The follow-up to SHOTGUN SAWYER‘s 2019 full-length “Bury The Hatchet”, new album “Shotgun Sawyer” will grip any blues and rock’n’roll fan with its sun-drenched riffs, bottleneck goodness, and soulful and gritty vocals. From electrifying stompers to languid and crossroads-worthy jams, frontman and guitarist Dylan Jarman offers a perfect soundtrack for the darkest days, with an addictive live jam feel oozing throughout its nine songs. This is modern crossroads blues with a true rock’n’roll spirit, one that will warm your heart and make for the perfect companion during life’s ups and downs, the Shotgun Sawyer way. Shotgun Sawyer is a three-piece blues and rock’n’roll band from the small town of Auburn, California. Growing up in the woods and down on the river, vocalist/guitarist Dylan Jarman, bassist Brett (The Butcher) Sanders, and original drummer David Lee absorbed deep, Americana roots from childhood. Growing up listening to rock’n’roll bands like Led Zeppelin, CCR, and the Allman Brothers and expanding out into the Deep Delta & Chicago Blues of Son House, Elmore James, and Howlin’ Wolf, Shotgun Sawyer combines all these influences and more into a raw, authentic, and explosive performance, night after night, and in the recording studio.
Signed to Ripple Music in 2019, Shotgun Sawyer has released two records to date: their riotous debut “Thunderchief” in 2016, and the sophomore full-length “Bury The Hatchet” in 2019. Having tirelessly toured the US West Coast from 2015 to 2020 (including a month-long campaign across Europe in 2018), Shotgun Sawyer took a break following COVID-19 shutdowns. With a 2020 return to Europe shelved, creative differences came to a head, and in 2021, original drummer David Lee left the band.
Now back in full swing with new drummer Cody Tarbell of Slow Season and Westing fame on board, Shotgun Sawyer is set to return in force with the release of their self-titled studio album on December 6th via Ripple Music. The album also features contributions from Patrick Hills (keys), Brian Souders (harmonica) and Jacob Hurst (waterphone).
