Smokin Gunz – 29 Years of Raising Hell & Packing Dance Floors
For 29 years, Smokin Gunz has been tearing up stages, cranking out hit after hit, and turning every bar, festival, and honky-tonk into a full-blown party.
Straight outta the Chicago country scene, these guys don’t just play music — they bring the energy. From today’s hottest country bangers to the classics everybody knows, Smokin Gunz keeps boots stompin’, drinks flowin’, and the dance floor slammed from the first note to last call.
Holding down the groove is Artie Specht on bass, driving the heartbeat of every song. On guitar and vocals, Bryan Krall brings the fire and edge, while Jim Banke leads the charge with powerhouse vocals that keeps the crowd locked in all night. Behind the kit, Robert Broz brings thunder on drums, keeping the whole machine running loud and tight.
We’re talkin’ line dancers, two-steppers, sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs anthems, and a crowd that never wants the night to end. Add in killer musicianship, tight vocals, and a “take no prisoners” live show, and you’ve got one of the Midwest’s most battle-tested country bands.
29 years, thousands of shows, and still goin’ full throttle.
If you’re lookin’ for a chill night… this ain’t it.
If you’re ready to party… load up and let’s go. 🔥
