Remington's Ride (Western Swing)
Wisconsin’s hardest swingin’, fastest pickin’ western swing and honky tonk review!
“Remington’s Ride is the real deal . . . they come out, play a show, and leave it all on the stage. They play songs that other bands have completely forgotten about. They take you back through the origins of high-energy western swing, honky tonk, and Americana with tight vocals and musical arrangements that most other groups wouldn’t cover. Their sound is as authentic as it gets, and their fans are passionate. Their professionalism makes them an ideal band to work with.”
-Keith Heisler, Program Director, Sunny 97.7 and Music Committee Chairman for Walleye Weekend
“WHERE I GREW UP, BOB WILLS AND HIS WESTERN SWING WAS VERY POPULAR. AND WESTERN SWING IS NOT THAT FAR FROM JAZZ AND BLUES”—WILLIE NELSON
WESTERN SWING, HARD DRIVING HONKY TONK, ROOTS COUNTRY, AND AMERICANA, BORN OF LEGENDARY TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA DANCE HALLS, BAKERSFIELD HONKY TONKS, AND THE SMOKY GIN JOINTS IN COW TOWNS THROUGHOUT THE WEST.
Take the musical diversity of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, stir in the energy of Asleep at the Wheel, the spontaneity of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, and add a strong dose of raw, Dale Watson honesty and a shot of good old fashioned Merle Haggard storytelling and you have Remington’s Ride. The Ride preserves the foundations of real country music. It brings it to a whole new generation of fans with big band-style instrumental arrangements to their western swing, tight 3- and 4- part vocal harmonies, and solo breaks that take you back to some of the best musicians from the 1930s through the 1990s. A Remington’s Ride show is high energy and packed with nonstop, hand-selected songs designed to wear out a good pair of cowboy boots on the dance floor, get you singin’ along with the band, rollin’ yer eyes to some of the worst jokes you’ll ever hear, and leave you hollering’ for more at the end of the show. The Ride loves what they do and they love gettin’ western with the audience at each and every show.
