Turned us into Country Lovers! That Good!

They were the most accommodating, professional, and talented group! Chris and his band were the nicest group of gentlemen...very genuine and humble. When we you hire fantastic music and friendly souls, you can't ask for much more. I highly recommend WailOn. In fact, I'm already planning to have them back next year. We love them ❤

What to Expect

A full staged tribute show, celebrating the Legends of Outlaw and Classic Country Music, with authentic recreations of the original recordings. Authentic recreations of the artist's vocal style and stage presence, the instrumentation of their bands - including lead electric guitar, harmonica, pedal steel, acoustic guitar, bass and drums.

Get ready to experience the soulful music of some of the greatest country musicians of all time with our shows. Our first show, "A Tribute to REAL Country Music," is a celebration of the music of George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and many others. This show is a perfect treat for country music lovers who want to relive the golden era of the genre. It also features the iconic music from the hit Showtime series "George and Tammy." Our band is made up of talented musicians and powerful vocalists, who bring these legendary artists to life on stage.

And for those who are fans of Waylon Jennings and Outlaw music, we can do a different show - "Tribute to Waylon Jennings and Outlaw Music" is a must-watch. With an extensive collection of his greatest hits, this show is a tribute to the legendary outlaw country singer who redefined the genre with his unique style and sound.

Here is a link to a brief live montage performance video of the band: https://youtu.be/2AOlhgXx9rU

We would love the opportunity to bring one, both or a combination of our shows to your event. If you are interested in booking us, please let me know and we can discuss further. You can also check out our band's website at (link hidden) and our Facebook page at (link hidden) for more information about our band. We typically do two one hour sets with 15 min intermission. We prefer that you provide live sound, lights and engineer, on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon/evening - but we also have our own sound/lights and can perform other days as well.
