Shotgun Waltz is an alternative roots rock band founded in 2012 and based in Westwood, Mass. Anchored by the songwriting of singer/guitarist/steel player Jim DeTore (The Bloodhounds, Airport, Whiskey-6) and powered by veteran rockers: drummer, Rick Weden (The Lines, Davis Black), bassist Pete Abajoli (SuperLow, The Melatonins) and lead guitarist Adam Dehner (2Adam12, AJ Edwards Band, Adicus), the band creates a unique sound that draws inspiration from gritty roots music as well as 80’s and 90’s alternative rock. Shotgun Waltz are frequent performers around Boston and have released two EPs, 2017’s Skin Deep & Shifting Gears from 2021, and most recently the February single “Pity Party”, all to positive reviews. The band has recorded all its music at Q Division Studios in Cambridge, Mass including their upcoming 10 song album which is due to be released in the spring of 2024.
