About Me

The High Street Lowlifes cull up the musical scenery of an era when the lines between blues, country, and jazz, weren't nearly as hard and fast as the drinking and dancing.

Ladies and Gentlemen...it's 2007, The Depression's over, and electricity is here to stay. However, theres still something to be said for an outfit of well-dressed no-counts beating on acoustic instruments and singing about life, death, love and liquor.
