Drummer, Pete Shotts, never dreamed that a 4 year old roadie/ wanna-be singer for White Lightning would grow up to be his frontman,Ryan Baker. Dondi Presley was thumping out his bass line with country and rock bands throughout the San Antonio area before coming home to South Texas, and Mike Luna was flashing his badge by day and his hot lead guitar by night.
Growing up with varied interests (4H,FFA,NASCAR, and muscle cars) one thing brought this unlikely mix together...their love of good, solid country music. 2003 ignited their fire and TEXAS HEAT emerged.
No label (yet) but we've opened for and made friends with lots of folks such as:Hank Williams Jr., John Conlee,Kevin Fowler, Jason Allen, Gretchen Wilson, SheDaisy, Phil Vassar,Tracy Lawrence, Tracy Byrd, Gary Alan, Buddy Jewel, Doug Supernaw,Restless Heart, Aaron Watson, Hal Ketchum,Roger Creager,Dwight Yoakam, and more! (the list IS long)
We're a fun loving bunch of guys and enjoy getting you out on the dance floor. Hope to see YOU at our next show!!!
