Don Whitcher / Slant 6 Cowboys

About Me

I'm the former lead singer, songwriter, rhythm and lead guitarist of the Slant 6 Cowboys. We charted in the top 40's of the Americana Association chart and the roots country chart for 21 weeks. We were signed to 95 North Records, but the label closed down. This is some of my newest music, I'm currently looking for a new label now. Also, check out my best friend Peter Coonradt, he was the lead guitarist of the Slant 6 Cowboys. He's now playing music in Asheville, NC with the Honeycutters. I'll be seeing him soon and hopefully we'll do some more Slant 6 music together...
