BR549 (originally spelled BR5-49) is an American country music band founded in the mid-1990s in the city of Nashville, Tennessee. Their music, referred to as alternative country or neotraditional, contains elements of western swing and rockabilly. They eschew modern Top 40 pop-country for a more raw, honky-tonk sound, with songs about 50s pin-up/dominatrix Bettie Page and The Ramones. They took their name from a telephone number regularly used in a Junior Samples sketch on the television show, Hee Haw. Overall, the band has recorded six studio albums and two EPs, and has charted three singles on the Billboard country charts.
