The Longshore Drifters are the old-school country band to keep your eye on..
​
Taking cues from iconic duos like Conway & Loretta, Gram & Emmylou, and Dolly & Porter, harmony rich duets and songcraft are at the heart of their retro-modern honky-tonk sound. Songwriting duo Michelle Miller and Mark J. Lee are joined by pedal steel player John Hornig, Andy Francis on electric & upright bass, and drummer Andy Maby. The quintet have fast gained a reputation for passionately reinvigorating classic country sounds both on stage and in the studio. From telecaster twang driven roof raisers to smoky 3am heartbreak ballads The Longshore Drifters serve it all up with equal parts rhinestone swagger and ‘down home’ charm & humility, making them favourites among hardcore country aficionados and the honky tonk curious alike.​​
