Sounds Like
Traditional Rockin' and Hillbilly Boppin' Rockabilly!!
The Star Devils ignite their fire-driven rockabilly and hillbilly bop with a traditional sound and a dangerous talent for blowing away your billy-bop blues.
Regarded as one of the best bands on the Rockabilly circuit;
these three Kentucky Kats have a fever for the bone breaking billy that's sure to set your feet a-tappin and your tongues a-waggin !
Taking their cues from the pioneers of those rock boppin' beats, they have an uncanny ability to play and perform the sounds of yesterday with their own style.
Always packing the joints where ever they play, the StarDevils are also infamous for marveling crowds at such weekenders as Hemsby in England, Oneida Casino's Rockin' 50's Fest (Greenbay, WI.),VIVA LAS VEGAS Rockabilly Weekender, The 2002-2007 Indy Rockabilly Rebel Weekender,Road Agents Rumble & The 2nd annual Detroit Motor City Spin-Out,
Here's what people are saying:
" Widely popular group.....of rockabilly aficionados...
Lot's of hiccup and smokin' guitar! An all around rockin' good time, "The Devils Music" is sure to make even the tamest of people get a little bad!!!"

Hi Guys, Great to meet you last Saturday in Leicester. Thanks for a Killer show at The Rockabilly Retribution. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, watching you.
Hi Lance & Jim. Good to see you in at Hayes and Leicester, England. Great Sets both times. Hope you got back safe and hope to see you again. All the best Carl
Thanks for 2 absolutely brilliant gigs at BCKs Basildon and Farningham England. I have made a total of 9 videos of you on Youtube, which I hope brings back great memories. Love Ruthie xxx
Hey Lance......Looks like things are going really well with you and your band. I wish my ears were good enough to be joining you on stage, but age does take it's toll.....keep up the good work and I wish you all the best..
Hi Lance, glad you like the photos, you are very welcome. Hope the tour is going well and your having fun. In bristol we were all very impressed with your music , well worth going out on a bath night! Hope to get to leicester this weekend . Shane .
Hiya lance, yes I hope I can make it and thanks for the addy on here, mandy & nessa, sandra have put some great pics from fridaynight up on their pages.. I will add some of them pics to my facebook site (Chris R Jackson) check them out.... By the way I love the cd (country style) you play and perform some excellent original material and I like that very much... Cover bands are ten a penny and I believe that by writing your own stuff or performing other song writers material makes an artist 100% better in my eyes (and ears, lol)....Chris
