Wastin' Bullets is a favorite among Texas Swing and Two Step dancers, And if dancing ain't your thing just come on and sit down, the whiskeys fine!
Wastin' Bullets is dedicated to keeping it country. Ken Desjardins (lead singer and guitar) has won numerous country vocalist awards from Mass to Tennessee. Fran Massucci (lead guitar and vocals) has been playing in bands since he was in high school and plays a mean tele. Trevor Reilly is a young and talented Pedal Steel player. Rob Turcotte (Rhythm guitar) is a new edition to the band, he's played with Fran as kids. Roland Labrie (bass) has been playing country guitar most of his life and is a huge Dwight Yoakam fan and Mike Vandermaelen (drums) is a very versatile drummer.
