Jennings was just profiled in Billboard Magazine as an “In Demand” producer, following his recent work with Brandi Carlile, Duff McKagan, Tanya Tucker, and Marilyn Manson. Billboard praised, “Once the child of two country icons established himself as a successful southern rocker, he started racking up an impressive list of production credits.”
Earlier this year, Jennings received his first GRAMMY® Award for Best Americana Album for co-producing Brandi Carlile’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album By The Way, I Forgive You with Low Country Sound founder Dave Cobb. The album received a total of six nominations and three awards. Jennings reunited with Brandi Carlile in the studio to co-produce country legend Tanya Tucker’s While I’m Livin. Released last month, the 11-track LP marks Tucker’s first new material since 2002. The New York Times recently spoke with all three artists about the project.
Prior to working with Tucker, Jennings produced legendary Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan’s new solo album Tenderness, which was released in May. Entertainment Weekly praised the album as, “a superb set of roots-rock ruminations”, and Rolling Stone asserted “[McKagan’s] secret weapon here is producer Shooter Jennings.” Marilyn Manson also recently announced he had tapped Jennings to produce his forthcoming follow-up to 2017’s Heaven Upside Down.
Jennings and his band – Aubrey Richmond (fiddle, vocals), John Schreffler (guitar, pedal steel, vocals), Jamie Douglass (drums), and Ted Russell Kamp (bass, vocals) – just wrapped a European tour with Duff McKagan, serving as both his backing band, and direct support. Jennings was also just announced as direct support on select arena dates with Guns N’ Roses, and will perform headline and festival shows throughout the fall. A complete list of upcoming live dates and ticket information can be found HERE.
Shooter Jennings released his eighth studio album Shooter via Low Country Sound/Elektra Records on August 10, 2018. Produced by Dave Cobb at the renowned RCA Studio A on Nashville’s Music Row, Shooter was praised as “a rollocking self-titled LP that would’ve made dad Waylon proud” (Entertainment Weekly), “a God’s honest country-rock record” (Garden & Gun), and “a succinct but rowdy listen” (Rolling Stone). Following the release of Shooter, Jennings delivered a rousing performance of “Bound Ta Git Down” on CONAN and appeared on influential podcasts WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Walking The Floor with Chris Shiflett. Shooter is available now HERE.
