Imagine, if you will, a time in the not-so-distant past, like 2000 or 2001 (no one really remembers). The setting? Brown County, Indiana, just before sunset. The characters? A lively cast of morel mushroom-picking, banjo-playing, corn liquor-drinking good ol' boys who came together with a singular thought in mind - let's make music! And so, with little fanfare but a lot of heart, the White Lightning Boys were born into existence.
Determined to write songs about mountains, girls and mountain girls, this dedicated band of musicians quickly developed a unique sound - bluegrass and folksy with fast-paced bursts of fiddlin' energy. Their music has managed to " retain a smooth, rich sound that can lull you into a reverie then shake you up with their frenetic jamming," an apt description. Each song is finely crafted to showcase each musician's special talents - guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro, bass and mandolin - and oozes a lovely sense of camaraderie that you just don't find in music these days. It's easy to tell heart and soul has gone into every note, which definitely means the White Lightning Boys are the stuff of legends.
It's only fitting, then, that their sticker has a two-sided meaning: their music is like catching lightning in a bottle, but you can also drink down the Moonshine that Lightning Made. 100% made in the USA, these Brown County natives are creative, spirited and talented - a musical trifecta that goes a long way in this world!
