The forefathers of "crunchy western" music Jim McHugh, Morris Manning, Steve McBrian, and Jacob Stern deliver a homegrown, crunchy cookin' performance with mando, bass, fiddle, guitar, dobro, and vocals. Their unique sounds are sure to tame the wildest beast or maybe even awaken the spirit within. The Crunchy Western Boys have sold well over 2000 copies of their recent record 'The Crunchy Western Boys' featuring all original music by CWB members Morris Manning and Jim McHugh.
They've had great success touring Ireland in the past several years, having done three tours, with plans to return as soon as the new record is finished. This past summer the CWB traveled to Oregon where they took first place at the Northwest String Summit. Recently the band has played the second stage for Sugarland at Meadowbrook and have opened for numerous other bands including:
The Del McCoury Band
Yonder Mountain String Band
The Band
Allison Kraus and Union Station
The Charlie Daniels Band
NRBQ
New Riders of the Purple Sage
The Andy Statman Trio
Lynyrd Skynryd
The Guess Who
The Ivan Neville Band
The Outlaws
