Imagine a jam session with Ennio Morricone and The Ventures. Imagine Clint Eastwood, dirty hat and guns drawn, high-plains-drifting on a surfboard.... The Big Guns' unique live shows keeps them busy performing at various venues throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The shows feature guitar instrumentals, some original and plenty of covers, that float cleverly between the realms of surf (The Ventures), Spaghetti Western movie themes (Ennio Morricone), and twang (Duane Eddy, Link Wray). Very cool, and frequently "timelessly retro."
