Six Gun Bio
Based out of Southwest Virginia, Six Gun is a Southern/ Blues Rock band that delivers the true spirit of legendary bands Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackberry Smoke, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty, and many more. While taking great pride in covering the songs with little to no improvisation, paying homage to the iconic bands who originally wrote, and recorded them, Six Gun is also proud of the original material that is being written, recorded, and released.
