Bio
The Western Philosophers is original music played by 5 amazing musicians that know how to engage and connect with an audience. A typical set includes a powerful hit with roadhouse rockin', boot scootin' fun to a medium tempo thought provoking story to a soft and sensitive 'cryin' in your beer' ballad. No matter how the set is crafted there is an energy that is felt in every song which always leaves audiences wanting more.
