Band History

While The Southern Drawl Band primarily performed covers of popular southern rock songs, Made in America, which was in existence from 1985-1992, was known for their focus on the composition and performances of original musical content. In 1985, the band released a 45 RPM single titled “I Like ‘Em Chunky,” which was sold at all Record World and Book and Record locations, and received significant airplay on several Hudson Valley public and college radio stations. During the band’s later years, the band members performed showcase shows and opened for bands such as The Fixx, Steppenwolf, and pursuing major record label deals.
