The Bottom Dwellers

About Me

From a blistering twang-fest to traditional murder balads and swampy dirt music, the Bottom Dwellers deliver REAL Americana, hillbilly swing, and truck driving classics with the vigor of 10,000 Jerry Reeds.

The Bottom Dwellers hail from the lonely I-5 town of Woodland California. For the past six years, they've been blowing the minds of unsuspecting honky tonkers from San Francisco to Arcata, and from Winters to Quincy.

Their broad range of sound within the Americana realm has landed them on the bill with diverse acts, like Dale Watson, the Derailers, Deke Dickerson, Little Charlie and the Nightcats, and Old School Freight Train. The Bottom Dwellers are regularly played on local independent radio stations, and their song Company Truck has received national air play on NPR’s Car Talk.

If you’re in the mood for drinkin’, dancin’ or just damn good honky tonk, the Bottom Dwellers are in the mood, too.
