The Shootouts' Quick Draw blends high-energy honky-tonk, traditional country, and Americana, evoking the spirit of country music’s golden era while offering a fresh take that will resonate with fans old and new.
The Shootouts’ debut album Quick Draw is a seamless fusion of high-energy honky-tonk, traditional country, and a sprinkling of Americana and western swing. With a sound that recalls the smooth crooning of Roy Orbison and the big-band swagger of Bob Wills, the band draw on the rich musical landscapes of Nashville, Texas, and California during country music's golden era.
Evoking the barn-burning energy of Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives and the sharp twang of Dwight Yoakam, Quick Draw offers a refreshing nod to the past while maintaining its own fresh identity. Hailing from Akron, Ohio, the Shootouts were born from a shared passion for authentic, heartfelt country music, when founding members Ryan Humbert and Brian Poston first connected over their love for the genre. The result is a debut that feels both timeless and immediate, with a sound that will resonate with fans of classic country and modern honky-tonk alike.
