About Us

From their 2011 kickoff in Kansas City, the Starhaven Rounders swiftly built and continue a reputation for high energy shows full of ‘sass and defiance’ (Tim Finn, KC Star). Conceived by drummer Wade Williamson (descendant of a long line of country western musicians), the band pays tribute to music from other eras, performing fan favorites like “Six Days on the Road” and "Silver Wings", alongside songs from iconic country legends like Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, and more. The seven-piece band (with dozens of years of combined stage experience) is a classic country music lover’s dream, featuring pedal steel, fiddle, and four harmony singers (two female, two male). The band’s upbeat, full-throttle performances get audiences dancing and cheering as the Starhaven Rounders play the music of the heartland, celebrating family tradition, great songwriting and legendary musicians.
