Shotgun Party puts on a truly American music show. They swing early jazz right on into dance hall country… with rapturous results. The majority of songs are original, with melodies and lyrics that share stories: urban, bucolic, lively and lonesome. Christopher Crepps (formerly of the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, and Thelonious Monk disciple) keeps it real, hot and low on the upright bass; Katy Rose Cox (formerly of Uncle F*cker, Brooklyn Brown Grass, & the Maybelles) roars delightful on the fiddle; and introducing Jenny Parrott who sings and plays guitar as one who grew up seaside. From all three coasts (New England, California, and Texas) this trio scours through and plays with all the rhythms, modes and melodies this continent has to offer, with a twinge of bizarreness that accommodates any wide-open journey.

"Two females and one bass slappin man comprise the old time pickin band Shotgun Party! Fantastic musicians that pull you in with their old time style and damm sexy vocals!" -Smooth and Demented at KAOS Radio

"Now that's what I like to hear!" - Wayne Hancock

"Invite me to the party! Enthusiastic debut featuring hayride sounding violin and standup bass supporting jubilant vocals. 8 shots." -Daisy Riprock of Austin Daze

"For a healthy dose of dance hall country mixed with early jazz, turn to the melodic sounds of Shotgun Party. Guitar, stand up bass and fiddle, plus great vocals, are all they need to get the crowd going. This Austin trio provides the music to dance to!" - Laurie Gallardo of KUT's "Austin Music Minute"
