Artist History The Shooters roots can be traced back to 1989, when a sweaty young J.R. Royall met Jason "Stubbie" Stubblefield at summer band practice before their freshman year of highschool. It was obvious even then that these two brilliant souls were destined to work together to create music, or perhaps fine quality pottery. Playing together in bands like THE MONASTERY JANITORS, they fueled an already budding love for music. But then, tragedy. Stub had to join the Marines after all-night Super Nintendo sessions left him without hope of passing a single college class. After the Marines, Stub settled in central Virginia. J.R. soon found himself there as well. It was here that the two found a drummer, Dan O'Brien. Unable to handle a friend without a nickname, Dan soon became "Drummer Dan"- the newest addition to the band. It was answering an online ad that led the boys to find veteran DC guitarist Brian Kenney. Again, it wasn't long before he became "BK." (not to be confused with the copywrited trademark of the Burger King Corporation.) Now, we're here to play music for you in the northern and central Virginia area, as well as right on your computer.
