About
Formed in 2005, Brent Amaker and the Rodeo is a Seattle-based Country and Western band known for a distinct visual identity inspired by Johnny Cash and Spaghetti Western cinema. The group performs clad in head-to-toe black with matching Stetson hats and cowboy boots, blending traditional western themes with art rock and glam influences. The band is noted for its cinematic performance art, often incorporating burlesque dancers and their signature 'Whiskey Baptism' ritual into live shows. Their work extends beyond music into film and comics, including appearances in the slasher film Punch and song placements on major television series such as Big Little Lies, Weeds, and Californication.
