Six Gun Rebels History Prologue:

It’s important to understand that collaborative artistic endeavors involve a lot of subjective creative experiences, tastes and opinions. We respect all current and past members of the band and thank them for their efforts in helping propel us on this journey. Video clips throughout the history of the band are readily available using the YouTube link top right of each page.

Forming a band during the worst of the COVID era had its challenges, but it gave the band members something to look forward to each week. We would have to juggle schedules as members and their families would be impacted by the virus, but the foundation of the band would get its start. The vocal approach to Paul Rogers would prove a poor fit to Martin’s high pitched vocal sound and he would leave the project in late 2019. A well timed, accidental cellphone butt-dial would result in the second major iteration of the project, bringing in vocalist Mike Wiredu, and shortly after that, bassist/vocalist Karl Roos.

This lineup, and the waning of the pandemic, would eventually be brought to the stage, performing the first Six Gun Rebels concert, playing for the Brownsville Marina Yacht Club’s 2021 Halloween Party with this set list:

Following the Halloween gig, Barry would leave the band due to creative differences, with Dave Hawkins occupying the lead guitar spot for a couple months. Six Gun Rebels would play their second gig, but without Mike Thompson, who unfortunately, was traveling for his day job:

This lineup would only last through one gig, April 1st 2022, as Mike Wiredu and Mike Thompson would leave for personal and creative reasons shortly after that concert. We would reinvent ouselves into a four-piece. Enter, former “Cat Puncher” frontman, Mark Loudermilk.

The Mark Loudermilk era would come to an end, sadly, in January of 2023 due to Mark being transferred out of state for work for several months. In the lead up to Mark’s announced departure, a chance meeting between drummer Brent Woolard and vocalist Dan Grant would reconstitute the band:

In May of 2023, Tim McGovern and Dan Grant would depart the band, and with thier exit, we would bring in guitarist/keyboard player Paul Racey and vocalist/keyboard player Melissa Kittrell.
