Their 2019 single "Devil on My Heels" won the praise of Classic Rock Magazine: "Expect delicious spadefuls of Heart, Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin with this gnarly blues rock number from Wisconsin rockers Bourbon House. Spearheaded by smoky-yet-strident siren Lacey Crowe, it's the kind of music that doesn't know whether to flirt with you or kick you in the teeth – and we mean that in a good way." Bourbon House won a feature on the magazine's covermount compilation CD, and also won Track of the Week against a poll of talented, well-established signed bands. With the aid of influencial rock radio DJ's around the world, including a shoutout endorsement from Eddie Trunk, the single quickly climbed the underground rock ranks, reaching #1 on the independent charts in Australia and #2 in the U.K.
While the band has performed extensively throughout the Midwest and beyond, including club shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and most recently in Nashville with supporting slots for Crobot and Jasmine Cain, an extensive 2020 tour has been postoned due to the efferts to curb the spread of Covid-19. With a live performance described as energetic and dynamic, with power vocals, explosive guitar riffs and a tight and groovy rhythm section, Bourbon House is using this off-time to rehearse and create a live show bigger and better than before.
The hard-hitting and gritty rock song "Too High to Care" is the newest single from Bourbon House, released April 17, 2020. Recorded and produced at the legendary Rustbelt Studios in Detroit, MI with engineer Steve Lehane, it's the first of five new tracks scheduled to be released this year.
