Ithaca, NY-based Drew Kiddoo and The Blackouts (pronounced kih-doo) have been crafting their distinctive brand of country music for nearly a decade. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of American music, they fuse 60s honky-tonk and classic country with a gritty rockabilly edge—creating a sound that’s as twangy as it is dark.

Drew’s songwriting delivers a timeless, easy-to-sing-along nostalgia, electrified by an aggressive energy that fuels barn-burnin’, good-time dance crowds. Their songs tell stories of the open road, heartbreak, and endless nights, captivating audiences while touring throughout the nation.

Since their debut, Drew Kiddoo and The Blackouts have released four albums, including their latest, GiddyUp and Go. Their dynamic, boot-stompin’ tunes have earned them a devoted following and appearances at notable venues and festivals such as Alaska’s Trapper Creek Bluegrass Festival, The New York State Country Music Hall Of Fame Museum’s “Harvest Ramble” Festival, Memphis’ World Famous Hernando’s Hideaway, and the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival of Music and Arts. Whether playing dance halls, dive bars, or major festival stages, the band delivers high-energy sets infused with rowdy outlaw country grit and roadhouse swagger—making them a perfect fit for any lineup looking to ignite the crowd
