This is some rockin Americana from the hills of Kentucky. The current arrangement of Keith Clifton on banjo, Wes Petzinger on guitar, Dave Hawkins on mandolin, and John Atha on upright bass, has composed the band for the past two productive years. During this time… back in 2010, these fine young Kentucky artists released their self-titled debut album. It has been their shared appreciation for roots music, delta blues, and old time country and rock that enlivens their original sound and has allowed them to breathe new life into a classic Kentucky bluegrass arrangement. Along the way… since the release of their first album, the DCB has acquired percussionist Jason Halker on drums, and last March 2012 recorded their highly anticipated second studio album “that a way,” released on August 30th, 2012. The band’s growth is apparent... Having added 10 excellent new original songs to their growing catalogue, as well as all the possibilities that have opened up with the addition of percussion… It’s an exciting time for The Downtown County Band!
