The Broke Okies

About Me

Some folks would say that The Broke Okies are the bastard sons of alligators & cottonmouths, straight outta the depths of the murky bayous. When listening to their bare bones approach to what they call acoustic dread, one can't help but feel the despair & loss & heartache that seems to fill every inch of their songs. The strength of their songs are the words, and alot of folks say that if you close your eyes and listen real close...The Broke Okies will take you down an old dirt road that leads to nowhere, with no chance of ever coming back. The Broke Okies are coming...BEWARE!!!!
