Austin Steamers
Listen to Path of Least Resistance
The Austin Steamers is a star-studded group of Texas gentleman that know their way around the strings and can sing a few harmonies besides. The band formed in December 2011 and has been doing a Friday night residency at Austin's very own White Horse Honky Tonk ever since. Featuring Sean Tracey on guitar and harmonica, Ben Hodges on mandolin, Joe Sundell on banjo, Daniel Zeh on upright bass, and everyone on vocals, the Steamers perform a variety of original and traditional material in the styles of bluegrass, country, and swing, owing quite a debt to the 100 year old tradition of the American string band yet all the while maintaining a contemporary edge and relevant style.
