A graphic design featuring a large truck with a round logo above and below. The logo contains the word 'California' at the top and 'Turnaround' at the bottom. Inside the truck grill are two crossed guitars.

Climb aboard the musical big rig that is California Turnaround, a seven-piece country band reviving the forgotten classics of the trucker genre.

Serving up hot tunes circa 1960-1979, California Turnaround blasts down musical byroads with a whiff of diesel smoke, Jack Daniels and diner coffee. Hop in and find out what's at the end of that long white line....
