It all started on a cold January night almost a decade and a half ago in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada. Vocalist Dean Kush and drummer Aaron Habicht were in no man’s land…the band that they were part of was no more…but they knew that they wanted to keep performing. While calling some industry connections a few days earlier they had come up with a few names of local musicians that they could start a new band with. Sitting in a small apartment that night…Faster Gun was born… Since that night musicians have come and gone but the core of Faster Gun remained. With the release of their first album, 1995’s “Take A Chance”, Faster Gun’s been a fixture on the country music scene. “Take A Chance” was followed up with 1999’s “Something Real” and they’re latest album entitled “Back Again.” Throughout their career, Faster Gun’s been honoured with 12 wins at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards as well as an Independent Group of the Year nomination at the Canadian Country Music Awards. They are the reigning SCMA Album of the Year winners for their 2007 release “Back Again”, and the album has also resulted in Faster Gun being the most played Saskatchewan country band on Canadian country radio. Industry buzz has been generated by recent performances in Nashville in which Faster Gun was invited to perform on Billy Block’s Western Beat live radio/webcast show. Faster Gun continues to perform at major festivals and events across the country including the Halftime Show for the CFL's 2009 Western Final right at home at Mosaic Stadium, The 2009 Grey Cup in Calgary, Albera and The World Junior Hockey Championships in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. “We’ve always performed for nobody but ourselves and our fans. We’ve been very fortunate over the years and will continue to perform as long as people are there to support us!”
