Who are they?
Hillbilly Vegas are a Southern rock / country rock band from Oklahoma, USA, blending hard rock energy, country swagger, and arena-ready hooks. They’ve been tearing up the American rock scene with their high-octane shows, whiskey-drenched anthems, and a sound that straddles Nashville and Sunset Strip.

⚑ The Sound

Hillbilly Vegas mix together:

  • 🎸 Southern-fried riffs – crunchy guitars straight out of the Skynyrd / Black Stone Cherry school.
  • πŸ₯ Big grooves – rhythmic enough for a barroom boogie, heavy enough for a biker rally.
  • 🎀 Gritty vocals – whiskey-soaked, full of heart and attitude.
  • 🎢 Anthems built for crowds – whether it’s a country fair, a festival stage, or a biker bar, they know how to write a chorus that hits.

Think ZZ Top meets AC/DC with a dash of Jason Aldean.

πŸͺ“ The Band – Line-Up

  • Steve Harris – Vocals (not that Steve Harris – but still a beast in his own right)
  • Johnny Reed – Guitar
  • John Bannister – Guitar
  • Troy Hollinger – Drums
  • Kyle Cagle – Bass

(Line-up has seen a few shifts over the years, but this is the core crew powering the Hillbilly Vegas engine.)
