Gunshine | 9PM
Hailing from the panhandle of Florida, Gunshine offers a breath of fresh air to the rock scene. A musical love child conceived during the pandemic, Gunshine was birthed by Daytona Beach native and New Years Day ax man Austin Ingerman, who, as a result of the world shutting down, suddenly found himself off the road and eager to carry out his vision of forming a fresh, edgy rock n' roll band. The vision was to create songs that had attitude, were melodic/catchy, and most importantly written very organically. "I'll hear vocal melodies and guitar riffs in my head, and let things flow very naturally and artistically. We just write what comes out, and never try to sound a certain way or let external factors influence our writing in any way" says Ingerman.

After an exhaustive search, Jordan Benson, distant cousin to Elvis Presley, became the band’s singer and added a dose of charisma and showmanship that has become a staple of Gunshine’s live shows. Gunshine recorded their debut album, and follow up EP in Las Vegas with producer/engineer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake, Lynchmob, Prong) who is an integral part of the sonic translation of the band.

Together, this group lays down face-melting guitar solos, catchy riffs, soaring vocals and a lethal rhythm section which all come together to create a sonic boom harkening back to a time when music was raw, blisteringly energetic, and loud. In a world where it is commonplace to play it safe, Gunshine throws the rule book out and plays it straight from the heart, no tricks, no frills, no BS. This is rock-n-roll, the kind you’ve been missing.


Cody Parks And The Dirty South | 7PM
They aren’t your typical Nashvilly country act. Singer/songwriter Cody Parks always knew his vision could become a reality with the right players who shared his passion. Then in 2019, Cody Parks and The Dirty South was formed. They can better be described as “Def Leppard on cornbread,” blending their country roots with their love for 80’s and 90’s metal… coining their own genre, “Country Metal.” Influenced by the likes of Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Pantera, the Dirty South’s heavy hitting riffs and breakdowns bring an element to country music that turns Nashville’s Music Row into L.A.’s Sunset Strip! Their covers EP titled, “Smothered & Covered,” had singles chart at #2 and #7 on iTunes for multiple weeks. Be on the lookout for their new EP, “Country Metal, Vol. 1, “and find them “plowin’ through” a city near you in 2025. Now… CRANK UP THE COUNTRY METAL!


The ShotGunBillys | 2PM
The ShotGunBillys are a high-energy southern rock band that blends Memphis blues with a steady Arkansas country handshake. The band hails from the outskirts of Memphis, Tennessee. They were nurtured by the sounds that made Memphis great but have carved a distinct sound that blends it all.

We have played here for several years as the house band, and everyone at Kickstands has become family to us! We look forward to playing music and partying with all the Kickstands Krazies!
