Cottonwood AZ (May 28, 2019) – Join us for a wonderful Spring concert with Don Whitcher and Peter James of The Slant 6 Cowboys, celebrating Americana Roots Music on Saturday, June 1st, 8:00 PM in Studio B at the Old Town Center for the Arts.
The Slant 6 Cowboys music takes you on an exciting train-ride to places you can only dream of. Voices like cool clear water; guitar playing that smokes and drives a coal burning rhythm and songwriting that could make an outlaw cry. The Slant 6 Cowboys are adept at many facets of Americana music, whether he is evoking the haunting echoes of a Mississippi night on slide or the biting edge of a Texas thunder storm on steel guitar. They paint music like the plaintive cries of old ghosts sweeping down from North Dakota into a Southwestern monsoon.
At 16 years old Don packed up an old guitar and drifted across the country, working more odd jobs than he can count, and writing stories he put to song. From god fearing men to sinners and back again; with skills honed to a sharp edge, and songs that will blow the top off a side show stage. This is some great music and definitely well worth seeing.
Don Whitcher is a singer Songwriter who cultivates unique rhythm textures with the deep lyrics of a well traveled drifter. This is true American Music. Especially with Peter James on Lead and rhythm guitar to light the way, like a spaghetti Western sountrtrack.
Don Whitcher & Peter James were signed to 95 North Records, and in 2004 charted in the top ten of the Americana and Roots country charts with their Band the “Slant 6 Cowboys”. Don has been compared to Dave Alvin Steve Earle, and Johnny Cash all rolled into one,
