About

Since forming in 1988 in Southern California, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Roots acts, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country, Doo-Wop, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. As his personal record collection continues to grow (75,000 and counting), so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex-Mex hero Freddy Fender, released at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown, points the way forward for Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys. After nearly 35 years on the road and more than two dozen releases to their credit, they remain key figures on the ever-changing Americana circuit, both on record and in live appearances.

Lean Canteen is a band from the Salt Lake Valley in Utah, one of the hottest new bands to come out of the WILD WEST.

They have played some of the top festivals for roots music around the globe and can be heard on Rockin' 247 radio, Go Cat Go radio, and KRCL 90.9fm, as well as being seen on the Bopflix channel. Lean Canteen have released 2 CD albums and a 45 single, and can be heard on popular streaming channels. Don’t be mistaken: although the band is all about having fun and enjoying the music they play, this is a professional band with a professional sound. With around 100 years of combined touring experience, this is a band not to be missed.
