Country music fans and rock enthusiasts alike have something new to celebrate with the release of Brian Childress and Western Fusion's latest single, "When The Ride Is Over." This dynamic track marks a significant milestone for the band, blending their rich history with a modern sound that's sure to captivate a wide audience.

A Band with Deep Roots and Broad Horizons

Founded in the late 90s by Brian Childress, Western Fusion began with a vision to create a band that sounded just like the radio, featuring some of Arizona's finest musicians. Initially, they focused on traditional country music, performing hits from icons like George Strait, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Keith Urban, Old Dominion, and Cody Johnson. However, as the band evolved, so did their musical repertoire. Today, this talented five-piece ensemble not only excels in country music but also covers a wide range of hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, along with an eclectic mix of pop and rock songs from artists such as Bruno Mars, Motley Crue, Sublime, 311, Bryan Adams, Billy Idol, and Tears for Fears.

A Respected Name in the Local Music Scene

For over 25 years, Western Fusion has been a staple in the Arizona music scene. Their impressive performance history includes opening for national acts like Blake Shelton, Easton Corbin, and Mark Wills. They've also backed and opened for 90s country icon Wade Hayes and served as the opening act for the legendary Charlie Daniels at Cliff Castle Casino. Western Fusion's versatility and broad appeal have made them a sought-after act at various events and venues, including the Tempe Block Party, Phoenix International Raceway, Coconino County Fair, and numerous casinos such as Harrah's Ak-Chin, Gila River, Apache Gold, and Fort McDowell. Most recently, they brought their high-energy performance to Las Vegas at The Tropicana for the Wrangler's National Finals Rodeo Watch Party.
