The Bootstrap Boys exist in the same world that Waylon Jennings inhabited: unfiltered country rock that has attitude yet keeps your foot tapping.
Hailing from Grand Rapids, the band is made up of lead singer and songwriter Jake Stilson (“Big Jake Bootstrap”), guitarist Nick Alexander (“Nicky Bootstrap”), bassist Jonny Bruha (“Jonny ‘Bubba’ Bootstrap”) and drummer Jeff Knol (“Jeff Bootstrap”).
Listen to any of their original songs and you'll hear the influence of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Bob Wills on the sound, along with technical masters such as Tony Rice, Kenny Vaughan and Clint Strong.
Here a few cuts to whet your appetite:
