FLOYDFEST, HOXEYVILLE, BRISTOL RHYTHM & ROOTS REUNION AMONG LIST OF MAINSTAGE FESTIVAL APPEARANCES
2ND NIGHT ADDED FOR THE ORANGE PEEL (ASHEVILLE, NC) JUNE 3
[Gibson’s] voice is filled with the ache that has fueled countless songs, and it was made to fill dark honky tonks
where people want to dance. – Glide Magazine
An album of the year candidate – or should be. “49 Winchester III” brands as a soulful exorcism. Part country, part rock and soul, it’s substance mined deeply from the darkest corners of the heart. – Bristol Herald Courier
49 Winchester serves it up greasy; whether it’s Southern fried rock, honky tonk country, sentimental moments tickling the fringes of Americana, or a version of soul that takes all of those influences and stews them. It’s always Southern,
but the variety of flavors you’re served keeps you on your toes. – Saving Country Music
If you’re still sleeping on 49 Winchester, it’s time to wake your a** up. – Whiskey Riff

Tomorrow, alt-country soul outfit 49 Winchester will embark on a strapping redemption tour in celebration of their illustrious 2020 release, III. The Virginia based stalwarts soared to new heights this year with the launch of their critically acclaimed third studio album, which ranked on multiple end of year charts including WNRN’s Top 100 Albums of 2020, Saving Country Music’s Most Essential Albums of 2020 and has been lauded by American Songwriter as “a confident collection that gives voice to the band’s pure, unfettered intents” and asserted as an “album of the year candidate” by Bristol Herald-Courier.
The five piece cast of Appalachian mainstays, led by singer/songwriter Isaac Gibson (whose commanding presence and knack for spearing one-liners straight to the gut has been likened to such Americana greats as Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell and Tyler Childers), will treat new fans and longtime devotees alike to a hardy set of raucous sing-alongs, soul-stirring ballads, and dance-worthy ditties this summer. Highlights include a two night stop in Asheville, NC at the iconic Orange Peel, the first show of which sold out in just 72 hours, the band’s 3rd & Lindsley debut in Nashville, TN, and a bevy of festival appearances including mainstage plays at FloydFest (Floyd, VA), Hoxeyville (Wellston, MI), Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion (Bristol, TN/VA), and headlining sets at Alley Fest (Paintsville, KY) and Summer Sundown (Effingham, IL). A complete list of tour dates is below.
With eyes set on a hopeful future, 49 Winchester looks forward to catapulting back on the road with a new album (and plenty of quarantine chronicles) in tow. For more information including ticket links and venue safety policies, visit www.49winchester.com.
