The Shootouts
2023 was a banner year for The Shootouts. Their album “Stampede” dropped on February 24, 2023 and was named by Saving Country Music as one of the most ANTICIPATED ALBUMS OF 2023. The band was also named one of Nashville Scene’s Country Music Almanac 2023 ARTISTS TO WATCH.
Since then, the album has amassed considerable success for the band, including…
#4 – Americana Album Chart (April 4, 2023 – Top ten for over 13 weeks straight!)
#24 – Americana Album Chart for all of 2023
#1 – Alt-Country Specialty Chart (Feb. 21, 2023 – from #56 to #1 in one week – and again on March 29 and April 12, 2023)
The Shootouts made their GRAND OLE OPRY debut on February 24, 2023, with follow-up Opry performances July 23, 2023, December 30, 2023 and January 26, 2024!
The Shootouts have been featured by The Boot, Wide Open Country, No Depression, Sirius XM Outlaw Country, Saving Country Music, Holler, Glide Magazine, Nashville Scene, and more. The band was also nominated for Best Honky Tonk Group at the 2020, 2023 and 2024 Ameripolitan Music Awards!
The Shootouts racked up nearly 100 performances in 24 states for 2023, including: The Grand Ole Opry, SXSW (Official Showcase), Eddie’s Attic, Old Quarter Cafe, AmericanaFest (Official Showcase), Ray Benson’s Annual Birthday Bash w/ Asleep at the Wheel, Robert’s Western World, The Maverik Center with Chris Isaak, and many, many more.
The band is currently in the middle of finishing up their next album, “Switchback,” to be released in early 2025. The album is being produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Lake Street Dive, Rodney Crowell, Bahamas) and features special guests Sam Bush, Mickey Raphael — and more surprise guests to be announced soon.
