About This Show

The Western Flyers
Dubbed “The Biggest Little Band in the Land,” powerhouse Western swing trio ‘The Western Flyers’ serve up an irresistibly hot, unmistakably Texas-style sound popularized by Bob Wills in the 1940s with an electrifying energy all their own. Featuring a fresh, all-star lineup led by Western swing master Joey McKenzie on rhythm guitar & vocal, Granbury’s very own national champion fiddler Ridge Roberts on fiddle & vocal and electrifyin’ upright bassist Matthew Mefford.
Delivering a mix of Western swing, classic country, 1940’s swing & jazz classics, fiery Texas fiddle tunes, the Ameripolitan Western swing group of the Year is guaranteed to have even the shyest of wallflowers tappin’ their toes or swinging on the dance floor.
