The Fabulous Bender Boys

Where Rhythm & Blues meets Buck Owens!

About Me

The Fabulous Bender Boys are fast becoming a Jamboree In The Hills tradition, as they proudly return to the stage for the 3rd consecutive year! From classic country, to rock ‘n roll that unexpectedly becomes bluegrass, their unique sound includes an eclectic blend of “Benderized Country” and “BenderGrass”. The Fabulous Bender Boys strong musicianship shines on their debut single, “Same Shift, Different Day”, featuring the Benders soaring vocal harmonies and incredible instrumental work on their Crook Custom guitars.
The Fabulous Bender Boys are all West Virginia natives, and include Roger Hoard, “Buck Bender” on lead guitar and vocals, Jim Miller, “Butch Bender” on lead guitar, banjitar, mandolin, fiddle, and vocals, Chad Smith, “Buster Bender” on drums and vocals, and Mike Mazure, “Buzz Bender” on bass guitar. With roots ranging from Jamboree USA to rock ‘n roll, The Benders have worked together in different combinations before uniting as “The Fabulous Bender Boys”, and at that point the Bender Magic became apparent. What started as an outlet for some friends to make music together has become one of the newest and most original acts rising in country music today.
