These guys came together as a band in Stephenville, Texas and In the last few years alone, Giovannie & The Hired Guns have become a massively beloved live band that has amassed millions of streams mostly powered through friends telling friends about their high-octane brand of country and rock and roll along with their first two albums being released without the support of a record label. Pretty Amazing!!

 In addition to their rockin'country sound, the band also offers up some Southern rock, la musica norteña and Latin hip-hop. Giovannie says...“We’re all from different walks of life, and we all have our own unique style that we add to the band,” says Yanez. “No one’s ever telling anyone else how or what to play; we just show up and jam out and it all comes together so naturally—nothing is ever forced with us.”

In addition to selling out their own shows, the band has shared the stage with the likes of the Read Southall Band and Kody West among numerous others including opening for platinum-selling country star Jason Aldean to a crowd of 36,000 at Globe Life Park stadium.

The band is touring all over the United States these days and I am glad to see that they are making a stop on their tour at Cooper's BBQ Live in Christoval.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
