The Lowdown Drifters

The Lowdown Drifters have earned their reputation as road dogs, both to their benefit and their detriment, playing one-night stands to their self-proclaimed “tens of fans” across the nation for the better part of a decade. Fort Worth, Texas based by way of California, Washington and Minnesota, the band has created their own brand of “sad bastard songs” that are as likely to invoke dancing as crying, combining heartfelt and heartbreaking lyrics with catchy and upbeat melodies. Led by John Cannon’s poetic rasp, the Drifters live show has built a steadfast and dedicated following at venues and festivals including Gruene Hall, Cains Ballroom, and the Ryman Auditorium. Along with their live show, the bands recordings including the critically acclaimed debut album, Last Call for Dreamers, have garnered them over 275k monthly listeners and over 75 million total streams for their hit song “Fire in Her Eyes” along with crowd favorites including “Alright”, “If I Had A Dollar” and “Back to You” accounting for another 25 million streams. The Drifters hit the road 2026 in support of their new single “Get Up” featuring Wade Forster, Jody Bartula and famed rodeo announcer Bob Tallman, with a full-length project scheduled in mid-summer followed by a nation-wide tour.
