“It's really exciting to hear a band like The Womps bring a refreshing sound to the masses.” - From The Depths Entertainment
The Womps are a rising alt-rock Jam band, dazzling audiences with fiery performances that draw from funk, prog, fusion, punk and folk. Formed out of love for all things weird and impossible, The Womps strive to make each show unique through collective improvisation, soaring harmonies and engaging songwriting.
The band is:
Kailey Zercher – Violin//Vocals
J.P. Goldman – Bass//Vocals
Jason Lilly – Guitar//Vocals
OG Altmayer – Drums
Since starting the band they’ve played over 100 shows in 38 cities, at home and abroad! The Womps’ new album, Zlatan!, is out now and available on all conceivable streaming platforms.
While singing his own hilariously politically incorrect songs, Unknown Hinson plays
guitar in a style incendiary enough to have Satan himself reaching for the
antiperspirant. But don't dismiss him as a novelty act. He's one hell of a talent andhas the music to prove it!
Looking somewhat like Dracula's nasty little brother who spent some hard years
drinking and working as a carnival barker for a second-rate freak show, Unknown
Hinson translates that vibe to his style of country and western-tinged psychobilly.
The band is now touring nationwide, wowing audiences with outrageous and
campy, white-trash persona and freewheeling, sleazy tone.
Hinson’s most recent CD release, "Live and Undead", melds weepy twang, searing guitar riffs and lyrics that speak of love-gone- bad. Recorded at a sold-out show, an enthusiastic honky tonk crowd sings along with the King on every song. Raucous,theatrical and over-the- top, Unknown Hinson isn’t just for the trailer park set
anymore!
Unknown is gaining international notoriety in the 14-34 demographic as the voice of
lead character "Early Cuyler" in the popular show from Cartoon Network -
"Squidbillies". The first four seasons were so well-received that an immediate green light was given to future seasons. Check website for dates and time slots.
