The Chitlins, came together by way of the dive bars, honky tonks and casinos of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Where there are no closing time's and bands play until the wee hours of the morning. Born from the desire to create something special. Bred from the love of country music, the blues, soul and rock & roll. The Chitlins show is an array of original music and classic rock & blues hits!!!!
