MIX A HEAPIN HELPIN SERVIN OF SKYNYRD AND A PINCH OF ALLMAN BROTHERS,WITH A DASH HANK III, AND A WHOLE HANDFUL OF KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS, A SPLASH OF NITRO AND GUNPOWDER AND THEN THROW INTO A BLENDER AND BLEND UNTIL IT BLOWS UP AN CATCHES FIRE, BEST SERVED WITH A HOME BREW OR A FINE BOURBAN. THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!!!

SIDEWINDER BEGAN OVER 10 YEARS AGO,BY LEAD GUITARIST BILL REIN,THERE HAS BEEN SOME GREAT MUSICIANS THAT HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS BAND, BUT THE LINE UP WE HAVE TODAY HAS BEEN GOING STRONG FOR OVER 4 YEARS. THROUGH THE YEARS THIS BAND HAS BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE CREATED A GREAT FAN BASE.
AND IT SEEMS IT GETS LARGER AND LARGER, EACH AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE THE OPPERTUNITY TO PLAY IN FRONT OF A CROWD. WE BELIEVE THAT THE WORDS OF THE LATE GREAT RONNIE VANZANT(LYNYRD SKYNYRD) EXPLAINS US, "IF IT LOOKS GOOD,YOU WILL SEE IT;IF IT SOUNDS GOOD,YOU WILL HEAR IT;BUT,IF IT IS FROM THE HEART,AND IT IS REAL YOU WILL FEEL IT."SIMPLE WORDS FROM A SIMPLE MAN. WE COULD PROBABLY WRITE A BIO ON EACH GUY, AND TELL YOU WERE HE'S FROM AND GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE BANDS HE HAS PLAYED WITH, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS THAT YOU SPENT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO COME OUT AND CHECK THIS "LOCAL SOUTHERN ROCKIN,PSYCHOBILLY,HARD DRIVEN OUTLAW COUNTRY BLUES BAND" AND WE CANT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO US.THERE ARE SO MANY BANDS OUT THERE TO PICK FROM BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOU CHOOSE TO HANG WITH US AND THAT IS A GREAT THING,WE CANT REALLY EXPLAIN WHY,I GEUSS WE HAVE BEEN PRETTY TRUE TO THE MUSIC AND THATS WHAT MAYBE KEEPS YOU GUYS COMING BACK,WE ARE JUST FIVE GUYS WHO LOVE TO DO WHAT WE DO,AND IT MAKES IT THAT MUCH BETTER HAVING OUR LOYAL FANS"HARDCORE HELLRAISERS" IF YOU WILL. SO IF YOU JUST STUMBLED ACROSS THIS MESSAGE TO THE FANS AND REALLY DONT KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT THIS BAND, COME ON OUT NEXT TIME YOU SEE "SIDEWINDER" ON A BILLBOARD SIGN, HAVE A COLD ONE WITH US AND KICK BACK AND LISTEN,YOU WONT BE MAD AT YOURSELF YOU DID...............THANKYOU
