Phil Profitt grew up just outside of Detroit, Michigan and started playing music in his early teens. Never spending much time playing cover songs, he always ENDEaVORED to write his own. 

Profitt writes original honky tonk music. Full of heartbreak, whisky, tragedy, and fun, his songs will make you remember what hillbilly music is intended to DO TO your soul. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to get up and dance. Influenced by the greats, his lyrics tell the truth and the music that accompanies is simple and heartfelt. Twangy guitars with a Detroit edge. His songs are what you've been waiting for.

Joined by The Fast Fortunes, the band that brings the real edge to THE music, is the reason this outfit is just downright powerful.  

Jason Oberliesen on the upright bass, the Detroit born native brings a solid rockabilly rhythm that not only holds down the bottom end, but creates a vibe that is undeniably contagious.  

Legendary drummer, Stuart Tucker, from Hamtramck, Michigan. has made his mark playing and recording with some of Detroit's most talented musicians. A soulful human metronome.

    
The pedal steel guitar is manned by Joel Jackson - a native of Bakersfield, CA. Pedal steel is in his blood and he leaves it all on stage.  

On lead guitar, Don "The Ringer" Ruzek, sometimes known as the“

"Sidewinder" is a transplant from Virginia. His versatility and style SNEAKS UP ON YOU FROM BEHIND.
