The Rebel Band was formed by Lanny Hamlet son of Norm Hamlet Leader of Merle Haggard's Stranger's. Lanny together with the songwriting and singing talent of vocalist Davy Brewton formed Rebel Band. Most of the boys came out of the Bakersfield sound. The name Rebel was voted on because the boys for the most part attended South high school in Bakersfield. Davy was managed by the Famous Bill Woods of Bakersfield and Lanny was raised up under the guiding hand of Roy Nichols and his dad Norm Hamlet. The other members included; Randy Patterson, Gary Flansburg, Dave Bishop,stuart Gunter,Larry Hamlet. The later on came down to only five original members.Dave Bishop, Gary Flansburg, Stuart Gunter,Davy Brewton & Lanny Hamlet. Now in 2004 Rebel is still playing music! The songs are getting better with four albums recorded, five awards to thier name, Davy & Lanny are still recording and singing and are now looking for a songwriting contract. Their credits include concerts with stars such as Merle Haggard,Tv apperences and many recording studio sessions and production credits.Band/artist history
