Sounds Like
Lou Derr has come up with his own style of "Rockin" Country Music"
growing up listening to the big artists in the late 60's and 70's, mix that with the Southern Rock greats and Keep it a bit 50's Boogie , I guess it would be one hell of a night and don't forget the "Outlaw Country" We do it all. But Lou Derr & Bootleg are a truly "Rockin" Country" band.

In 1979 Lou moved up to Lake County and played in several bands 90-Proof was a very popular band in the 80’s in and around Lake County. It wasn’t until 1986 that Lou decided it was time to get serious. He formed his own band Bootleg later to become Lou Derr & Bootleg.
