The band is Legendary because the players have over 100 years of combined band experience!
Its Rhythm is self-evident as the beat of the drums and the thump of the bass bring crowds to their feet.
Bandits "borrow" from all genres of great music, including Classic Rock, Country, Soul, and Rhythm & Blues. You might even hear a drop or two of hip-hop.
The Legendary Rhythm Bandits fit into practically every venue, whether it's a Texas Honky-Tonk, a Rock 'n Roll Club, or a smoky Blues Bar. No matter where we play, The Legendary Rhythm Bandits are sure to entertain!
