MEMBERS:

The lead vocalist is Buddy Jack. Buddy was born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma. He has spent much of his life singing and entertaining in local rock groups around the Oklahoma City Metro Area. But his love of country music was always lying under the exterior and eventually came bursting out.

It is not uncommon for Buddy to perform songs from dissimilar artists. Buddy's smooth, silky vocal style puts him among the top singers in the Oklahoma country music scene. Now as the lead singer of The Young Guns he is hoping to take this group of talented musicians to a new height of excellence and bring passion to the voice of today's country music.

Until a few years ago drummer Jaime Allen was one of Oklahoma's best kept secrets. No more. Oklahoma's drummers have been served notice, and there is now a new standard of excellence to strive toward. Jaimes' "thrashing country from hell" style gives The Young Guns an energy level previously unheard of in the Oklahoma country music scene.

Born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma, Jaime played trumpet in the Norman High School Marching Band and participated in several state and national music competitions. He began playing drums at the age of sixteen. While attending the University of Oklahoma he played in several local Top 40 rock bands. He co-founded The Young Guns in February of 1991.

Bassist Shawn Towle provides a smooth, solid bottom end to The Young Guns sound. With a background in music as a child, Shawn studied trombone through high school (also playing bass guitar in the show choir combo), and went on to major in music at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, OK. In his second year he was invited to become a member of the world's largest fraternity for professional musicians, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.

Since leaving school, Shawn has toured the country performing for thousands in powerhouse groups like; The Austin Nail Band, The Otis Watkins Band and Kinky as well as several others.

The lead guitarist is Larry Coldiron. Larry was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He has been playing and singing on the local club circuit for twenty years. He started playing rhythm guitar in the Stonerbridge and Spur of the Moment Bands. For the last ten years he has been the lead guitarist for the Hard Knox band. Larry is the newest member of The Young Guns.

It is not uncommon for Larry to perform songs from dissimilar artists. His guitar style is very solid and diverse. He can go from a heart-felt love song to a searing rock n' roll solo with no lessening of quality or style. His vocal work, both as a soloist and in a backup role, is of high quality.
