Jimmy Hillbillies

The Jimmy Hillbillies, a lively seven-piece band, blend traditional instruments like accordion, mandolin, and banjo with unique sounds from a didgeridoo, cow-bell, and washboard. Drawing on country, folk, and cowpunk influences, their high-energy performances create a fun, stomping atmosphere that encourages dancing and singing. Known for their catchy songs about Dorset life, love, and dancing chickens, they’ve performed at major festivals like Camp Bestival and Boomtown. Formed in 2018, the band emerged from the Dorset music scene, with members hailing from bands like Kentucky Fight Club and Pronghorn, creating a distinctive blend of hoedown, country, and punk styles.
