The Shootouts are a refreshing and vibrant blend of classic H***y Tonk, Western Swing, and traditional Country. Onstage, the band shines bright—their live shows are upbeat, polished, and full of personality, turning every performance into a celebration of true Americana. The Shootouts are a must-see country band at this year's Middle Bass Music Fest on July 11th that Rolling Stone says are the “Perfect Rust Belt Country”.
