    Artist description
    Jetton & Wheeler is a 5 piece, duo-fronted, honky tonk band. We mean real honky tonk, not some corporate marketing creation. In fact, we wrote all the songs on bar napkins at various drinking establishments - and it probably sounds like it, and it should. For the record, John was the first civilian to complete the 69 draft beer card at the Broadway Brewhouse, Nashville (it took him just over 4 days). Put it this way, we don't just sing about drinking . . .

    We don't sound like anybody currently popular (on mainstream country radio anyway).
    Artist History
    We got together to drink & cuss the music biz. We had a famous time, so we kept doing it. Before we knew it, we were writing songs about how good it was (drinking . . . not the biz). So we took a couple of days and made the album. Lots of other people seemed to agree with our sentiments, so we started playing gigs. Want us to come get drunk and raise hell in your town? Email us and say where. Robert prefers beer, while John is more excited about single malt Scotch (though beer works fine as well).

    "'We've Had a Few' pissed me off and turned me on at the same time." - Rebecca Brown, SESAC"You've gotta love their beer-swilling, honky-tonk sound." - Robert Oermann, Music Row Magazine"Jetton & Wheeler stumble with a rambunctious smirk through booze-drenched, testosterone-pumped country-rock tunes about the joys of drinking, cheating, and 2 a.m. pickup lines." - Michael McCall, Nashville Scene"Country-rock with healthy irreverence." - Jay Orr, Nashville Tennessean"Oh Lord! Where did I fail? I swear I tried to raise you right . . ." - Barbra Brown, John's mother
