About Us...

 The Band

"Alamo" was formed in the summer of 1992 by original members Eddie Moore and Greg Long. The group performed at fairs, festivals, and on the infamous "cowboy circuit" opening for nationally signed country acts such as: Confederate Railroad, Marty Stuart, David Allan Coe, Neil McCoy, Clay Walker, David Ball, John Conley, and David Lee Murphy, just to name a few. In 1999, Alamo disbursed to build new houses, raise families, and take some much needed rest from a grueling traveling schedule. Although the members of Alamo were no longer playing live shows, their love for performing never died. In the summer of 2004, the "itch" to perform in front
of live crowds became unbearable, hence the Alamo rides again!  Their powerful blend of country meets rock and is sure to be a huge hit at your next event. On and off stage, the level of professionalism and quality of entertainment Alamo brings to your event is second to none .
