The Chitlins are a band of musical brothers that came together along the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico, in the coastal city of Gulfport, Mississippi. They take a back-to-the-basics approach to their brand of music. A mixture of rock, blues and country. Influenced by the culture and traditions of the southern way of life....and being held to no boundaries. A bit rough around the edges, yet cooked up with true soul and served up piping hot!!!!

“We love working with The Chitlins! And their fans - The Chitheads - are the best! They are our favorite band and never disappoint. Each performance and each new recording is better than the last. We can't wait to have them back again this year headlining the 10th Annual View The Cruise on the big stage for the 3rd year in a row. We will have thousands of people for this event and there's no other band out there to entertain the crowd the way that they do...all the way baby!”
