About Ryan Humbert of the Shootouts
Ryan Humbert is the lead singer of the northern Ohio band The Shootouts.
Hailing from Akron, Ohio, The Shootouts are known for their energetic fusion of Americana, honky tonk and Western swing that Shootouts fans often refer to as “country music for people who don’t like country.”
