Union Guns is a country steam roller, leaving the crowd wondering what just ran them over. Offering an eclectic country mix, this band of gifted musicians are true-blue country boys with a pop edge. Comprised of mostly West Michigan natives, Union Guns brings some heavy hitters to the line up.
Though they had not yet compiled the band line up, they were determined to open for Jamey Johnson at, Grand Rapids venue, the Intersection. Trusting their reputation and determination, the Intersection’s booking agent allowed Union Guns the opening slot. In less than three months, Union Guns formed and produced eight original songs for the half hour slot. Selling 42 of the 50 demo CD’s, the show proved to be an unbelievably successful beginning.
Union Guns’ songs are a well-rounded mix of blue collar attitude. Their unique sound flows from the member’s influences, half of the band come from a rock background while the other half is country born and raised.
Overall, Union Guns brings beer-drinkin’ attitude to the stage mixed with pop sensibility, but in the end it’s all just in your face country!
