The Lost Trailers
Current Single: "Holler Back" (click to listen)

The Lost Trailers sound like no one else because they have a story like no one else.

Strengthened by years of constant road work, the Georgia quintet share a bond born of overcoming setbacks that would have broken many bands. The Lost Trailers wear their tenacity like a badge of honor: songwriter-guitarist-singer Stokes Nielson, lead singer-keyboardist Ryder Lee, guitarist Manny Medina, bassist Andrew Nielson and drummer Jeff Potter have been through the fire together, and it's made them better musicians and a tighter band.

In the end, that's what counts: for, whatever it took to get them where they are today, there's no denying this is a band that makes amazing music together.

Live, the band ignites a crowd, mixing fist-pumping, good-time sing-a-longs with slice-of-life story songs. "We're all about having a blast and letting loose," Ryder says. "You put us in front of a crowd, and we'll win them over. The stage is pure adrenaline for us. That's where we make our stand."

And they definitely make a stand in the country singles chart with their whoop-it-up, good times single, "Holler Back."
