Country Swing & Honky Tonk:

Authentic Western Swing and Honky-Tonk from the coast of California to the far reaches of Eastern Europe, Denver's Dalhart Imperials have delighted thousands of lovers of traditional American music with their unique brand of authentic western swing and honky-tonk. Playing vintage instruments, sporting authentic vintage western wear, and holding fast to the traditions of Bob Wills and Hank Williams, the Dalhart Imperials impart a true Western ambience wherever they appear. This is not your everyday, run-of-the-mill top-forty country & western band, but rather a group of versatile, dedicated musicians, well schooled in the musical styles of the 1930's, 40's, 50's and 60's, and totally committed to preserving our Western musical heritage. Swinging steel guitar, rollicking honky-tonk piano, smooth vocals and a boppin' rhythm section make the Dalhart Imperials music come alive with the sounds of the American West.
