Ball & Chain and the Wreckers
Ball and Chain and the Wreckers is a 5 piece band that has been playing vintage country tunes (Hank, George, Ray Price, ..) at clubs and festivals locally and across the continent for over 15 years. Their claim: “We can keep you dancing till closing time and when you’re done, we’ll wrap you up in Vintage Country Comfort and then set you up with a soundtrack for when you’re counting sheep.”
The players – the local crème de la crème of country music: Michael Ball (fiddle, vocals, mandolin), Jody Benjamin aka Chain, (guitar, vocals) and The Wreckers - Fred Guignon (lead guitar, lap steel), Derek Jeffrey (bass), Robert Bangs (drums, vocals).
