The HiHats biography

The members of The HiHats have known each other forever but because they were all road dogs (and Eric is a lawyer of all things) they never managed to all be free at the same time, until now. The HiHats was the name of singer/songwriter Eric Athey’s grandmother’s honkey-tonk band in the 40’s so we picked up where she left off. Collectively Eric, bass player Ron Bitler, drummer Craig Rakin and lead guitarist Mike (Mickey Dean) Fisher have played and/or recorded with some pretty cool folks like Heather Miles, Victoria Shaw, Robert Gordon, Al Kooper, Charlie Gracie, and many others. Eric’s three CDs featured members of S0n Volt and Whiskeytown and several of them will be joining The HiHats for Roots and Blues.

Check out Eric Athey on YouTube as well as the Mickey and the best rhythm section in captivity also on YouTube with Little Leroys.
