Everyone had a great time!
Country Band
We were honored and overjoyed to have Six Sons of a Gun play our dream Texas wedding at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center last month. My husband and I were introduced to the band when we heard them play a show in downtown Austin. We loved listening to all our favorite country songs from our childhood so we went up to them after to ask for their card to play at our wedding. From the moment we began working with the band, we felt so cared for. James was so attentive and always answered emails promptly, met us at the venue to do a walkthrough and went above and beyond the night of to ensure everything ran smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Our guests loved the music so much, and I got so many compliments on them after. We recommend them to any and all future brides or anyone looking for a fun band to play their event! They are extremely talented and true pros.

James and his band were amazing at our April wedding. We rented a historic dancehall and they made it feel incredible the whole night. Customized ceremony playlists, great cocktail hours music, and the full six-piece set for the dancing. Great to work with, very professional, great stage presence. Highly recommend!

Response from Six Sons of a Gun:
Thank you for the kind words Sarah! We had a great time playing for the residence at your facility. It was a great way for us to kick off 2023. We look forward to another opportunity to bring our music to such a warm and inviting group of people.
This band is great!!! They played a lot of great covers of popular songs that got everyone up and dancing. I had a great time hearing them play.

We absolutely loved Six Sons of a Gun. They interacted with the crowd, had a great set up and music was perfect. Definitely suggest having them to anybody looking for a great country/western band.
We hired Six Sons of a Gun to play for our parents 60th anniversary party. They did a fantastic job! They arrived when they said they would and played outside in the heat for 3 hours. Played the older country tunes that we had requested. Just wish we could have had cooler weather so we could have danced more!

Dani,
Thanks so much for the review. We had a great time. We've been playing outdoor gigs all summer, so it was par for the course. You have an amazing property, the chop beef sandwiches were amazing!
Cheers!

The band was great! Arrived on time and put on a great show, everyone enjoyed them. JD was a quick and responsive communicator which is always a great quality I look for when booking talent. This won't be the last time we have them in our city! I recommend you book them

Levallois,
Thanks for the kind words. Shout out to Lady Shacklin who played right before us. The whole set up was great. Your MC was awesome. We had a lot of fun.
JD
JD and the Band were absolutely amazing. We had our event at Stubb's BBQ and Six Sons of a Gun really brought the fun! They played the main stage and filled the entire venue with incredible music. Our guests absolutely loved them!
In addition to being a fabulous country western band, I also have to add the working with JD was awesome. He was prompt and professional and I instantly knew that I had selected the right band. Our event was a corporate networking party and JD understood that our guests needed to be able to chat and catch up with each other without having to yell to be heard. He kept the sound at the perfect level and the song selection was outstanding!
I cannot recommend Six Sons of a Gun enough! From our first contact to the post-event round up every interaction was perfect!

Response from Six Sons of a Gun:
Allison,
Thank you for the review and the kind words. It was great working with your team. The production crew at Stubbs was outstanding. It was a real treat to play the main stage. We look forward to working with you in the future!
Very professional, easy to schedule, and rocked out. Our only regret is they had to leave.

Nothing but a party!!
Six Sons of a Gun put on an incredible show for our wedding. Our guests raved about the dance party and how interactive the musicians were. I was very adamant on not having any band equipment at the ceremony site (which would then be flipped into the band stage) and James made sure to fill my request and was able to successfully transform the site much quicker than it normally takes. They even provided a PA system for our wedding party intro and first dances. If there were any bumps along the way they went completely unnoticed, as James and his band were easily able to adapt. I would highly recommend Six Sons of a Gun to provide entertainment at your next event!

Get ready to dance the night away to their wide variety of music. Everything from classic country, today's country and today's hits. Fun and charismatic group to play for any occasion! I will definitely be booking them again!!

I had James and his boys play at my 50th birthday party and they smashed it...after 6 months of not playing any gigs (hello COVID) they played a long set list which EVERYONE spoke about. It was a great vibe that night and their music was the glue which held it all together. Thank you James and 6 SONS!

We always appreciate and love having Six Sons of a Gun out to play at our local hangout. Following the great pandemic, our business was unsure of what live music would look like in the aftermath. I am pleased and happy to say that with these guys we had a little taste of "the before times". The musical talent and energy of Six Sons of a Gun is always impressive and surpasses our expectations. If you are looking for a great band to play for your upcoming event, I highly recommend that you look no further. These guys are sure to liven up any event or fulfill any live music needs. Dust off your dancing shoes and prepare for a good damn time.

We had Six Sons of a Gun perform for my husband's birthday. He saw this band perform at the Austin Rodeo at the Travis County Sheriff's BBQ Tent. They put on a great show and play the best music. JD, the band leader is great to work with. They were on time and sounded great. We got lots of complements from our friends about the band and how much they liked them. They put on a great show.

About
The name "Six Sons of a Gun" was inspired by Roger Miller's song "Dang Me," cleverly playing on the lyric "Well, I'm seventh out of seven sons, my pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun." For over 15 years, our band has been a fixture in central Texas, featuring talented musicians with a history on iconic stages like the Armadillo Headquarters, The Continental Club, and even the Kennedy Center in DC.
Our primary focus is on enjoying the music. We believe that when we're having fun, it becomes infectious for our audience. We take pride in our event awareness, intuitively knowing when to be the background band playing great drinking songs and when to step into the spotlight, energizing the show and enticing people onto the dance floor. Egos are left at the door as we strive to contribute to the success of your event, making it not only amazing but also unforgettable.
