The Spurs

Western Swing/Country/Rockabilly

Biography

The Spurs formed in 1997, quickly became a sensation on the club scene playing western swing, honky tonky, and hillbilly boogie, and their CD, Go, Boy, Go! was released in 2000 on Nashville's Spinout label to unanimous rave reviews. The album made end-of-the-year Top Ten lists at both the Boston Phoenix and online magazine Miles of Music. In 2001, the Boston Music Awards nominated The Spurs as the best country act category. But the band must be seen live to be fully appreciated. DJ Brian Sinclair of the long-running Hillbilly at Harvard radio show has called The Spurs "the best live act I've seen in 30 years of clubgoing." The band continues to play around the Boston area both at club appearances and private events.

Quotes

"The Spurs knock those in the audience dead with an intoxicating mix of authentic western swing and country boogie tunes just this side of Bob Wills and Tennessee Ernie Ford....Quite simply, they kick honky tonk butt!"
