Chooch and the SideHIll Gougers

Chooch and the SideHill Gougers were created and formed in a unique area situated in the Ozark Mountains where many wonderful styles of play mix to create a very original music scene. Formed about 2 years ago, the SideHill Gougers have continued to evolve and improve becoming one of the new and upcoming bands in Arkansas. The music is a well conceived blend of bluegrass and rock instruments played with an influence of folk to really capture the essence of what Americana music means to fans around the world. Fans have come to love Chooch, the voice of the band, for his one of a kind songs written on the Martin acoustic guitar that he bought last minute on the way to one of the greatest shows the Gougers have played. That guitar has become his stage companion ever since and fans jump at the chance to see him whip around stage and electrify the room. This band has set itself to becoming a festival staple after a mudstomping performance at Riverstomp in Watts Oklahoma with the encouragement of the ever growing fan base. But make no mistake that they are ease in any setting , on a stage or in the mud. Once Chooch and the SideHill Gougers play for a crowd, they are always invited back over and over again. Now it's time to hit the road. Chooch is ready. Fans are ready. Are you?
