Back at the Ranch

You might have caught them already at one of their Ranch Road Shows. They are not your typical musical act. From their outfits you can tell that it's going to be western, but what you can't anticipate is what comes next. From the time their shiny roach stompers touch the stage to their last song, BATR keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. They perform Western Swing tunes with the same passion and energy that made Bob Wills the King. The group consists of Clover Carroll on guitar, Rachel Carroll on upright bass as well as other musicians that round out the band. The effortless ease with which the group performs their classic selections will, as Red Steagall says, "they'll knock your hat in the creek" The joy the group exudes is contagious and their professional musicianship and smooth harmonies set the stage for a first-class performance. Rachel Carroll relates the reason they perform, "We believe art should uplift the heart of man, and that's what we strive to do for our audiences from stage. We want them to leave our show feeling uplifted."
