The Lost Trailers Tally 25th Show In 25 Days

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ BNA Records) - When BNA Recording artists The Lost Trailers took the stage earlier this week in York, PA, it was their 25th performance in 25 days. For entertainers in country music, that kind of workload is usually reserved for the biggest names in the industry, but for the Holler Back Boys from Hotlanta its merely business as usual.

"We've always let ambition get the best of us," laughs songwriter/guitarist Stokes Nielson, "Even before we had a record deal or a hit single out, we'd pile into a van and embark on a yearlong tour of honkytonks, only pit stopping long enough to gas up and get a couple of hours of sleep at some motel. So I don't think it's a surprise to people who know us to see that we're celebrating our first Top 5 album by doing what we do best...playing concerts for people who love country music."

The quintet learned the importance of performing live from the iconic Willie Nelson, who discovered the group in 2001. He gave the then-unknown band of high school friends the chance to open for him throughout the Southeast and nurtured the work ethic that the band embodies today.

"We got addicted to the road after those early Willie supporting slots." says lead singer Ryder Lee. "Maybe it was all the times we sang along to 'On The Road Again' from the side of the stage!"

Their high energy performances have served them well this summer, as The Lost Trailers shared a stage with Kenny Chesney, Carried Underwood, Trace Adkins, Montgomery Gentry, and many others, while also making time to headline their own shows. Their new album, Holler Back, debuted at No 5 on The Billboard Country sales charts, and the title track single has been in the Top 10 for more than a month.
