Debut of River Rats Review












The River Rats Review is the result of two bands from the Austin area coming together as one.

It debuted New Year’s Eve in Rising Star at the Four Bar W West Ranch with a rich, full sound puncuated by beautiful harmony.

The six players entertained a group of more than 40 through midnight and a couple of hours into 2009 with music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and later. They mixed their genre through country western, rock and roll and some really good blues. They played Elvis, The Beatles, Carl Perkins, ZZ Top and a bunch of others.

Woody, the party’s host, joined the group on several songs on the drums throughout the night. He sat in on the final song and wowed everyone with a rocking drum solo.

We really loved this group and we’re hoping to hear them play again soon.
