Wichita Trip

About Me



Wichita Trip is a 5 piece roots-rock combo from Vancouver, BC. They play Texas-style Roadhouse Country & Honky-Tonk Rock'n Roll. Coming from diverse backgrounds and influences, they combine to produce rootsy country rock with punk and surf elements. Currently gigging around the better saloons in Vancouver, they are working on their first album and hope to have it in stores soon.
