With the release of "Midnight Train", Michael Stanton Armstrong takes a fresh approach to a classic genre and style. Laced with addictive melodies, an unstoppable energy, and plenty of character, the record boasts the aesthetic of blues rock anthems.

​

"I wrote this song a little over a year ago. At the time, I had been struggling with a bit of writer’s block and one night I decided to lock myself away and not come out until I had a solid song idea. I started to free write about getting on a train in the middle of the night with no destination, in search of inspiration. And that jumble of words turned into a song about a journey to write a song. With the destination of the journey being the song itself. It was one of those rare songs that all came together pretty effortlessly once I got started and was finished in a matter of hours." explains Michael of his single.

Reed Smith Herron is a veteran Springfield musician from bands such as Speakeasy, Pearl Nation, and Transylvania.

He is currently the bassist for the national acclaimed touring blues band Sister Lucille. His musical taste is multi-genre as you can see by the bands he has played in.

Reed has graced the Sertoma stage many times, and is making his debut on the KSMU stage.  He is accompanied by the dynamic guitarist Skylar Smith, who has also

played Sertoma events with his original band The Kursk.

Brian and Paul have spent a lot of time on stage together with Kansas City's Yachtly Groove and The Hall and Oates Project as well as Springfields Eagle Tribute The City Girls. They even put together an acoustic set of Prince for the Purple Grain Prince tribute. For Chili Cook-off they've put together a little bit from all the above! Guaranteed fun set of music!

If you are a guitar player whose names are both legendary guitar brands, you had better be able to play.  Jackson has been wowing crowds with his playing since he was 13 years old, playing in front of thousands as lead guitarist for the cover band, Fishing for Saturday.  The years of live shows only grew his love of playing music.

Music was a constant in Jackson’s life from a very young age, growing up in Springfield, Missouri. 

Listening to a wide range of music his parents always had on in the house began to influence his style of play, and later his writing.  Influenced by guitar greats such as Dwayne Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Gilmore and Brad Paisley, among others. Jackson grew up listening to, and learning different styles in different genres.  “Music is one of the few things that can bring all of us together, it doesn’t matter what style or genre.  There is good music across the spectrum, you just have to be willing to listen to it”

Starting guitar  at 9 years old, both Jackson, and his younger brother, Preston were soon making family members smile at their quick ability to learn their instruments.  Soon they both found themselves in a youth cover band that was opening for regional and national touring acts.  Getting to see touring musicians up close solidified Jackson’s desire to keep working on the guitar, but that this was what he wanted to do, and those around him could see it. 

But it wasn’t just family and friends, soon calls starting coming in to get Jackson on stage with other acts, in places far from Springfield.

In late 2018, Jackson started writing, and as life experiences and confidence grew, so did the quality of his writing.  Songwriters such as Eric Church, Zac Brown, Roger Waters and Neil Peart provided Jackson a broad base to craft his lyrics. Working with Producer Kevin W. Gates at Reach Audio, Jackson has been able to bring his songs to life, showcasing lyrics far beyond his years, and blistering guitar work. With the help of Preston writing drums, setting up behind the kit, and lending his talent on guitar, Jackson has labored to create an album of songs that are both personal, and able to reach anyone that listens to them.  Pulling on the belief that there is good music across all genres, these songs draw from all of Jackson’s  influences from pop rock to gritty blues riffs and soaring guitar harmonies, combined with storytelling lyrics to leave people wanting to hear more.

We’ve all been friends for a long time, and treat each other like family. Our chemistry and brotherhood shows through on stage during our live performances.

Our Sound

We're often asked what genre of music we play, but it's hard to put us in a box. We draw inspiration from a wide range of genres, from traditional country to rock to red dirt. Our sound is dynamic and always evolving. We give a high energy, professional  performance from the time the first note is struck, until the lights go off and it’s time to pack up the gear. 

Come See Us!

We love playing live shows and connecting with our fans. We’ve played in tiny dive bars with small crowds and headlined events in front of thousands of people. In both situations, we give 110% to whoever is there to watch!

We‘ve had the pleasure of playing music with some of the top names in the Red Dirt Scene: Cody Canada, Reckless Kelly, Jason Boland, Whitey Morgan, Shane Smith and the Saints, Mickey and the Motorcars, Bart Crow, Jackson Taylor, Zane Williams, Jason Eady, Courtney Patton, Sunny Sweeney, Shooter Jennings, Ray Scott, Sundance Head… Just to name a few!
