1. Vacant Bottle was born out of the dream of three friends, Ethan, Jake, and Clara, who all hailed from the small town of Guthrie, Oklahoma. Being surrounded by the rich musical heritage of their town, they found it impossible not to be drawn into the world of music themselves. Ethan and Jake, lifelong buddies, were the ones to initiate the formation, both sharing a love for music that extended to jamming on their worn-out guitars after school. Clara, the daughter of a local choir director, joined the duo with her enchanting voice, and the band was formed. They practiced in Ethan’s old barn and played at local bars, becoming local staples and earning a dedicated following. The band chose the name ‘Vacant Bottle’, symbolizing the emptiness they felt growing up in a small town with big dreams, aspiring to fill their ‘bottle’ with musical experiences and success.

2. Vacant Bottle is best known for their unique style of Indie Rock, infused with elements of Folk and Country.

3. A song title from their first major record is “Dusty Road Blues.”

4. “Dusty Road Blues” Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Walking down a dusty road, a vacant bottle in my hand,
Got dreams bigger than this old town, but no one seems to understand.
Got my guitar and my old worn boots, my spirit ready to fly,
But this town’s got a hold of me, and I’m wondering why.

Chorus:
Singing the Dusty Road Blues, under the moonlit night,
Picking strings to the rhythm of my heart, hoping it’ll take flight.
Gonna fill up this vacant bottle, with songs and memories,
This dusty road is my home, where my heart finds its ease.

Verse 2:
Clara’s voice echoes in the night, like a beacon of hope,
Her melodies are sweet and pure, giving us the strength to cope.
Jake’s guitar strumming in harmony, telling tales untold,
We are the voices of this town, and our story will unfold.

Chorus:
Singing the Dusty Road Blues, under the starry skies,
Look at us, we’re dreamers, refusing to compromise.
This vacant bottle’s filling up, with dreams, love, and tears,
We’re singing loud, we’re singing proud, drowning out our fears.

Bridge:
These dusty roads have seen us grow, these dusty roads have seen us cry,
But we’ll keep singing our blues, until our dreams touch the sky.

Chorus:
Singing the Dusty Road Blues, under the silver moon,
Oh, this vacant bottle’s filling up, and it’ll be full soon.
This dusty road is our song, our truth, our life’s tune,
We are Vacant Bottle, and we’ll be known nationwide soon.
