"Honk If You're Yokol!"
The Kent Stephenson Band: Original Western Rock
"KSB" is an original group rooted in the great western traditions of artists such as Waylon Jennings, Buddy Holly (West Texas Panhandle), Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard (California Central Valley) & other outlaw musicians wno never
would toe the mark or walk the line...
Songs such as "Nine Horse", "Genesee" & "Cheyenne" invoke the spirit of a new sound rollin' out of the west, a sound that is at once compelling and different...
