Rattlesnake Whip – Memphis Americana & Punk Rock Band
Hailing from the neon-soaked streets of Memphis, Tennessee, Jonathan Postal & Rattlesnake Whip deliver a sound forged in the fires of the Delta and refined in the shadows of Beale Street. Their music is a high-octane blend of Americana, punk-rock swagger, and Southern storytelling—equal parts midnight highway and Sunday morning reckoning. With the raw energy of a live wire and a deep respect for the Bluff City’s musical lineage, they aren’t just playing songs; they’re capturing the restless spirit of the modern South. Pull up a chair, pour a drink, and get ready for the bite.
