The Gougers - Southern Music Showcase

By The Georgia Jukebox • January 10, 2008

Americana is about blending several styles of music into something uniquely American. The Gougers, a Austin Texas based quartet has the genre figured out.

One listen from "A Long Day For The Weathervane" will convince you. From the interestingly up-beat backdrop on "Everybody Knows" to the heart-felt, and definitely country "Sleeping Pills", this band transitions seamlessly, back and forth, and keeps you waiting for the way they'll intertwine their sound into the next track.

The Gougers - New Sound - New Name...Well Kinda

Formerly The Sidehill Gougers, the band dropped the Sidehill, and they added a drummer, went electric. Now, the astute lyrics of Jamie Wilson and Shane Walker have a real home, and the combination of the two's vocals are powerful. The new sound matches perfectly.

What's Next For The Gougers

The band will be in Colorado for most of January, then will stop in New Mexico on their way back home to Texas for most of February. Click Here to get Venues and dates.
