"Roots Music Report"

5 of 5 stars... "Spindletop Strike" by the Boxcar Preachers features the vocal performance of Bruce Gardner and one hell of a band. These guys work out their instruments on this album. This is Bluegrass with a little country and blues thrown in for a unique sound. This CD will take you on a trip to times past but bring you back to reality on a couple of the cuts. This is wonderful music with a provoking signature that more that tells what this band is all about. - RMR


"SXSW 2006 by Ron Baker"

"These guys are a really fun Austin bluegrass band. Good music and good times. When there's a jug and a washboard involved, how can you not have fun? I'll look forward to seeing them again down the road." - Ron Baker


"Mick Kenney on the Guinness Intl. Bluegrass Festival"

"This is barnstorming humorous lovin music straight off Walton's Mountain full of good times and hard living yarns from a seasoned bunch of good time musicians.

Craig High was fantastic and in top form with super charged washboard, jaw harp and hollerin good old fashioned vocals surrounded by a cacophony of musical expertise gushing forth like an oil strike from Bruce Mitchell and the boys including some amazing steel guitar picking from Ian Campbell...." - MTW

Bio

Six years in the makin' and still havin' fun! We're a group of close friends from Austin, TX who play mostly origional music in an old-timey vein. Our music is a blend of bluegrass, old country blues, hokum jazz, jug band and old timey gospel fueled origionals along with a few of our favorite cover tunes from greats like Peter Rowan, The Louvin Bros. and Johnny Cash.

With varying set lists designed for the family crowd at the restaurant gig or the adult crowd at one of our favorite pubs, we're able to put on shows that the crowds really enjoy. So, whether it's headlining the Guinness Intl. Bluegrass Festival in Ireland, playing The Borderline in London, jamming on BBC Radio or playing our local pubs and restaurants in Austin, the Boxcar Preachers are here to provide a spirited musical experience one pint at a time!
