Once an Outlaw

Once an Outlaw is a band featuring former members of the Southern Rock band the Outlaws. It features on guitar and vocals (currently of the Marshall Tucker Band), Chris Anderson ( currently of Rattlebone) and Jeff Howell bass and vocals (formerly of Foghat and Savoy Brown).

Once an Outlaw” was formed by the desire of several former members of the Southern Rock Band, the “Outlaws”. guitarist Chris “Hitman” Hicks (1989 - 1996), guitarist Chris Anderson (1986 - 1989, 2005 -20018) and bassist Jeff Howell (1993 - 1996) brought together by Chuck Farrell, former guitarist of New England tribute band the “Peacheaters” with the idea of taking the hits on the road.

Since leaving the Outlaws, Hicks has been a member of another legendary Southern Rock Band, the Marshall Tucker Band” touring and recording with them since 1996. Howell, prior to joining the Outlaws had been a member of the transplanted English blues band, Foghat (1988 - 1991) and after leaving the Outlaws returned to them to continue touring and recording (2010, 2015). Anderson did two stints with the Outlaws (1986 - 1989 and 2005 - 2018) in between touring or writing for performers such as Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams, Jr. and Stephen Stills.

That they were all successful musicians who had great careers is not in doubt, but the desire to keep the excitement going never left them. So with Peacheater drummer, AJ Vallee and Chuck Farrell, they had decided to form a band that will perform songs from the various bands the musicians played in throughout their careers.

With that said you can expect to hear hits such as “Green Grass and High Tides”, “Hurry Sundown”, “Can’t You See”, “Heard it in a love Song”, “Take the Highway”, ”Slow Ride”, “Fool for the City” a among others.
