Hailing from Melbourne, Australia and fuelled by a love of honky tonk and vintage
country music, come No Sleep Till Texas.
Paying homage to their own heroes, the likes of Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Waylon
Jennings, Doug Sahm, Dwight Yoakam and Willie Nelson, this Melbourne outfit are
throwbacks to when country music was exactly that.
Delivering their honest and bare bones take on country classics, combined with a suite
of their own like-minded original creations, No Sleep Till Texas are all about a good time.
Folks up and dancing and the energy that comes with it ... that’s what they’re all about.
Since their inception in mid 2022, No Sleep Till Texas have built a strong and loyal
following which continues to grow. Selling out and filling venues and shows across
Melbourne and throughout their home state. Living by the mantra “hit the dance floor
and we’ll keep playing more”.
The band have become the staple honky tonk backdrop of the successful Lightning and
Rhinestone events, playing alongside some of Melbourne’s finest country and Americana
exponents.
Their success and reputation saw them join illustrious company at 2024’s Out On The
Weekend festival, playing alongside top international and local acts.
No Sleep Till Texas are fronted by award winning singer-songwriter Rick Hart (vocals,
acoustic guitar), along with Luke Callahan (drums), Brendan Mitchell (pedal steel, vocals),
Paul Robertson (electric guitar, vocals), Colin McNeil (bass) and Vanessa Hart (vocals).
