When the lockdown started, Sons of Guns needed a Plan B. You see—as luck would have it, March 12th 2020 was the scheduled release day of their 13-song LP Emerald Evergreen. The album was two years in the making, and the tour van was already gassed up. But along with every other working band and musician across the world, their ability to travel, rehearse, and play sweaty rock shows in front of shoulder-to-shoulder strangers and hand-in-hand friends had evaporated into thin air.

So after a few deep breaths and a few days to lick wounds and find new bearings, Sons of Guns set out to have the healthiest long-distance relationship wifi could buy. From four cramped rooms in four different nooks of the Pacific Northwest, the dudes just kept writing and collaborating; tossing new ideas across the pixel-waves, adding layers to one another’s seedling riffs, lines, and verses. A few dozen Zoom calls and a few hundred file uploads later, more than an album’s-worth of brand new songs had been crafted. 

However, since their latest full-length album Emerald Evergreen hadn’t even experienced the sticky surface of a merch table in a dive bar or the back of a concert hall, it felt time to sketch a new playbook for these uniquely collaborative songs during this uniquely lonesome-yet-unified time in history. 

 So now in 2021 (and beyond…?), Sons of Guns meets up in a variety of rad recording studios to work with some of the Northwest’s finest engineers and producers, and continue to release music from these collaborative sessions.
As always, shows are ALL AGES and no cover charge.
