With their unwavering dedication to music, 49 WINCHESTER from southern Appalachia has established itself as one of the most sought-after bands on the country, Americana and rock scene. The six-piece formation from Virginia inspires with rousing songs and has established a firm place in the scene with sold-out headlining shows worldwide. Following their acclaimed performance at this year's C2C: Country to Country in Berlin, they will be returning to Germany in fall 2025 as part of their "Welcome to the Holler" tour. Up-and-coming singer-songwriter WYATT FLORES will be a special guest when the band play their three concerts on 22.10. in Cologne, 24.10. in Berlin and 25.10. in Hamburg.
What began as a youth project of three friends has developed into one of the most exciting bands on the music scene. Frontman Isaac Gibson, bassist Chase Chafin and guitarist Bus Shelton began their musical journey on Winchester Street in their hometown of Castlewood, Virginia, and have built a loyal following with a unique sound that blends country, rock'n'roll and folk, as well as rousing live shows. After five studio albums, sold-out concerts worldwide and millions of streams, they have cemented their place in the international music landscape.
With their album "Fortune Favors the Bold" (2022), 49 WINCHESTER celebrated their international breakthrough and supported Luke Combs' world tour in front of 11,000 enthusiastic fans at the sold-out Barclays Arena in Hamburg in 2023. They win over every audience live - including in 2024, when they came to Germany for their own headline shows and had to move to larger venues due to high demand. The close connection between band and audience is unmistakable - impressively demonstrated at this year's C2C: Country to Country Festival and The Bluebird Cafe the day before, where frontman Isaac Gibson wowed with an impressive acoustic performance. On Friday, March 7, the six-piece band celebrated an acclaimed reunion with the German audience on the C2C main stage.
With "Leavin' This Holler" (2024), 49 WINCHESTER seamlessly build on their success and present an album that combines powerful country rock anthems with orchestral elements. Despite their international success, 49 WINCHESTER remain true to their roots. Castlewood, Virginia, remains their home and their greatest source of inspiration. "Over time, you realize that it's the simple things that really count," says Gibson.
As part of their German tour, the band will be joined by special guest WYATT FLORES. The Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter has established himself as an up-and-coming force in the Americana and country genre with profound songs such as "Losing Sleep" and "Please Don't Go" as well as his albums "Life Lessons" (2023) and "Welcome To The Plains" (2024), among others. After his successful debut at C2C: Country to Country 2025 in Berlin, FLORES is now returning to Germany as part of the 49 WINCHESTER Tour.
The three dates of the "Welcome to the Holler" tour in October 2025 promise energetic live shows full of passion - a must for all fans of country, Americana and rock'n'roll!
