Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys at Shank Hall

For over three decades, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have been performing a blend of Americana, rockabilly, and Western swing. The band, formed in Southern California in 1988, draws on influences from country, doo-wop, and rhythm and blues. Their shows feature tight musicianship and a lively atmosphere that keeps audiences engaged.

The band’s extensive catalog includes more than two dozen releases, and they have been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. In 2020, they released a tribute to Tex-Mex legend Freddy Fender, showcasing their versatility. A concert from this group offers a journey through American roots music, from early rock and roll to Western swing.
