The Rattlers

Chicago's legendary Western Swing band, The Rattlers, have a strong, classic Western swing attitude, powered by hard-hittin’ Texas honky-tonk, pleasing most who have come into contact with them over the last thirty years. Members of the band have recorded and worked with Dolly Parton, Steve Earle, Mavis Staples, Buddy Miller, Dickie Betts, Hank III... could go on but they hate name-droppers! T.C. Furlong on steel guitar, John Rice on guitar & fiddle, Barney Shwarz on bass, Billy Shaffer on drums, and Ollie O’Shea on fiddle and shtick.
