Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Old 97’s is an alternative country band that’s pioneered the alternative country movement since it’s inception along with bands such as Uncle Tupelo, Drive-By Truckers, Whiskeytown, The Jayhawks, and The Bottle Rockets. Rhett Miller, the band’s lead vocalist and primary songwriter, has described the Old 97’s sound as “loud folk”. Other members of the band include lead guitarist Ken Bethea, bass player Murry Hammond, and drummer Philip Peeples. They’ve released eleven studio albums. Their tenth album, “Most Messed Up” reached the No.30 spot on the Billboard 200. Several of the band’s songs have been featured in films and television shows such as “The Break-Up”, “Clay Pigeons”, “Slither”, “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide”, “Ed”, “Scrubs”, “Veronica Mars”, and “Scorpion”. Old 97’s is one of the few bands that have stood the test of time having spent twenty-five years together.
