Born of a band on a break, Risky & Why is an acoustic band perfect for venues large and small. Playing Classic Rock, Roots, Americana and Modern Folk music, we provide great entertainment, pleasant background atmosphere and sing-along fun. Each with over 30 years performing for audiences throughout the western U.S., our musicians are all multi-instrumentalists, showing a diversity and an interesting stage show not usually seen. We keep audiences engaged and participating.

From nightclubs to breweries and wineries to concerts in the park to private engagements, our musical range delights audiences of all sizes. Material from Tom Petty, Jason Isbell, Counting Crows, Dawes, The Police, Old 97’s and more all get the Risky & Why treatment. No giant drum sets and over-the-top electric guitars. Just excellent musicians playing excellent music.
