Barnyard Stompers

Casey Miller and Megan Wise are a power duo known as Barnyard Stompers. The two have collectively played in many legendary roots music outfits including The Hillbilly Hellcats and The Bop Kings and have teamed together in order to combine several generations of Outlaw Country, Texas Stomp, Blues, Rockabilly and Dark Hillbilly, creating a new sub-genre known as Backwoods Twang. Barnyard Stompers definitely have a style all their own; however, they hold true to the stylings of the pioneers of roots music such as Johnny Cash, Bukka White, Bill Monroe, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams as well as more recent artists like Scott H. Biram, Flat Duo Jets and Junior Brown. In just over a year, Barnyard Stompers have released a seventeen track debut CD, The Way-Gone, Wild and Rockin' Sounds of Barnyard Stompers as well as their new release, Outlaws with Chainsaws, and have played over 250 shows in over thirty states and five countries. Casey Miller plays a mean guitar and harmonica as he sings in the traditional stylings of Johnny Cash, John Lee Hooker and Hank Williams. Never taking himself too seriously, his kazoo antics and crowd interaction always stirs up a laugh from fans. Megan Wise plays all things percussive and produces a big, full sound as she pounds the skins in her very own style that must be heard and seen. Her vocal style is reminiscent of Kitty Wells and she can also swing a steady rhythm on acoustic guitar. Folks say that Barnyard Stompers sound like a full live band to which they reply, "We ARE a full band." The power duo certainly hold their own as they run circles around most four or five piece bands. Those who are into true stomping, down-home, roots music owe it to themselves to check out Barnyard Stompers. "That stain on the lead singer’s overalls could be barbecue sauce, but it’s probably blood. Such is the raw outlaw-garage-country-psychobilly-punk appeal of Barnyard Stompers, the Denver-based ne’er-do-well duo that’s going to burn down Bill’s Place in a free, early evening Sunday show. These guys have an album called “Outlaws and Chainsaws,” after all. Oh, you know what? That’s barbecue sauce AND blood." - Yakima Herald Republic (6/27/13) "BUY THIS ALBUM!! Straight-up hell-raisin', barn-burnin', cow-punkin’, hillbilly rock and rollin' from the power duo of Casey Miller and Go Go Wise… There’s even a nod to “Mad” Maynard Horlick in there somewhere." —Hepkat of The Rock and Roll Jamboree Radio Show "You know it has been a long time since I have found a band that I enjoy listening to on repeat… Barnyard Stompers is one of those bands. Members are Megan Go-Go Wise and Casey Miller. The talent with these two is simply amazing. As stated in “Got me a Trailer” this album will, ‘blow your f’n doors off!’” —Colorado Music Buzz Magazine
