From their web site
The Outlaw Junkies are in their seventh year together as a band and for good reason, they just keep getting better and better. Previously Steel Horse, this group has performed at fairs, festivals and concert venues and have opened for many national acts including RCA recording artist ALABAMA.
They were the 2002 regional finalist in the Colgate Country Showdown and were the back up band for the competition previous years.
In 2002 they recorded in Nashville with producer and band leader of BNA recording artist Lonestar, Dean Sams, at Sony/Tree studio. The project made it to several major labels and was put on hold by
Warner Brothers.
In 2005 the band auditioned Tate Stevens for the lead vocalist spot. Tate's true country music voice was exactly what the group was looking for. They also added Bill Larson (original member of the band Missouri) on Drums. The original members include Steve Koken (B3, keys and acoustic), Troy Wahl (lead guitar and mandolin), Richard Ralph (bass guitar), and Daron Tapscott (fiddle, acoustic, mandolin and harp).
In 2005 alone the band appeared with 20 national acts including Phil Vassar, Billy Currington and Gary Allan and in 2006 they worked with many great acts including Chris Cagle, Josh Turner and Tracy Lawrence.
In the spring of 2006 they record their first original song "Fools Like Us" which recently won the group "Best new band/duo" on New Country Star.com. They are currently in the studio working on their first album scheduled to come out in the spring of 2007. The first release "Redneck Rich and Hillbilly Happy" is co written by Drew Davis form the Drew Davis Band.
The Outlaw Junkies are exciting to see live as their passion for music is evident. They are one high energy band that could care less about anything other than giving their fans a great show each and every time.
Don’t miss this group!
