Wheels Fargo and the Nightingale, a historic Italian band known around Europe,from east to west,for over 10 years for its unique hillbilly-western swing and bluegrassstyle, at the end of 2016 changes line-up and sound.

Going against the current and anticipating trends has always been a strong feature of the band, and following the arrival of two new members,the desire to inflame the sound has taken over, inserting for the first time a drum kit, thoughminimal, two electric guitars and lap steel. The new sound is oriented towards a tougher boppin'hillbilly, marked by pressing rhythms and harmonized duets on the wave of the early obscure vocal rockabilly (Rusty and Doug, Cliff Johnson, the Barker Brothers, Larry Phillipson).

The combo made its debut at the Hillbilly Hoedown Weekend #5 (UK) 2016 but the new sound was definitely celebrated on the stage of the Good Rockin' Tonight #15 (France) in the 2017 edition with an explosive reception.

In 2019 will be released on Part Records the new LP 10" on vinyl ' Rattlesnakes' with two original songs, preceded by a minitour in the London area.
