The Lowdown Drifters are a country music group known for blending heartfelt storytelling with the down-to-earth sensibilities of classic American music. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, the band has carved out a niche in the country music scene with their soulful ballads and foot-stomping anthems that capture the struggle, joy, and wanderlust of everyday life. The Drifters are comprised of frontman Big John Cannon, lead guitarist Richard Williams, rhythm guitarist Ryan Klein, bassist Tim Fernley, and drummer Galen Bailey. Together, they are known for their tight musicianship and a rugged, authentic sound that resonates with fans of classic and modern country alike.

Their music often reflects themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of dreams against all odds, with recent releases such as "Hanging Tree" and "Fire in Her Eyes" showcasing their knack for vivid storytelling and emotional depth. The multi-chapter saga "Cheating On A Memory" unfolds a tale of heartbreak across three poignant tracks, demonstrating the band's commitment to narrative songwriting. The Lowdown Drifters’ dedication to their craft and their fans is further evidenced in their rigorous touring schedule, braving the long roads to bring their music to stages large and small. Their album "Last Call for Dreamers" and singles like "If I Had a Dollar" and "Red Rock" continue to build their reputation as earnest chroniclers of the human condition, with a strong following that eagerly anticipates every new release, such as their holiday rendition of "We Three Kings."
