Founded in early spring of 2009, Dry County brings the familiar sounds of country music together with the edge of southern rock. Influenced by artist varying from George Strait to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dry County is a diverse group of musicians who can throw one heck of a party!

It was in the early spring of 2009 that two co-workers began talking about playing music. Mike, a guitar playin’ cowboy and Cameron, a biker who played drums. The two decided they needed to get together, ice down some beer, invite a few friends who also played music, invite a few more friends just to listen and have a good time, and jam some music and that’s exactly what they did. They jammed everything from George Strait to Guns-N-Roses, to Clint Black and Charlie Daniels, little did they know, they had just formed what would soon become known as the band named Dry County .  A few weeks later Mike’s phone rang, a friend who heard about his “band” from somebody who was at the jam party, wanted to know if his “band” would like to play after a rodeo. Un-named, they opened with Clint Black’s “Killin’ Time” and 2 hours later closed with The Marshal Tucker Band’s “Can’t Ya See”.  Ever since then the phone has kept ringing, they have played private parties, wedding receptions, opened for headline acts and headlined venues themselves at festivals,  rodeo’s and chuck wagon races, and have been on the club scene staying booked up in and around Central Arkansas evolving into one of the most popular bands in the area.
