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. Theyโ€™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.


โšก The Sound

Hillbilly Vegas mix together:

  • ๐ŸŽธ Southern-fried riffs โ€“ crunchy guitars straight out of the Skynyrd / Black Stone Cherry school.
  • ๐Ÿฅ Big grooves โ€“ rhythmic enough for a barroom boogie, heavy enough for a biker rally.
  • ๐ŸŽค Gritty vocals โ€“ whiskey-soaked, full of heart and attitude.
  • ๐ŸŽถ Anthems built for crowds โ€“ whether itโ€™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.


๐Ÿช“ The Band โ€“ Line-Up

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

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