BISHOP GUNN is a 4-piece blues Americana rock and roll country band from Natchez, Mississippi. It consists of Travis McCready (vocals/guitar/harmonica), Ben Lewis (bass/ backing vocals), Burne Sharpe (drums/ backing vocals) and Drew Smithers (Lead guitar/ backing vocals). BISHOP GUNN are influenced by artists such as Wilson Pickett, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and SOUNDGARDEN. The band are named after a tombstone they saw in Natchez, that was over the resting place of the sixth Bishop of Natchez, John Edward Gunn.
BISHOP GUNN plays Southern-rock that really show case that they are proud of their roots. Their single release, “Alabama”, is a marvelous piece full of swampy haunting chord, gospel-influenced vocal hooks. The tune is taken from the bands latest album “Natchez”, after the band’s Mississippi hometown. An album with stomping swampy blues and electrified soul. enjoy!
