Western Swing meets Americana this week at StudioAmped with the Ghostown Phantoms. If you like a little bit of old country, a little bit of rock, a little bit of blues, and little bit of jazz, you’ll love the Ghostown Phantoms. This band captures the sound of the Wild West by portraying originals and covers with a spaghetti-Western Clint Eastwood spin. The band members include: Eugene Swank (Vocals & Guitars), Scott Riggs (Mandolin/Dobro & Harmony Vocals), Jeremy Holcombe (Bass), and Chaz Pare (Percussion). Listen to selections from this talented band at http://www.myspace.com/ghostownphantoms.
