Formed on Winchester Street in the small mountain town of Castlewood, Virginia (population: 2,045), 49 Winchester began as a group of neighborhood teenage friends on a calculated DIY path. In 2014 they independently released their eponymous debut, followed by 2018’s The Wind and his 2020’s Celebration III. Looking back to his early days as a jack-of-all-trades mason and trying to make ends meet to keep the band going, frontman Gibson can’t help but be grateful for the well-earned money. A concept at the heart of the band’s ethos — everything worth living is built brick by brick. “You have to build everything, and very few people do it overnight,” says Gibson. “We didn’t start out as a bunch of Nashville hot shot pickers. We started on the ground floor — very basic songwriting and instrumentation. We kept going, always making progress on what we wanted to do and how we wanted to sound — each song was better than the last, and tonight’s show was better than last night.”
