Lambchop is a country rock band that formed in Nashville, Tennessee in the year 1993. Though they are a Nashville country band, they have a unique rock sound that is all their own. The band existed long before they formally came together in 1993 as the first three members, Kurt Wagner, Jim Watkins, and Mark Trovillion had been friends since high school and dabbled in music during their postgraduate years. After college, Wagner, born in 1959 in Tennessee, the lead of the band, along with Watkins, and Trovillion began making music together.
Their first band was called Posterchild. They added members in 1992 when they gained a guitarist in Bill Killbrew, a clarinet player in Jonathan Marx, and Scott C. Chase, Steve Goodhue, and Allen Lowery brought percussion to the band. Around this time, they changed their name to Lambchop.
The band took off even more as they added new members with their first album entitled I Hope You’re Sitting Down, which came out in 1994. They had minor successes until 2000 when their song “Nixon” became immensely popular. They had perhaps their greatest success in London playing at the London Royal Festival Hall; this performance was recorded live and sold to thousands of fans, and Lambchop continued touring extensively in the United Kingdom from that point on.
