The Jangling Reinharts 
With years of experience in successful regional acts behind them, the Reinharts came together to provide a roots rock based music largely forgotten by other bands. Think: The Band meets Van Morrison and they go out to Stephen Stills' house and listen to the Monkees while watching a Barenaked Ladies video. The music that would come out of that melting pot may somewhat describe a bit of what they are all about.

C39 E-Magazine
At the moment, they are just two guys who really love skateboarding and want to do as much as we can to help promote skating in El Paso especially. Not just skateboarding either, rather, the spirit of skateboarders...if that makes any sense.
