Battle River is a powerful alt-country band that brings to mind Drive By Truckers, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Waylon Jennings and Doug Sahm. Members have served in western Canadian heavyweight bands like Zuckerbaby, Plaid Tongued Devils, The Daggers, The Von Zippers and The Hi-Strung Donwers. Powerful original songs, backed by acoustic rhythm, lap steel, aggressive Les Paul and a solid bass and drums combo.
