Back in 2015, when Giovannie Yanez decided to put a band together, he wanted to form a band of brothers who could put on a high-energy show and deliver a sound that the Texas scene had never seen before. Five years later, Giovannie & the Hired Guns have done just that.

This group out of Stephenville has made a name for themselves in Texas music, where they’re known for playing thrilling shows that will always keep you on your toes. Lead guitarist, Chance Bannister, brings heavy-handed guitar licks and a rich tone with just enough edge. Alex Trejo on bass lays down the rhythm with a rock twist, and drummer, Milton Toles plays a soulful beat that further adds to the group’s unique sound. After a successful year of touring and tracking their sophomore record, Gio & the Hired Guns started 2020 with some heat. They are one of the up-and-coming acts to keep an eye on.
