Lance McDaniel (lead vocals, guitar), David Snell (backing vocals, bass), Theron Woods (backing vocals, guitar) Joe “Boogie” Simmons (backing vocals, keys) and Case Cooper (drums, percussion) started playing together as the ShotGunBillys in 2008. “We don’t get to play around Jonesboro much anymore,” said McDaniel. “We’re excited to come home to play for our fans.”
