About this event
Giovannie and The Hired Guns have built a devoted following by blending alt-metal, Red Dirt country, Latin influences, Americana, and rock into a genre-defying sound that has taken them from Texas honky-tonks to major festivals and arenas nationwide. Since forming in 2015, the band has achieved major milestones, including a No. 1 hit with "Ramon Ayala" and the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Artist in Alternative & Rock. Their fourth album, Quitter, is their most personal release yet, exploring themes of addiction, loss, mental health, self-doubt, and hope through emotionally honest songwriting and powerful performances. Produced by Johnny K, the album balances hard-hitting rock anthems with melodic, genre-crossing tracks that showcase the band's musical versatility and fearless creativity. Frontman Giovannie Yanez drew from deeply personal experiences, using the album as both a form of healing and a message of resilience for listeners facing their own struggles. Despite its heavier themes, Quitter also captures the band's energetic, party-driven spirit and commitment to creating music that is both fun and meaningful. Through their authentic storytelling and electrifying live performances, Giovannie and The Hired Guns continue to connect with fans from all backgrounds while refusing to be defined by any single genre.
