupelo and the Dixie Chicks.
Tickets are $15, available at the door. Opening act is Brother Music Sister Rhythm. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m.
Wayne has a new album due out April 21st on Bloodshot Records entitled "Viper Of Melody" and then on Saturday, April 25th, 2009, he will be playing at the Byron American Legion.
We invite you to take your hot rod on it's first road trip of the year and come on out for a great night of Rockabilly and Swing.
Wayne is scheduled to go on at 8:30 and play the whole night with a break in the middle.
The American Legion in Byron, Mn., is just outside Rochester and has a BIG dance floor, plenty of tables and chairs for everyone, and inexpensive drinks... so come on down and party with us!
When did you put up "Mind Your Own Business"? I love that song.
I also love your logo, I don't know if that is what it would be called but for the sake of Myspace commenting we'll say that is what it is called. It kind of reminds me of the typeset that Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins used on their last tour.
