Giovannie and the Hired Guns Quotes

Already tipped for one of Loudwire's 2021 Rock + Metal Songs You Might Have Missed (But Shouldn't) for the standout single "Ramon Ayala" and recently garnering placement on Amazon Music's 2022 Artists to Watch playlist, Giovannie and the Hired Guns have seen their star rise out of their Stephenville, Texas home base thanks to their thrilling live shows that are as likely to include just as much two-stepping as you'll find headbanging.

The band is Yanez on lead vocals, bassist Trejo, guitarists Carlos Villa and Jerrod Flusche, and drummer Milton Toles. Hired Guns bills itself as a throwback to the rock bands that were popular 20 or so years ago.

Yanez and the boys now have played to crowds in the thousands. He has shared stages with Kody West, an Outlaws & Legends act last spring, and Read Southall.

The biggest thrill? Opening ahead of Jason Aldean in 2019 to 36,000 at Globe Life Stadium in Arlington. -reporternew.com, -loudwire.com-
