About Davy Jay Sparrow & His Well-Known Famous Drovers
Hearing Davy Jay Sparrow & His Well-Known Famous Drovers for the first time is like finding some forgotten jukebox that's been collecting dust since 1949, plugging it in, and being transported back in time. Upon a second listen, it becomes clear that instead of taking the listener back to the days of Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb, Davy and his Drovers actually bring the sounds and spirit of country music's legends into the present. If you've ever wondered what sort of songs Hank Williams would write if he were alive today, simply listen to the songs of Davy Jay Sparrow. With a sound and a style that is able to conjure up the ghosts of country music past and convince them to yodel for the modern world, the band plays what Davy simply calls Olde Fashioned Honky Tonk. Davy Jay Sparrow and His Well-Known Famous Drovers make music fit for any good time to be had. From dive bars, rock clubs, and festivals throughout the Midwest to upscale listening rooms and banquet halls, they've got both the grit and the class to put on a show that will entertain, inform, and jumpstart a hillbilly boogie in the heart of anyone with a soul. The Bloomington, IN / Louisville, KY based group has been performing their mix of yesterday and today for long enough to know how well loved it is by those who hear it. Davy's take on it all is simple yet undeniably true: "Once we start playin' that ole boogie woogie, people commence to shimmy shakin' purty quick. As long as that keeps happenin' we'll keep doin' what were doin'." However they do it, Davy Jay Sparrow & His Well-Known Famous Drovers sure do it right.
