It’s a
one of a kind experience. And not like anything you’ve ever
seen or heard. Mustang Sally is six extremely talented women
performing as one hard hitting, energetic, and electrifying
band. They are touring with a stage full of musical
instruments, a ton of great songs, and a show that rocks. It
is a recipe that has been drawing crowds from coast to
coast.

Mustang
Sally is hot, hip and cool. They are based in Nashville, but
it has taken telephones and airplanes, luck and timing to
bring them together to create what is arguably the best
all-girl touring band in the nation. Of course, many fans
and critics have been making a strong case that Mustang
Sally is one of the best bands on the road - bar none.
Together a little over four years, Mustang Sally was created
when drummer Lisa Romeo began putting together a band for an
All Female Jam Night at Nashville’s legendary Hall of Fame
Lounge. From the vast pool of talent in Nashville, Lisa put
the band together and they soon branched out from Music City
to play other towns and other clubs. At first, many talent
buyers would book them for the novelty of an all girl band,
but their fun, crazy show and the solid performances would
earn Mustang Sally a return engagement. Romeo explains, "I
think that individually and collectively we just want to be
respected as musicians and entertainers, even though it may
be a little tough to get around the stereotype at first."
Drawing from diverse backgrounds and musical influences,
Mustang Sally has developed into a hot six-piece band that
offers edgy country music with a contemporary feel and
traditional roots. The reputation of this band has grown for
good reason. Featuring a live show that sizzles, lots of
attitude and polish, it doesn’t take much past the first
song for Mustang Sally to earn the respect they seek. The
band features Debbie Johnson (Springfield, MO) plays bass
guitar and sings. On keyboards and vocals is Becky Priest
(Hubbard, TX). Lead guitar is handled by Lynn Campbell (Te
Awamatu, New Zealand). Lisa Romeo (Omaha, NE) plays drums
and adds harmony vocals. The wild one on fiddle, mandolin,
sax and guitar is Renae Truex (Moundsville, WV).
They
have played many high profile dates, such as opening for
George Jones, Lee Ann Rimes, Aaron Tippin, John Anderson,
Mark Chestnut, Wade Hayes, Exile, Confederate Railroad, and
others. Mustang Sally has become a popular act on the rodeo,
fair and festival circuit, and dozens of casinos have found
this band is good for business. All of which has not gone
unnoticed by Music Row. There is a buzz among record execs,
their fellow musicians, and songwriters alike that something
big is happening for Mustang Sally.
Meanwhile, the girls stay busy on the road, from California
to Florida, New Jersey to North Dakota. And for 2001 they
will be playing in the Virgin Islands and Europe. What
started out as a back up band for the Hall of Fame Lounge
has gone international! Give them a chance and you’ll see
why Mustang Sally may very well be inducted into the Hall of
Fame before long.
