The Cordwood Draggers started back in July 2002 and in those days were a three piece , no drums , just Double Bass , Lead Guitar & R/ Guitar /vocals , This line up , Mick Cocksedge , Eddie Potter & Jose Espinosa recorded 2 albums and played all over the world including VLV6 , Hemsby , Screamin' festivals + many other European/ USA cities .
By 2005 Mick & Eddie said goodbye to Jose and said hello to Nick Hoadley ( Bass) & Tony Hillerbrandt ( Drums). As a Four piece the band have really taken off , playing VLV9 , Summer Jamboree ( Italy ) , another tour of the west coast USA , Sweden , Germany , Austria & France .
************************************************************************
This line up in early 2007 recorded the criticlly acclaimed third CD (A Starlit Shindig With ) and again the band had written the majority of songs themselves , proving once again that this band just gets better & better .
2007 found the boys Headin' back to the USA to play a tour on the East coast which inc shows in New York , New Jersey & Chicago with final shows at the Rockin' 50's Festival at Green Bay , and then on return even more shows in Germany & Europe & the UK.
Late in 2007 they parted company with Nick and for the remaining shows that year had the pleasure of using the Bass playing skills of Neil Scott & Stuart Panamann ( thanks guys ) They have just released their latest CD ' A Good Ol' Country Jamboree ' on Rhythm Bomb , this release has the boys joined by Phil Morgan (pedal Steel) , Dave Priseman (Trumpet) , Jim Morrison ( Fiddle) & Slim ( Accordian & Piano) .
************************************************************************
So the Cordwood Draggers go from strength to strength , you wont find to much 12 bar here , you wont hear the same old cover versions played over & over again , some people don't like them , they don't care , they only care about the people who come out to see them & buy there CD'S , not the people that follow bands because they think they have too .
ONLY THE CORDWOOD DRAGGERS ARE 100% HILLBILLY !!!!!!!!!!!!.
