new york city style experimental country

About Me

Dirk Michener and Travis Catsull started playing New York City style experimental country music in 2002 on a balcony in Denton, TX. Naming themselves after the Pacific Northwest's most famous poet, Charles Potts, seemed to make perfect sense. After playing tons of campfires, house parties, mexican food restaurants and then a W. Coast tour the Windmill Band brought in new members and instruments. Now, their multi-harmonics are a blissed out spectacle of working man's country that never ceases to intrigue and entertain. Funny, thought provoking and blatantly honest, their audience includes bikers, poets, folk enthusiasts, old people, indie rock fags and screaming drunk girls. The Charles Potts Magic Windmill Band is easily one of the most entertaining bands in Austin, TX.
They are currently working on their 3rd album of new york city style experimental country and is scheduled for release early 2007.href="http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.in dividual&videoid=1166425"Windmill Band at The Horseshoe Lounge
