The Band
Starting in 2016 as an acoustic duo based out of Cincinnati, Brad Martin on acoustic guitar and Sean Fitzpatric on Trumpet & Bass Guitar, Shot:30 became more than a time of day. Immediately known for their diverse music performances along with their unique comedic approach to crowd banter, the two immediately started to work regularly around the region. Having performed all across the East Coast; from New York, to Put-in-Bay, to Key West, the interest in the group was continually growing! The addition of drums came in late 2018, bringing Mike Johns into the mix. His comedic personality and musical interests made him a much welcomed member to the group. The final piece to the puzzle came with the addition of Nick Netherton at the beginning of 2020. With his third harmony along with his lead guitar/fiddle chops, the duo became a powerhouse full size band. Just like that Shot:30 has become one of the top, must see acts all around the region.
