But some shows are just different. That will be the case when 49 Winchester opens for the Turnpike Troubadours on July 30 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on July 30. The sold-out show will be 49 Winchester’s first on the Mother Church stage – an honor no matter how you get there.

On the edge of Russell County, Virginia, which sits at the crossroads between Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and North Carolina, 49 Winchester is truly the local band that’s been doing good. Hailing from the unincorporated community of Castlewood (pop. 2000), the core of the band grew up in the same small neighborhood and have been chasing the wild dream of becoming rock stars ever since. Lo and behold they have now called their own bluff and done it, being signed to New West Records, playing major festivals and being named one of the hottest bands in indie country and roots music right now. , including recently by Luke Combs.
The chemistry of this band, the exuberance and contagion of their live performances, and the local hero aspect of their story make you want to cheer them on even more. 49 Winchester is fun to cheer on. But really, it’s vocalist and guitarist Isaac Gibson’s effortless vocals that make 49 Winchester so much more than just a cool country band.
