The Shootouts

The Shootouts are a high-energy country and Americana band based out of Akron, Ohio, known for their vibrant blend of traditional country, Western swing, and honky-tonk influences. Formed in 2016, the group quickly made a name for themselves with their crisp musicianship, tight harmonies, and nostalgic yet fresh sound. Fronted by Ryan Humbert and Emily Bates, The Shootouts have a knack for balancing heartfelt ballads with crowd-pleasing barn-burners, all while tipping their hats to the golden eras of country music.

The band has worked with some big names in the Americana and country scene, partnering with producers like Chuck Mead (of BR5-49 fame) and Ray Benson (of Asleep at the Wheel) on various projects. Their album "Stampede," released in 2023, features appearances from a handful of roots music heavyweights and showcases the group’s sharp songwriting and dynamic style. Whether playing at a small club or a major festival, The Shootouts deliver a lively, danceable set that's both a love letter to classic country and a testament to how the genre continues to evolve.
