The Lowland Drifters play Rock and Roll:

Don’t let that name fool you. There’s a western influence in the music, but it’s about as far from Nashville and Bakersfield as Graceland is from the moon.

This is a western music born from the dust and dirt of the great southwest. Arid, desolate, and dark, It owes its debt to spaghetti westerns as well as Surf music and garage rock. Lyrics tell grim tales from America’s modern day ghost towns; the dying trailer park villages that stretch across the deserts of our country where “boomtowns” have become doomtowns. 

Featuring members from a cross section of the San Diego and Los Angeles music scenes, The Lowland Drifters give a dynamic show, with assertive vocals, melodic guitar playing and a film noir sensibility in the storytelling of its songs, all of which, emanate from “Cowtown”, a dark reimagining of a rural town outside of San Diego.

These are western murder ballads for a modern age.
