Formed in 2004, the members of Subtle Shot have made a name for themselves along the Gulf Coast as well as across the State of Mississippi. Having one of the most talented voices on the coast only helps. Andrew Van Etten has the attitude that if it sounds good on CD it should sound just as good live. He thrives on his near flawless vocal performance on stage. After writing and recording with his brother, Stephen Van Etten, he learned very quickly that Stephen brought something to the table as well with his producer-like sense of musical arrangement and melody along with 7 years of experience on guitar.
On the other side of the spectrum, the drums and bass for this group are far from mellow. Dj Triplett and Chris Fowler form a tight bond of low end sonic authority that is capable of shaking the nails out of the rafters. After intense hours of practice and a few small shows, Subtle Shot is out of the shadows to take the country by storm.
Aside from being on regular rotation in Tupelo, MS on WZLQ 98.5 FM, they have been featured on WCPR 97.9 (Biloxi) and smaller radio stations online. Their track "Make My Way" was featured on the 2006 Winter Olympic promotional spots for WTVA (Tupelo, Columbus) and gained them great exposure in Northern Mississippi and Southern Tennessee. "We are hoping to turn some heads this year" says guitarist Stephen Van Etten and turning heads seems to be what they are best at doing.
