FortyTwenty
Style / Genre: Alt-Country / Cowbilly / Honky-Tonk

About the Artist:
With slogans like, "Purveyors of Fine Music," and "So Country, It'll Make You Puke," FortyTwenty is a little bit old-school country and a touch of punk, blended together with a whole lot of energy and onstage antics that have helped the cowbilly quintet put its alternative honky-tonk stamp on juke joints, saloons, rock venues and dancehalls throughout the midwest and south.

"We're basically old-school country, but a lot louder and sometimes uncomfortably faster," fiddle player David Wilson says.

Along with Wilson (fiddle, rhythm guitar and vocals), FortyTwenty consists of Lern Tilton (dog-house bass and vocals), Jon Bradley (guitars and vocals) and J.J. King (drums and vocals).

Since its inception in 2002, FortyTwenty has performed live on radio stations and shared the stage with numerous national acts - including BR549, Hank Williams III, the Derailers, Chris LeDoux, The Reverend Horton Heat, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Split Lip Rayfield, Those Legendary Shack Shakers, the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Robbie Fulks, Wayne Hancock and Jason Boland and the Stragglers, among others. FortyTwenty has also been a feature performer at various festivals, including the Wakarusa Festival, the Comstock Windmill Festival and the Breckenridge Beer Festival.
