DESCRIPTION:
All 3 raised in the Church of Christ, all 3 sweethearts of Bourbon. Reckon that pretty much covers it. More you say? Ok, a preacher's daughter, an elder's daughter, and a politician's daughter walk into a bar...and bring down the house! Shotgun Oakley is comprised of Nashville singer/songwriters Ashley McBryde, Steff Mahan, & Cheley Tackett. Heretofore referred to as: Ashley Oakley, Steffy Oakley...you get the idea. Between them, there's a Tennessee State champion of the Colgate Country Showdown, a Merlefest songwriting winner, a Kerrville New Folk finalist, and an Independent Acoustic Music Awards finalist. As solo artists, they've slung their guitars & stomped their boots sharing the stage with or opening for acts that include the Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin, 10,000 Maniacs, Kathy Mattea, Chris Young, Joe Diffie, Chris Cagle, Beth Hart, America, and more. Collectively, you get whiskey washed, sweet rockin', acoustic southern country soul ablaze in three part harmony. Think a hint of Wynonna, a splash of Linda Ronstadt, and mix in a kiss from Dolly with original songs regarding love & killin' and you're starting to get a picture of Shotgun Oakley.
