Quote:

Heartland member Keith West describes the Heartland sound -- "If you take some Beach Boys and a little bit Alabama and put them in a cup and shake them up, you get the Heartland sound. We like putting on a very lively show that might make you think back to the 80’s rock days--maybe not as crazy, but we do like to move around and entertain the people."
