HOW THE WEST WAS WON...

An American roots band following in the footsteps of Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, and the Grateful Dead.

The soundtrack to rough and rowdy lives lived long ago in El Paso, New Orleans, Memphis, and out on the Oklahoma plains comes tumbling into the 21st century.

​

American West is composed of...

  • Singer, guitarist, and rambler JW Louis from San Francisco

  • Master percussionist Manu Francois from St. Lucia

  • Sought-after session bassist Frans Huber from Christchurch

​

American West is based in Christchurch and currently being booked for shows and festivals throughout NZ.

​

Full schedule to be announced soon.
