Our Short Story:

This Tulsa based rootsy rock and roll band draws on many styles of American music of the last 100 years -- Blues, Ragtime, Rockabilly, Folk, Punk and everything in between. Their unique and varied style makes it pretty hard to draw comparisons to other bands. They are extremely energetic, the songs are catchy, and the band is tight. Musicianship is at the forefront of what they do and crowds respond. Their latest album "My Side" was released on Horton Records in late 2015. It received great reviews and It's still getting radio play all over the world. A new record is in the works and they are playing some of the future releases live.

"Why they are not more of a household name in the music biz is beyond me."

"The Electric Rag band reminds one of the nascent era of the deep blues and underground country scenes when the definitions for the music were nebulous, but the music always found an amiable sound. It is a respect for all styles of roots music forms but a devout loyalty to none in particular that go into that acquired underground roots taste."
