SHOOTER JENNINGS: Waylon Albright “Shooter” Jennings is an American singer-songwriter active in the country music and Southern rock genres. In addition to releasing five albums of his own, Shooter is currently producing records for Hellbound Glory and Fifth on Floor, as well as Jason Boland (yes each of these talented acts have been a part of our Outlaw Snowdown lineup). Shooter also hosts a weekly radio show on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country, which is fitting since, as the only son of Outlaw legends Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, Shooter proves the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

MICKY & THE MOTORCARS: Led by frontman Micky Braun and his guitarist brother Gary, Micky and the Motorcars rolled out of the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho in a cloud of Americana dust. The sons of Western Swing musician Muzzie Braun, Micky and Gary, along with older brothers Cody and Willy (of the band Reckless Kelly) spent their childhood onstage. A decade into their tenure as MMC, the now Austin-based act takes the Motorcars brand of alt-country and rock on the road more than 200 days a year.

WHITEY MORGAN & THE 78′S: a foot-stompin’ Honky Tonk band from Flint, Michigan, Whitey and the boys haven’t re-invented the wheel, they just picked it up and started it rolling all over again. Whitey’s whiskey-tinged vocals, the 78’s boot tappin’ beats, all relentlessly stirring up dance floors everywhere they go. The band has opened for Bob Seger, Shooter Jennings and Hank Williams III and will be rocking lil’ ol’ Pagosa Springs this winter. For more on Whitey Morgan: whiteymorgan.com |

LYDIA LOVELESS: An Ohio farm-girl who’s done a lot of livin’ in her 22 years, Lydia Loveless’ music could be likened to a harvest of her experiences thus far. With country roots (her dad booked bands at the local honky tonk) and a rebellious streak (she was a fixture in Columbus’ underground punk scene by 14 ), Lydia comes armed with the ammunition to shoot to the top of your list of raw, honest and real music-makers. Her voice is powerful, the energy is high and the bottom line is… the girl rocks. Hard. For more on Lydia Loveless: lydialoveless.com |

FIFTH ON THE FLOOR:The band’s rowdy rock and roll is everything you’d expect from four Kentucky gentlemen. Elements of numerous roots styles show in the band’s music, but Fifth on the Floor’s live show, featuring Aaron “Laser” Graham, Jason Parsons, Matty Rodgers and Justin Wells, is undoubtedly a rock show. The ferocity of the band’s live performances combined with the strength of their collective song-writing on their upcoming record, make this foursome one to follow. The album, produced by Shooter Jennings, is due in late 2012. For more on Fifth on Floor: http://www.fifthonthefloor.com/ |

CHAD SULLINS AND THE LAST CALL COALITION: Chad Sullins met Josh Rutz (lead guitar), Jerry Stanley (bass) and Jeremy Clark (drums) who form the Last Call Coalition during his early days in Stillwater, OK and in 2008 set out to make their presence known on the live scene. A rock band that plays country music calls to mind the victorious days of Cross Canadian Ragweed, and similarly, Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition have been hard pressed to find a permanent home on the radio airwaves over the years, yet that has in no way impeded on their live show reputation that has taken precedence over everything else.

CAITLIN CANNON + THE ARTILLERY: Durango’s Caitlin Cannon, Crystal Wolfchild, Elizabeth Rioridan and Wellington Clark describe their sound as Dream-Popish Americana and that just sounded like too much fun for us to pass up. The girls and their Golden Age Hollywood harmonies meets 50′s sock hop meets Dolly Parton meets Spanish “Tarantino” style rhythms will be startin’ the party for us Friday night!

THE BROOKS-i BAND: Pagosa’s own Brooks Lindner, backed by Marcus Rivas (drums) and Jarret Heber (bass, vocals), describes the band’s sound as: “Bluesy, rocky, funky, songwritey, sexy, a little bit o’country, a lickle bit a da reggae—all played with energy and feeling—I call it rock-n-roll.” Brooks will also be emceeing the Outlaw Snowdown in its entirety. Boom. |
