William Surly and the Barroom Gospel Band
William Surly and the Barroom Gospel Band
Honky Tonk
William Surly is a singer/songwriter who saddles his horse (metaphorically speaking) in Portland, Oregon, and is no stranger to the western cocktail. Within his music he mixes classic country with outlaw, honky tonk, a dash of folk, some rock, soul and a whole lot of tequila.
Inspired by story tellers of the Outlaw and Folk movements of the 60s and 70s and rejuvenated by the modern sounds of Sturgil Simpson, Margo Price, Mike and The Moonpies, Nikki Lane and more Surly pays homage to the ones who came before him, singing songs for those best suited for a long running bar tab.
Best known for his roll in The Lonesome Billies, who have shared the stage with nationally touring acts such as Pokey Lafarge, Hooray For The Riff Raff, Blitzen Trapper and Nikki Lane, William Surly has been in and around the Portland music scene for many years.

Jake and the Hill People
Country
Jake & The Hill People is a modern spin on Classic Country Western music. With the lyrics and harmonies of Jake Nacrelli and Simon Sharipoff accompanied by Simon’s warm lead guitar licks, and the classic Honky Tonk rhythm from Tyson Oliver and Solomon Quijano. This Oregon band is on a mission to bring the classic sound back to the Willamette Valley. They might make you wish you was a Hill People yourself.
