The Maverick, September 2007

About Diesel Therapy
Our AimOur aim is simple: to ensure that your guests have a great night out!
We want to share our passion for the sounds of Bluegrass, Western Swing and old-time Americana. We love twangy old American guitars, warm valve amps and block harmonies.
But we were born in the UK. We’ve never been hobos, driven rigs or jumped freight trains. So we write about our own experiences.
We’re equally at home playing acoustic or electric sets – whatever is best for your guests and your venue.
And although we have a combined musical experience of over a hundred years, we still just want to plug in and play!
