After their performance in HCM City, the band will travel to the southern coastal city of Vung Tau for another one-night concert on May 12 and then head for northern Hai Phong city and Hanoi on May 15 and 17.

"This is a chance for us to bring American folk songs closer to Vietnamese people as well as to learn the features of Vietnamese folk music," said singer Jesson Dayton.

Founded in the late 1980s, the four-member band is composed of vocalist Dayton, drummer Eric Tucker, bass guitarist James Elmo Sproat and steel guitar player Nathan Fleming. Jesse Dayton wins the hearts of his fans with his lively performance style, accompanied by rock-like beats rooted in American country.

Dayton released his solo debut Raisin' Cain in 1995. Thanks to positive reviews, he was invited to do live and studio work with country luminaries George Strait, Waylon Jennings and Ray Price. His 2004 album, Country Soul Brother, combined honky-tonk, rockabilly, soul and folk styles.

Dayton's March release South Austin Sessions showcases the musical influence of well-known artists such as Townes Van Zandt, Waylon Jennings, Jim Lauderdale and ZZ Top.
