The Ozark Mountain Daredevils have been aptly described as “a ragtag collection of hippies, bohemians, and musicians of no fixed ambition.” They have always been indefinable in terms of music genres, producing sounds of country-rock and electric bluegrass all on the same record; writing lyrics both whimsical and poetic, singing harmonies that give you shivers.
The Daredevils’ formal beginning as a band was in Springfield, MO in 1971. Originally adopting the name Cosmic Corncob & His Amazing Ozark Mountain Daredevils, it was shortened to The Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
The Daredevils have released a number of major label and independent record label recordings, performed throughout North America and Europe, and they continue to grow and maintain a loyal fan base throughout the world.
Writer Mike Warren of KCUR.org says they "were cult favorites, perfect for singalongs around bonfires at the lake... the Daredevils did things their own way." Songs like “If You Wanna Get To Heaven,” “Jackie Blue,” “Chicken Train,” and “Standing On The Rock" cemented the band's place in music history.
With two original co-founders, their signature style remains vibrant. The band's talented members can perform any song from their vast catalog. New songs are proof to their evolution as songwriters and musicians.
