Bill Stephens is the newest bass player in the band, and if history is any indication, that’s a very brave choice. He’s the 184th bass player since 2012, (give or take a few), but unlike most of his predecessors, Bill has stuck around long enough to learn the songs. With smooth bass lines and an unshakable sense of rhythm, Bill keeps the train on the tracks while the rest of us lean hard into controlled chaos. He’s calm, cool, and clearly hasn’t read the exit clause in his imaginary contract yet.

MEET THE BAND
Bill Aydam, a.k.a. Sugar Face Willie, holds down rhythm guitar and harmonica duties with the smooth swagger of a man who’s been breaking hearts and strings for decades. A lifelong musician and prolific songwriter, Bill’s original tunes are a staple in the band’s set, when he’s not melting faces with a harmonica solo or crooning a love song like “If You’ve Got the Money, Honey” with suspicious sincerity. We’d confidently rank him among the top harmonica players in Austin, but don’t take our word for it. Just fight your way through the cloud of groupies camped out in front of the stage to hear him expertly suck and blow (musically speaking, of course).
Steve McCarthy is arguably the best-dressed piano player in Austin, if you consider custom jackets from Uruguay and hats that look like they time-traveled from the 1800s to be “dressed.” He also owns more tech gadgets than a RadioShack clearance sale, and somehow knows how to use all of them. Steve plays piano, accordion, fiddle, and about nine other instruments we can’t pronounce and aren’t entirely sure are legal in Texas. He’s the walking definition of a multi-instrumentalist and possibly a walking TSA violation. His saloon-style piano playing has earned him his own fan club, some of whom show up just to see what he’s wearing. If you spot someone on stage looking like a Victorian gambler who moonlights as an app developer, that’s probably Steve.

Michael Bahan is the heartbeat of the band, mainly because he hits things for a living. Sometimes with sticks, sometimes with hands, and occasionally with whatever’s within arm’s reach (no tambourines are safe). A master of groove and tasteful restraint (unless someone says “freebird”), Michael keeps the band locked in tight and sounding like we know what we’re doing. He’s also the only person we know who can make a snare drum sound like a breakup and a new truck at the same time. Equal parts thunder and finesse, Michael proves that in country music, timing really is everything.
Cover Songs
Original Songs
Lisa Rainbolt is the lead singer, yodeler-in-chief, and part-time piano plunker, guitar strummer, and rubboard rumbler of the band. Approach her tambourine with caution... attempting to confiscate it may result in a mild-to-moderate personal injury and a strongly worded country song. Her musical influences range from the legends (Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, and Patsy Montana) to the divine (Eilen Jewell), and she’s been known to tear the roof off with covers of Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Hank Williams, and other country greats. Lisa’s also fond of singing harmonies, especially when it means she gets a break from remembering all the words. Born and raised on the east side of St. Louis, Lisa is equal parts sweet tea and switchblade. She writes songs, sings her heart out, and spends an unreasonable amount of time trying to convince PATRÓN to sponsor the band’s next tour (so far, they’re playing hard to get).
