Shooter Jennings' Bio: Shooter Jennings lived his first few years in a crib on his parents' tour bus. By age five, he was playing drums. At 8 years old, he took piano lessons. He started playing guitar at fourteen and sometimes played percussion in his father's band. He and his father recorded a record together called "Fenixon" in 1996 which was partially used for the core material which led to the album "Waylon Forever". "Fenixon" has yet to be released. Shooter graduated from University School of Nashville in 1997.

As an adult, Jennings left Nashville, Tennessee to seek his fortunes in Los Angeles. He assembled and performed with Stargunn, a southern rock band who, through three distinct phases, sounded like a hybrid of Lynyrd Skynyrd, David Bowie, Guns n' Roses and The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies. Stargunn performed at local clubs for six years, built an avid following, and earned praise from the local music press.

On March 30, 2003, Jennings dissolved Stargunn and began travelling often to New York City to spend time with his girlfriend and sort out what he wanted to do next. He returned to Los Angeles in 2003 to begin working on new material. He recorded his first album "Put The O Back in Country" with Dave Cobb producing in 2004 and it was released in 2005.

Jennings portrayed his father in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. He is the host of Shooter Jennings' Electric Rodeo, a two-hour weekly music show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Outlaw Country channel. His second solo album Electric Rodeo was released on April 4, 2006, followed by The Wolf on October 23, 2007. This album was followed in 2009 by his first compilation album, Bad Magick: The Best of Shooter Jennings and the .357's.

In 2010 Jennings' fourth album, Black Ribbons, a dystopian concept rock opera featuring Stephen King as Will O' The Wisp, was released March 2, 2010. On May 1, 2010 Shooter Jennings announced "Black Ribbons: The Living Album" on his Twitter account. The "Living Album" includes the full studio record and live shows with Hierophant on a USB flash drive shaped like a tarot card. Although a complete departure from his country sound, the album showed off the diversity and imagination of Shooter as an artist. When asked if there would be more Hierophant albums in the future, Shooter said "Definitely, when we need one"

In 2011, following a move to New York, Shooter, with childhood friend and master pianist Erik Deutsch, formed "The Triple Crown", a new backing band for his forthcoming country album. The album, his first self-produced outing, is said to be released in September on 429 records. … Read more
