About The Band

Neosho River Boys evolved from a simple weekly jam session. As the get togethers continued Scott, Ron and Dale became fast friends and found themselves wanting to play more and practice and work up some real arrangements that would improve their skills. So, Neosho River Boys was formed and from the first gig until now the band constantly strives to improve, learn new material and keep their sound traditional. The song arrangements are a group collaboration and their look and sound have evolved through the years but still remain very traditional. It is important to the band to pay honor and respect to those who came before and leave a legacy for those who follow after.
