Drew Kiddoo and The Blackouts are a nationally touring band from Upstate New York, playing country music with a rock & roll soul.

Rooted in '60s era honky-tonk, outlaw country, rockabilly, and old-school rock & roll, the band has built a sound that's loud, dark, danceable, and unmistakably their own. Equal parts dive bar, dance hall, and highway at 2 a.m., their songs tell stories about broken people, bad decisions, long miles, and the kind of nights that are better left unremembered.

Frontman Drew Kiddoo writes songs that feel lived in—simple enough to sing with a beer in your hand, honest enough to stick with you long after last call. Backed by a hard-driving band that thrives on loud rooms and late nights, The Blackouts have earned a reputation for high-energy shows where country fans, rockabilly diehards, punks, and rock & rollers all end up in the same crowd.

The band has independently released four full-length records, including their new single Black Widow, and has taken their music across the country with performances at the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance, Trapper Creek Bluegrass Festival in Alaska, the New York State Country Music Hall of Fame's Harvest Ramble, Memphis' legendary Hernando's Hide-A-Way, and countless bars, clubs, festivals, and dance halls in between.

Whether it's a packed honky-tonk or a corner dive with a plywood stage, Drew Kiddoo and The Blackouts show up with one goal: play country music that makes people move, sing, and come back for another round.

“"Giddyup and Go" is a collection of songs with a 'skippin town, on a road to nowhere, not belonging, drinkin to pass the time' vibe, with elements of love and heartbreak sprinkled in...The 10 track album features impeccable country instrumentals, pleasant vocals, and a rare ability to represent places and states of mind with sounds and lyrics and some edgy attitude. The sound is derived from older country, folk and rock'n'roll (50s,60s,70s) - everything from Jerry Lee Lewis to Texas roadhouse to John Prine influences to name a few.”
