::.05/01/08: Kent Crandall steps down as lead singer of SHOTGUN
It is with much sadness that SHOTGUN announces that Kent Crandall will be stepping down as lead singer of SHOTGUN. Kent has
been called (AGAIN!) to active duty with the Army Reserves and will be doing a 12 month tour in Iraq beginning in August. This will be
Kent's second tour of duty with the Army Reserves, his previous tour lasting 18 months in 2004-2005. Regardless of anyone's
individual position on the 'war on terror' Kent and his family are making a huge sacrifice for the country, and as SHOTGUN
bandmates and friends, we salute him! Good luck Kent, and we will rock on again when you return!

As bummed as we are to see Kent go, the rock must go on! SHOTGUN is very excited to announce the addition of Randy Gifford as

Randy was our guy when at our first rehearsal we jammed about 4 Sabbath tunes and Randy didn't need a lyric sheet! See the
Tunes page for new Audio samples with Randy on vocals!
