About The Band:
Wastin' Bullets is not another 'pop country' cover band. They've been playing real Texas honky-tonk and outlaw country favorites throughout the tri-state area since 2010. Tired of what passes for “country music” these days, Ken Desjardins of Meriden CT set out to put this band together wanting to bring what can be found in today's Austin Texas music scene to CT. Covering artists like Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan, Jamey Johnson, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Dale Watson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and more. The band has had some very talented musicians over the years and their current line-up of musicians is no exception. If you wanna hear some country you've come to the right place!
