Upon first glance of the Texas Hippie Coalition, one may come to the conclusion that they are an intimidating group that lives up to the cliché of their nickname "band of outlaws." However, looking a little closer at lead vocalist Big Dad Ritch, bassist John Exall, guitarists Randy Cooper and Crawfish, and drummer Ryan Bennett; it's hard to ignore that they are indeed much more than meets the eye. They are a loyal and talented "band of brothers" who consider themselves just as much family as they are band mates.

"We're as southern as southern can be," says 'Big Dad' Ritch, the behemoth front man and driving force behind Texas Hippie Coalition. "Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, ZZ Top, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson we're as outlaw as we can get, while at the same time having the power of that Texas groove, like Pantera. We're metal with a southern rock and roll spirit. We are a band of outlaws."
