Drive-By Truckers playin' at Tips tonight!...




Drive-By Truckers  are an alternative country/Southern rock band based in Athens, Georgia, though two out of five current members (Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley) are originally from The Shoals region of Northern Alabama, and the band strongly identifies with Alabama. Their music uses three guitars as well as bass, drums, and now keyboards. Like many alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch, 16-track open reel tape recorders). However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries, the Drive-By Truckers have consistently pushed their labels to also release the band's records in a vinyl format.

You can catch these guys in these area venues:
  • March 7th - Toad's Place, New Haven, CT
  • March 8th - Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, RI 
  • March 14th - Calvin Theater, Northampton, MA
  • March 15th - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY
