In a small studio in Plant City FL, a group of seasoned musicians started jamming on weekends just for fun. During this time, members were writing and recording original music while at the same time just enjoying playing cover tunes. It seemed that each member brought a very eclectic approach to the music. While playing a Merle Haggard or Alan Jackson tune one moment, then playing Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Georgia Satellites, then switching to Orange Blossom Special on the fiddle…go figure!
When word got out of the “little band in Plant City” that was making some noise, the group began to be invited to perform at private events. Members of the group made a surprise appearance at the 2022 Hillsborough County Fair. The group was well received and have been invited back for the 2023 event.
With the addition of a couple of very talented musicians joining in on the fun, this weekly jam session quickly turned more serious! So it was decided to formally create a “band”! The name of this band is The Smokin Rodeo Band!
It was also decided to offer this unique blend of music more publicly to select venues, so…..Here We Come!
As the name implies, the band’s sound is deeply rooted in traditional country music, however, the group is very versatile and quite capable of performing music from other genres such as Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Bluegrass, Blues, Hillbilly Rock and so on!
Stay Tuned!! More to Come!!
