The Windmill Hill Dance Band is the Western Swing version of a “supergroup”! Brother Ethan Shaw Sam Platts, Lilly Platts, and Martin Sargent were having so much fun being side-men in each other's bands that they decided to focus their love of traditional Western Swing on a collaborative band.
The actual cowboy of the bunch, Sam is well-known as one of the top Cowboy singers in the country, and has many accolades and great reviews of his performances and albums. Lilly is the winner of the Bob Wills Fiddle Contest, and Martin has backed up some of the top Americana and traditional Country artists in the country. You can learn a lot more about Ethan on this site, if you haven't yet.
Together, they have performed at the prestigious National Cowboy Poetry Convention in Elko, NV, the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival (California), and countless dancehalls, festivals, and private events across Texas.
