The Roots of Rock'n'Roll, Honky Tonk Country and Rockabilly are expressed in the truest form of authenticity by The Wild Ones. Formed by singer, guitarist Rick Lindy (Big Guitars From Memphis), the Wild Ones will take you on a roller coaster ride back to the days when Rock'n'Roll was young, but at the same time introduce you to new original songs.

Lindy croons the tunes, strums his accoustic strings alongside Roy Kainz's Gretsch-smokin' guitar licks. Mike Hosman, another ex Big Guitar from Memphis-member, keeps his rhythm, beatin the sticks & steadily tearin' up his drumkit, while Malcolm Didier slaps the doghouse bass and sings harmonies.
