Bio
The Hillbillys From Space have been entertaining Midwest audiences for over 10 years. All of the members are seasoned veterans who have cut their teeth recording and playing live with a number of successfull Chicago bands. While the main focus of the band is their outstanding oringinal material, they also love to rip it up with a variety of some obscure and familiar cover tunes done in their own inimitable style.
Their influences come from all over the map. They love everything from Little Feat to Johnny Cash to Delta Blues to The Beat Farmers and everything in between.
The thing that sets the Hillbillys apart is their ability to blend so many styles and make it work. The focus is on the music. Whatever it takes to get the music across.
