Profile

A little old-timey, a little bit early-Nashville, The Whoreshoes strike the perfect balance of loveable country. From their recent performance at the 2004 Gay Rodeo in La Honda, CA to the popular San Francisco music venue, The Make-out Room, this all-gal ensemble is comfortable playing outdoor festivals to smoky nightclubs.

Featuring members of The Runaway Truck Tramps, Hank and Cypher In The Snow, The Whoreshoes perform old-time and honky-tonk songs to put a tear in your eye and drink in your glass. "We do everything from bars to barbeques. If the Whoreshoes are there, it's always a 'ho-down'." Scrappy and sweet, these women fight for your heart. And for their place at the bar.

The Whoreshoes are five women who came together from throughout the Bay Area, representing San Francisco, Oakland, and Marin County to create traditional-with-a-twist country music. Scorning "contemporary country" these women celebrate the roots of country western, with a lively mix of obscure classics from the likes of the Stanley Brothers and the Carter Family to their original tunes that you might swear you've heard before.

Multi-instrumentalism is a trade mark of this band, with five players bringing out the best in banjo, fiddle, guitar, lap steel, madolin, ukulele, honky-tonk piano, accordian, washboard and spoons. Their sweet harmonies can lead you to the brink of tears then move you to the dance floor to kick up your heels with a yee-haw! Whether electric or acoustic, these musicians seek to evoke the best of a bygone era and bring that boot stomping, hollering spirit direct to you. After just one year, The Whoreshoes have become the favorite of many, and will certainly be favored at Camp Betty Campout.
