The Six Shot Revival
VETS ROCK is proud to announce that The Six Shot Revival has joined the ranks of outstanding musicians who support the cause and mission of VETS ROCK!
Members: Jon Brown (Guitar/Vocals), Marc Phillips (Vocals), Brandon Purinton (Drums), Steven Morrison (Bass/Vocals)
Band Bio: Guitarist Jon Brown as The Riff King, and if anything defines the Six Shot Revival sound it’s Jon’s blazing hypnotic figures. The Kentucky-born guitarist (and professional luthier) has taken an unlikely path toward his band’s exercise in damnation. “My Dad is a jazz trumpet player,” he confides. “All I heard was Miles Davis growing up.” Jon got into
British Metal when he was a kid: Priest, Sabbath, Zeppelin. You can guess what happened next, or maybe not: “I’m a huge fan of old country music and country guitar players. That’s where the whole Southern thing we do comes from.” (He embellishes several cuts on Greatest Hits with his standup lap steel in Hawaiian Slack Key tuning.)
As for drummer Brandon Purinton, before his Six Shot deviation, he was a classically trained pianist who played drums in the jazz band at Clayton State College. Bassist Steve Morrison is a graduate of Full Sail Recording Academy. In 2008, Steve joined the staff at Southern Tracks Studios, eventually assuming the position of Chief Engineer. How did all this academic pursuit and professional experience help produce the raunchy explosion that is Six Shot Revival? Jon: “We looked around at what’s not being done and said ‘Hey, this is what we grew up liking.’ ”
Greatest Hits,
Vol. 1 was produced and engineered by Steve Morrison and Tom Tapley at Atlanta’s legendary Southern Tracks Studios. Tom and Steve have worked on albums by Mastodon, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen and Sugarland. Six Shot has opened for
national acts Buck Cherry, HellYeah, The Damned Things, Nashville Pussy, The Gracious Few and Amercian Bang. The CD Release bash for Greatest Hits Volume 1 became an extra-special event when they were joined on a few songs by Bob Burns, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s original drummer from Pronounced and Second Helping.
In 2010, they put out an EP, Rebel Music, that suggested much of what was to come. Looking to the future, Marc reveals they already have seven new ones in the works including their versions of a Robert Johnson song and an early Skynyrd track, “Mississippi Kid”.
They are rumored to be working on an ambitious rock-opera called Faust, Part 3 set in a small town south of Atlanta, featuring a Foghorn Leghorn as the ghost of Goethe.
To date, in personal appearance, Six Shot has resisted the call for modern styling products, so expect perspiration to accompany their unhinged live presentation, which includes nothing that could be called a ballad. While he can’t be said to have “settled down,” Marc does own four Chihuahuas and a pit bull, who is every bit the small ones’ equal measure. Of course, the group remains locked in a battle of wits with Satan. They continue to be hounded day and night by the Man, seemingly without end. With any sense, they could start fearing God around Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, but, for the present moment, come cleanse your sins in the river of the WHISKEY FUELED APOCALYPSE that is Six Shot Revival!
