Charlie Shafter Band

"A lot of people call us Texas country, but there's nothing country about it," Dreistadt said. "All four people have influences in different fields. You just combine it all together, and you have a unique sound that's all your own." The Charlie Shafter Band released its debut CD, "Orange," in May on Long Forgotten Records. Their music recently reached No. 19 on the X Country channel chart of XM satellite radio." - Holly Henschen H&R Staff Writer Aug 18, 2005
