Who We Are

About Shot Down

Shot Down is a Connecticut-based country band founded in 2016. Inspired by the golden era of country — Brooks, Strait, Twitty — and the modern pulse of artists like Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, the band brings a raw, honest sound to every stage. Available as a 3-piece acoustic trio, 4-piece electric band, or full 8-piece production, Shot Down adapts to your venue and your crowd.
