Listening to the sounds of older generations, Cameron Dettman absorbed musical tastes from the eras of bell bottoms, floral patterns, wah pedals & an abundance of male falsetto. His eclectic musical influences make for a truly unique style all his own. Taking the smooth sounds of 70’s soul legends and magically combining them with modern pop sounds like Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars, Dettman creates a beautiful representation of “old school meets new school”. Dettman also mines from influences of soul, funk, classic rock, country & blues.

Cameron Dettman is a solo looping performer who sings and plays guitar.

Despite forming in 2020, this Las Vegas quintet has already accumulated 1.5 million online views, just by being themselves. The five's unprecedented musicianship has propelled them to perform at the Life is Beautiful festival (Green Day, Billie Eilish) and release their debut studio LP, One Year Later. The record boasts pristine production, buttery vocals, incomparable professionalism, and an incredible spectrum of genre (funk, Americana, soul).

Highly skilled Soul/funk/rock/pop band.

Chicago-based rock band Microcosms is fuzzy, punky, and punchy. Their songs rollick with a sense of urgency as they channel the introspective thoughts of a frustrated but optimistic person trying to navigate an increasingly delusional world. Andrew Tschiltsch (vox, guitar) started the band in 2015 alongside Bryan Emer, whose delightfully heavy yet funky bass lines dance with the crunchy lead guitar. Jered Piepenbrink’s vibrant drumming drives the heartbeat of every song, while Ronn Richardson uses guitars and keys to provide that sweet sweet ear candy.

Fuzzy, Punky, Punchy Music for the Revolution. Can do originals or cover sets!

Katrina Cain's music has been described as everything from melancholy pop, to country, to folk. She is most well known for her standout performances on Season 15 of NBC's The Voice, beginning with her haunting arrangement of Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon". 

The Austin-based songstress’s music brings the listener on a journey that breaks the barriers of genre: Sweetened pop sounds and luscious dreamscapes, swinging between soul breaking singer-songwriter ballads, and country pop anthems. In her quietest moments, Cain’s pop sensibilities make room for her authentic tales of Americana. Never one to skimp on lyric, her artful storytelling bears more of the human experience than just a heartbreak like the one before.

Her favorite covers to perform include repertoire from Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Elvis, Turnpike Troubadours, Kacey Musgraves, Deanna Carter, John Denver, Cyndi Lauper, The Beatles, and more.

Americana, Folk, Country, Pop, Rock - just good songs.

Bilingual 2-time Grammy nominee Haydn Vitera can perform acoustic solo to full band in a broad range of genres. He is as comfortable singing a beautiful Spanish-language ballad as he is belting out an 80s rock classic or a George Strait honky-tonk hit.  He is just as versatile on violin whether it’s classic country fiddle, pop with a D or shredding hard rock on his 7-string electric Viper. 

Career highlights include featured performances with King Of Country George Strait and the iconic Stevie Wonder.

I recently hired Gabino joining one of my events to preform for a crowd of 250 people. I can not say enough wonderful things about Gabino, his professionalism and mostly his talent! He painted two pieces for us and while he performed, I was torn between watching him and watching the crowd watching him as everyone was completely memorized. With his combination of high energy music, talent and out going personality, Gabino was the perfect entertainer for this yearly corporate event. The paintings were auctioned off at the end of the night for a charity fundraiser and they raised $11,500 in a high energy, well fought bidding war. I highly recommend Gabino for any event and look forward to using him again in the future! Carol H

Played for one of our Member parties and were great. Very professional and kept the crowd engaged.
Will definitely book them again!!!

Lisa Coffman

We always appreciate and love having Six Sons of a Gun out to play at our local hangout. Following the great pandemic, our business was unsure of what live music would look like in the aftermath. I am pleased and happy to say that with these guys we had a little taste of "the before times". The musical talent and energy of Six Sons of a Gun is always impressive and surpasses our expectations. If you are looking for a great band to play for your upcoming event, I highly recommend that you look no further. These guys are sure to liven up any event or fulfill any live music needs. Dust off your dancing shoes and prepare for a good damn time.

I had James and his boys play at my 50th birthday party and they smashed it...after 6 months of not playing any gigs (hello COVID) they played a long set list which EVERYONE spoke about. It was a great vibe that night and their music was the glue which held it all together. Thank you James and 6 SONS!

John Bacon

Get ready to dance the night away to their wide variety of music. Everything from classic country, today's country and today's hits. Fun and charismatic group to play for any occasion! I will definitely be booking them again!!

Jessie Garcia

JD and the Band were absolutely amazing. We had our event at Stubb's BBQ and Six Sons of a Gun really brought the fun! They played the main stage and filled the entire venue with incredible music. Our guests absolutely loved them!
In addition to being a fabulous country western band, I also have to add the working with JD was awesome. He was prompt and professional and I instantly knew that I had selected the right band. Our event was a corporate networking party and JD understood that our guests needed to be able to chat and catch up with each other without having to yell to be heard. He kept the sound at the perfect level and the song selection was outstanding!
I cannot recommend Six Sons of a Gun enough! From our first contact to the post-event round up every interaction was perfect!

Allison Rpetto

This band was terrific! Everyone loved them and the music list was spot on for our event! Thank you for working with me on the song list and for being fantastic!

Teresa Aegerter

We hired Six Sons of a Gun to play for our parents 60th anniversary party. They did a fantastic job! They arrived when they said they would and played outside in the heat for 3 hours. Played the older country tunes that we had requested. Just wish we could have had cooler weather so we could have danced more!
