And today, they’re releasing their debut album On the Rocks, a 13-song collection that polishes the grit and sweat of the dive bar stage with a pop-country sheen. Last month they celebrated their first number one country single (which also happens to be their first single, period) with “Drinkin’ Problem.” Just this week, they performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon alongside Little Big Town and Kacey Musgraves, whom they’ll accompany on an extensive tour in 2018.

Finding a good dive bar band is a little like finding a good dive bar: There are plenty of imitators out there, but you know the real deal when you find it. ![]()
