Live Music with the Junction Bandits at Wild West Junction, Williams, AZ

Wild West Junction, located near the Grand Canyon in Williams, Arizona, appears to be part museum, part restaurant, and part theme park. Dedicated to preserving the history and culture of the Old West and the original Route 66, Wild West Junction hosts Western-themed events, live music performances, historical reenactments, and frequent car/motorcycle shows. The Territorial Museum features many artifacts from the Old West, including one of the world's largest collections of John Wayne memorabilia. Wild West Junction is also home to a working blacksmith shop, an old-style saloon, a restaurant, and a hotel. Visitors can also dress up in period costumes and have a photo taken in old-time sepia-tone style.

The Junction Bandits are one of the Wild West Junction's house bands, and they perform live music regularly at the saloon and restaurant. They play mostly cover songs by legendary country artists like Hank Williams and Merle Haggard. Their shows are family-friendly and truly encapsulate the Old West feel of historic Williams. On pleasant evenings, the band sometimes plays outdoors and visitors can gather around a fire pit to enjoy the music and sing along.
