Booze Hounds Bluegrass originated in 2017 by lead guitar and vocalist, Eric Lee Reel. The 5-piece bluegrass band you see now has been playing together for a little under a year. Each member comes from various musical backgrounds that blend seamlessly together when they play that sweet bluegrass. You'll hear traditional tunes from them as well as original music like “Ernie’s Homemade Wine”, “Railroad Bound”, “Naked Neighbor”, etc. They love playing together and that is evident as heck when you see them on any stage!
