Southern rock and Appalachian country powerhouses 49 Winchester are bringing their headlining Change of Plans Tour to Los Angeles for a performance at The Bellwether.
Hailing from the small mountain town of Castlewood, Virginia, 49 Winchester has emerged as one of the hardest-working and most fiery live acts in modern country and roots music. Formed high school friends singer-songwriter Isaac Gibson, lead guitarist Bus Shelton, and bassist Chase Chafin—later expanding to include pedal steel player Noah Patrick, keyboardist Tim Hall, and drummer Justin Louthian—the six-piece group blends high-octane Southern rock, soulful Appalachian country, and gritty, blue-collar storytelling.
Known for relentless touring and raw, gravelly vocals, the band steadily built a dedicated grass-roots fanbase before making waves across the country music landscape with critically acclaimed projects and stadium-scale tours.
