The Shootouts
Show Sponsor:
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!
