Tyler Flathau
a Hattiesburg, Mississippi native, traded college athletics for life on the road and stage. With influences rooted in storytelling and outlaw country, his music blends grit, honesty, and attitude into every song. Built for long drives and loud nights, his sound is as restless as he is.
Carson Mars
is a lifelong songwriter from Hattiesburg, MS. He began performing and releasing music in 2017 with a band The Holly Rogers, and can be found as a member of Half Dollar Rodeo and The Grace Manor Saints.
Drawing from inspirations such as Jason Isbell, John Prine, Jeff Walker, and various other artists with names that start with the letter J, Carson clearly has a deep love for the poetry of “mostly true” stories.
Zachary Biglane
is a mostly self-taught guitarist who hails from the deep recesses of the Jones County wilderness. His musical journey started at age 9 after watching Led Zeppelin’s ‘76 documentary. Starting as a drummer, Biglane was drawn to stringed instruments from his influences of Malcolm Young (AC/DC), Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones); and has been performing, since age 23, on bass and guitar in several projects before joining Half Dollar Rodeo.
Jake Biglane
of Ellisville, MS began playing guitar at the age of 8 when he was enrolled in private lessons. Out of a necessity in his small town, the bass guitar fell into his hands and age 15 and he stepped up to fill a vital role in any band’s sound. The rest is history, as they say. Jake has previously gigged across the south with a top 40’s Country hits project, as well as filling in many spots for bands in need of some low end. His biggest influences are Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Pino Palladino, Danny Dempsey (Turnover), and Robert Trujillo (Metallica).
Colten Yates
is a versatile percussionist from McComb, MS. His work spans live performance, education, composition, and production. He holds a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Southern Mississippi where he studied a wide range of percussion styles.
He draws his inspiration from a wide array of music spanning Rock, Country, Jazz, Latin, and Classical. One of his favorite things is to blend as many genres as possible, while maintaining a groove that not only feels good, but contributes to the music. He is currently a member of Half Dollar Rodeo and The Grace Manor Haints.
