Cole Deggs and The Lonesome

99.5 WYCD welcomed this exciting new act as they made their Detroit debut at Coyote Joe's on Thursday, March 22nd! Now we are pleased to bring them back, by popular demand to Detroit's WYCD Hoedown!
SONY BMG recently welcomed Cole Deggs & The Lonesome as the newest addition to its Columbia Nashville label. The five-piece band, fronted by Cole Deggs, is comprised of Coles brother Shade on bass, brothers Jimmy and David Wallace on keyboards and lead guitar, respectively, and Florida native Brian Hayes on drums. The Deggs brothers grew up in Lake Jackson, TX, while the Wallaces hail from Shreveport, LA.
Cole is not only recording his own hit-songs to hit radio airwaves soon, but he’s also writing them for others. Cole wrote Tracy Byrd’s latest single “Cheapest Motel? as well as the upcoming debut single from MCA recording artist Jason Michael Caroll called “Waitin’ In The Country.? Cole also wrote “Live Those Songs? recorded by Kenny Chesney for his multi-platinum album No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem. The song is the title track to Kenny’s LIVE album.
Fifteen years in the making, Cole Deggs & The Lonesome is a genuine “band of brothers.? Individually, they are accomplished musicians and songwriters. Collectively, they are a rock steady, look-you-in-the-eye song craft, and their debut album for Columbia Nashville is a fusion of country rock and southern soul from a five-man band as real and genuine as the music they make.
Call it country with an edge, if you like, music that’s country to the core but also rocks and blends in touches of the blues as well as the special seasonings of their Texas and Louisiana roots. Add to the mix road-honed musicianship, songwriting sharpened by top-flight experience, and then brotherly harmonies in a tradition that stretches back in country through the Everlys and Louvins — and in this case, multiplied times two sets of brothers for masterful harmonies — and you’ve got a new country band with the confidence, chops and charm of time-tested veterans. |
