The Altar Billies

"Ridin' On the Santa Fe"   single

(Self-issued)



So solid a Country-shaded Rockabilly proposition are Orange County's Altar Billies, they were invited to stomp the stage at last month's Roots Music Festival in Westminster. Theirs is a rollicking interpretation of the American Rebel Music that, when first ripe, shook popular culture to its foundation. Impeccable Gretsch picking and sleek harmonizing cruise compellingly to a gingery backbeat. 

"The legendary Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railway is considered by many to be a 'Fallen Flag' railroad that might be gone, but is not forgotten," wrote the limber-legged trio, in a Facebook post. That precious memory now has a theme song.
