Biography
Hailing from Fort Worth, this Red Dirt Texas band is a blend of talented musicians and traveling souls made up of Jimmy Sliger, lead vocals/rhythm guitar; James Gilliland, backup vocals/lead guitar; Phillip Baker, bass guitar; and Tobie Tatum, drums. 281 South’s music is a soulful blend of Texas country, southern rock and blues.

281 South has played in venues across Texas and Oklahoma, opening for established artists such as Stoney Larue, Reckless Kelly, Micky and the Motorcars, Ryan Turner, Mark Mckinney, Deryl Dodd, Kevin Fowler, Tommy Alverson, Brandon Jenkins, and Phil Hamilton…just to name a few.

Third Times a Charm, 281 South’s first studio album with Hat Creek Records, hit the market with a bang in 2008 and their single “Coming Home Tonight” played on radio stations all across Texas and Oklahoma. The band was also featured on Fox 4 Good Day Texas in 2009 to promote their first single. The band just released their new single “Boxcar” (now available on iTunes and CD Baby) which has sparked a new interest in longtime fans as well as capturing the hearts of new ones.

Known for their high octane shows, dedication to their craft, and workaholic mentality, the sky is truly the limit for this rising band in the Texas music scene.
