Smokin' Armadillos is an American country music group formed in Bakersfield, California in 1992. It is composed of Rick Russell (lead vocals), Josh Graham (guitar, vocals), Scott Meeks (guitar, vocals), Jason Theiste (fiddle, mandolin), Aaron Casida (bass guitar, vocals), and Darrin Kirkindoll (drums).

As an independent act, they sold over 150,000 copies of their first EP, Out Of The Burrow, eventually earning them a record deal with MCG/Curb Records in 1994.

Their highest charting single, "Let Your Heart Lead Your Mind," peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 1996; it was included on their self-titled debut album, issued that year on MCG/Curb Records.

In 2012, Graham and Russell founded a new duo called Lucky Ned Pepper.

August 9, 2017, the band announced via Facebook a new single, which will be released on September 25, as well as an Indiegogo campaign which will allow the band to promote and distribute CD singles to country stations around the country.
