49 Winchester

Alt-country soul from the heart of Appalachia in Russell County, VA. 49 Winchester made their start as an acoustic folk-trio in the months after high school and was well received into the region’s strong culture of grassroots music. They have since carved out a name for themselves, delivering the poetically straightforward songs of singer & guitarist Isaac Gibson in a powerful electric live show.

"In many ways, 49 Winchester, the nom de plume of singer/songwriter/guitarist Isaac Gibson, could be considered your stereotypical gruff and gritty homegrown troubadour. Over the course of the past six years, Gibson and his compatriots have made it a point to keep to the basics, be it a blazing combination of drive and defiance, or tears-in-their-beers balladry flush with seething emotion. That’s especially true on the band’s latest outing III, a confident collection that gives voice to the band’s pure, unfettered intents." - American Songwriter
