The Gunslingers have gone on to perform & captivate audiences not only at major festivals but local and cause-driven events such as #AutismSpeaks, #SaratogaWarhorse, #FirstHOOAHMN organizations while exciting honkytonks across the Midwest/South/East Coast.

The Gunslingers released their first single to Country Radio across the Midwest within 14 months of their first show.

Their Pass a Beer EP, with the new Midwestern Girls single, propelled them into the Top 40.

Their next radio single MIDWESTERN GIRLS put them in the Top 30 on the Independent Country US Charts. The band also was named a Top 100 Country Band nationally by ReverbNation.

A follow up LP (to be recorded this winter) includes collaboration efforts with Del Gray of Little Texas in Nashville.

Midwestern Country with a Southern Rock Edge. Some call it Heartland Rock. We just call it home.
