Biography
In a time when it’s altogether too easy to fabricate a musical identity, Trickshooter Social Club guns for the opposite. For a band intentionally steeped in authenticity, the realization of their own goals came true when a fan approached them after their set and said simply: “That was the truth.”
Starkly genuine and madly organic, the Chicago eight-piece makes it their mission to make your nights wild and hopeful, full of sweating and dancing, and underscored by that which makes the band real: full-bodied guitars, rollicking vocals, and a sense of spirited escapism.
Between examining loss and home, Trickshooter Social Club’s new album American Experiment is stripped down and entirely unpretentious; a rumination on the pathological optimism upon which America was founded and the ways it has – and hasn’t – changed since.
Produced and engineered by Grammy-award winning producer Jon Zacks at Chicago Recording Company, American Experiment celebrates a matchless intermingling of genres, combining artists like Tom Petty, Social Distortion, and early Wilco into a coherent, candid powerhouse. “There’s a certain amount of honesty that can’t be faked,” says singer Steve Simoncic.
