The name Sixty Inch Slick, as most of you might know, is a racing tire. If by chance, you are wondering how we came up with that name, I will give you the history. We practice at a farm house out in God's country that is well over 100 years old. Our guitar player, Ralph, grew up in this house. Over four generations of Ralph's family lived in this house. Across the dirt road, they are planning on building a dragstrip. We thought that it would be neat to come up with a name that had something to do with this race track that they are building. After bashing our heads together and tying to think of something good, a friend of ours came up with the name Sixty Inch Slick. We all agreed on it and the rest is history. Sad enough to say, the house is going to be torn down soon. This house has created memories for all of us. Not just the band, but for the four generations.
Ok, now about the band...
About three years ago, Pete ("Animal") and Danny were out looking for musicians to form a high energy show. Danny spoke to Ralph at a family reunion about joining the band. Ralph’s previous band was no longer playing, so it didn’t take long for Ralph to make his decision on joining up with the team. We got very lucky to find Paul. What a great bassplayer. He fits perfectly in this band. Between Paul and Animal, we have an unstoppable driving force. Our latest addition, Rick Yezzi, sets the sound with a smooth rhythm. He may be the youngest of the group, but he plays like a true veteran. So if you like high energy country, come see us soon.....
We would like to thank our families and all of our fans for all of the support that you give us. To all of you, God Bless.........
