Fargo Strut is a 4-piece band from somewhere around Nashville, Tennessee. This band formed when two lifelong friends, Jeff Turner and Billy Atkisson, got together to jam. Billy and Jeff both got guitars for Christmas the same year when they were in their early teens. They had played together numerous times throughout the years and had very similar taste in music. Billy studied music at MTSU and earned a Bachelor's degree in classical guitar with an emphasis on instrumental performance. As fate would have it, when they got back together to play some music Billy had a set of drums and became the drummer and singer because that way they could play, write and have more of a full band sound. Their music is a hybrid between metal and hard rock that combines an ’80s attitude with today’s newer sounds. Quoting their own words, they write and play music that they love and want to share, taking their influences and twisting them into something new and heart felt. This is a mix of flash and soul, with their guitar-oriented style. This band released their debut album entitled Across the Sky in October 2016. And currently, they are preparing a new album, Can’t Cool Down, with an expected release in October 2018. Right now, Billy’s back to his first and only love, the almighty guitar, and auditions for drummers is currently going on as the band gets ready to release their latest music and hit the stage again very soon!
