Country Shred

About Me


The Wiggle Wagons are a new band that brings country music into a new era. Featuring the songs of Daniel Grigg and the shredding lead guitar of Michael "Bud" Burke, a new sound has emerged that combines the influences of Buck Owens and Gram Parsons with those of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers.After leaving rural North Carolina for new opportunities, singer/songwriter Daniel Grigg arrived in San Jose, California with tales of hardship and loss, only to experience more hard times and big city blues. To keep his life on track, Daniel began to weave his experiences into songs of betrayal, addiction and southern pride.Meanwhile Bud Burke, studio musician, guitar teacher and metal performer, was touring as a bass guitarist. Bud brought his vocal harmonies, lightning fast chops and sensible twang to Daniel to create an exciting new genre, they called Country Shed that has attracted fans of traditional country and metal alike, to coffee shops and clubs where the two began playing.The band's name, The Wiggle Wagons, comes from an old term used by truckers to refer to a tractor pulling multiple trailers. The name seemed fitting for a band that possesses a powerful new sound, takes its audience to a controlled and dangerous edge, loves to be on the road and is determined to reach their goals no matter what the load or cost.You can catch Bud and Daniel around the US with a variety of different musicians sitting in. They perform both as a band and as a two piece, and rock anyway they come.The Wiggle Wagons recently captured their unique sound on their new independent CD entitled "Loaded Up and Truckin'", which is available now via this website and at both Rasputin Records and Streetlight Records Campbell, CA. They will be releasing their 2nd full-length LP "Dubya Dubya II the Big One", in spring 2008.

Metro 11/06

The Wiggle Wagons (Metro Magazine 11/8-14 2006) OK, so the Wiggle Wagons aren't headlining this show (that would be Captured by Robots), which makes me put their turn on the red-lit Blank Club stage ...
