American Frank Diaz and Kiwi Deb Young joined their musical passion as Shootin’ in the Dark in 2022. Diaz, a vocalist and guitarist, works on the song arrangements and Young, a vocalist, works on the vocal/harmony arrangements and light percussion. Together they began to curate and perform a unique list of songs that fell into the genre of alternative country (a blend of country, folk, rock and blues music).
Shootin’ in the Dark creates a distinct uptempo, rhythmic and beat oriented Alternative Country sound inspired by artists such as Steve Earle, The Beat Farmers, Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen and Dwight Yoakam to name a few.
