Stories told like never before, at speeds way past the legal limits. Energy overload as the guitar rips off another solo and the drums carry through the chorus on a train beat thats lost its brakes. By the third song the sweat is pouring off your body as you close your eyes and slide across the floor in a mad two-steppin boot-scootin frenzy, abandoning all efforts to steer clear of the writhing mass around you. This is country! The way its supposed to be! Its the Whisky Dicks!

An exciting blend of Americana and Country-rock, they bring twang and bang to a new generation of country fans. They are on the edge, ready to give corporate mainstreamers the middle finger.

Lead singer and main songwriter Fred Engler has been crafting songs for almost ten years. Influences by Johnny Cash and Jimmy Buffett are evident in the clever lyrics, while the melodic hooks will have you singing along. Clearly the red cowboy hat and jumbo guitar are a must!

Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, lead guitarist Tyler Powers shows a talent far beyond his age. After winning numerous competitions while still in high school, he received a coveted scholarship to attend Musicians Institute, which boasts one of the best guitar programs in the world. Influences range from Brad Paisley to Lynyrd Skynyrd and everything between. His chicken-pickin and lightning fast solos are the unmistakable trademark that lights the fire of the Whisky Dicks.

Bassist Jazz Lim is definitely the punk-rock chick in the band. Definitly the toughest of the band, you just can't stop this girl. Her signature raw country-punk style and attitude can shake the room so that aftershocks are felt far beyond the city limits.

Who thought that a Valley Girl could sing country? Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, background vocalist Kate Strand is gifted with a keen ear for harmonies and a voice that ranges from the crystal purity of Alison Krauss to the raunchy bellows of Winona. And those pigtails are oh-so cute!

Together, the Whisky Dicks are an original Hollywood story. If you like David Allan Coe, Dr. Hook, or the Rolling Stones, you will love the dicks! After grouping at Musicians Institute, the bands rise to popularity was quick thanks to a hard-working attitude and a great vibe on stage. In the Fall of 2005, they won the Artist Development showcase organized by industry legend Kenny Kerner and judged by major label representatives including Tony Ferguson. They have been recognized as one of the most entertaining bands to come from the Musicians Institute since their opening in 1978. A 10 song CD is in now in the bag; go to our website to buy one now!
