Slim White and The Averys are five musicians from diverse backgrounds and various influences, but they share a common dedication to the classic honky tonk songs and sounds that have blazed the trail for country music ever since The Carter Family were first recorded in Bristol, TN, in 1927. The band is disciplined and focused, with an emphasis on the tight arrangements and energetic stagecraft that characterized the transitional acts out of Bakersfield, CA, that prominently featured the bright sounds of the Telecaster, the pedal steel, and close, two part vocal harmonies.

The Averys are Jake Cheshire, electric bass and vocals; Slim White, acoustic guitar and vocals; Seth Massing, lead guitar; Rich Tipple, pedal steel guitar; and Brady Oxender, drums.
