The PBR Band

About Me

In September of 2005 in Winfield, KS, a group of Lawrence and Kansas City friends got together for some picking and drinking. After much picking and nearly as much drinking, they decided to start a band. 5 minutes later, they shot to fame and fortune as they played their alternative approach to country music to the masses at the Walnut Valley Festival. Unfortunately, 7 minutes later disaster struck as they realized that they couldn’t agree on what to name this all-star band, and proceeded to break up the band. Groupies mourned, roadies cried, and even the cops got a little choked up. But, that was only the beginning, for upon completion of the very next beer they had resolved all of their differences and were ready for their comeback tour. This is that comeback tour.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 13/11/2005
Band Website: www.pbrband.com
Band Members: Rob Shoffner -- Resident of Larrytown, KS. He likes the outdoors, pets, and children. Shava beats the crap out of the following: guitar, banjo, kazoo, pets, children

Jon Twibell -- Jonboy resides wherever his lady lives. He owns a house somewhere else. He's a smooth instant messenger and can really make the ladies LOL. He plays the doghouse bass, in fact, it's the only thing keeping him upright most summer nights. DO NOT LET THIS MAN DRINK WHISKEY.

Rob Ritter -- Ritter is extremely passionate about music. That is why he wears the "Every Band Needs An Asshole" crown. It helps him to feel more controlled when he's playing the harp, or god help us all, the banjo. Rumor has it he plays the guitar, but it's rarely seen live.

Al Underwood -- He goes by the name of Applesauce, or The Sauce if you're into the whole Lebowski thing. He's loud as hell, older than dirt, and about as good of a dobro player that you're gonna find. Don't hold us to that. The Sauce frequently attends Anger Management classes for choking out his boss. It pisses him off, but gives him writing material.

Dennis Wilson -- Denny Bob hails from the legendary musical grounds of Byrd's Hill, Missouri. THE Byrd's Hill. Don't act like you've never heard of it. It's very famous in certain circles. He plays the mandolin pretty damn good, and he sings all of the time, sings audibly some of the time.

All 5 members take turns writing and singing songs. Even the bass player. We're a little disgusted by the level of our democracy, but we'll be around 10 times as long as the more talented band down the road.
Influences: We've been under several different influences over the years. We keep coming back to embalming fluid, though. That's like the gravy on our cake.
Sounds Like: We sound like we did last week, only better and in-tune.
Type of Label: Major

Our debut, if you will

     These are nervous times.  Times of tension.  Times of doubt and disbelief.  Ahh, but do not give up all hope.  Nay.  There is yet hope to be hoped.  A...
