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
Timmy Lee, rhythm guitar and vocals, and Frank Pop, bass, played together in Grand Rapids-based band Branded for nearly three years, focusing on original music. After the disbanding of Branded, Frank realized his ideal band would center around Timmy Lee’s deep country voice.
Though they had not yet compiled the band line up, Frank was determined to open for Jamey Johnson at,
Recently recruited drummer Kevin Conway ,former Branded guitarist Kent Wellhoff, both have deep roots in the country music scene and lend to the original sound that is Union Guns.
Union Guns’ songs are a well-rounded mix of blue collar attitude with the pop country found in artists such as Jason Aldean or Cross Canadian Ragweed. Their unique sound flows from the member’s influences, half of the band come from an alt-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!
