<p>Welcome to episode #112 of The Troubadour.</p> <p>We’ve got a great episode for you today featuring Ryan Humbert and Emily Bates of a great band I’ve become a huge fan of called The Shootouts.</p> <p>The Shootouts can be described and equal parts vintage Nashville and Texas Swing with a healthy helping of Bakersfield bravado.</p> <p>Their 2019 debut album, Quick Draw, was recently followed up by their newest record, Bullseye, produced by former BR-549 frontman, Chuck Mead. </p> <p>If you are a fan of good lyrics and strong stage presence, Humbert won’t let you down as the frontman of the group.  Add in the harmony vocals of Bates along with a rhythm section made up of Ryan McDermott on the bass and Dylan Gomez on the drum kit.  Finally, if you are a fan of incredible guitar work like I am, The Shootouts lead guitarist Brian Poston just might leave you a bit spellbound.  I immediately heard similarities in Brian’s playing to my favorite guitarist and past guest on the podcast, The Chicken Pickin’ King, Johnny Hiland.</p> <p>You can find out more at <a href= "http://www.shootoutsmusic.com">www.shootoutsmusic.com</a>, including all their social links.  And for you fans of vinyl out there, this group has some of the coolest vinyl record designs we’ve ever seen.</p> <p>So here comes episode #112 of the podcast with Ryan Humbert and Emily Bates of The Shootouts! </p> <p><strong><em>How YOU can support the podcast!</em></strong></p> <p>If you’re interested in supporting the podcast and helping us <a href= "http://www.thetroubadourpodcast.com/welcome-to-our-free-carly-campaign/"> FREE CARLY</a> from the bondage of editing every episode <a href= "http://www.thetroubadourpodcast.com/welcome-to-our-free-carly-campaign/"> CLICK HERE</a> and help us hand off this part of the process to a third party!</p> <p>There’s another way to support the podcast AND ALSO earn some free swag in the process.  <a href= "http://www.thetroubadourpodcast.com/heres-your-way-to-support-the-troubadour-podcast/"> CLICK HERE</a> to check it out.<
