About
Stewards of Classic Country
ZB Savoy, Mike Butler, Patrick McClory and Matt Lynott are the Red Headed Strangers playing the music of... Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, The Highwaymen, Hank Williams, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, Jimmy Rogers, David Allen Coe, George Straight, and many more...
RHS is not a traditional "tribute band", but pays homage to Willie Nelson and the Outlaw Country genre he helped create, pulling from the same all American country songbook that Willie and friends have been pulling from for decades. As so many great performers have done before, these timeless songs (from as far back as the early 1900s) are the perfect canvas to deliver performances filled with world class musicianship and a sincerity, energy and authenticity that is uniquely the Red Headed Strangers.
The RHS live show is a bright spot for any lover of great musicians and Old School Country Music.
