THE MARTINI SHOT is a vibrant six-piece, horn-infused party band hailing from Southern Colorado. With four original projects under their belt, they draw major inspiration from artists like Barenaked Ladies, Reel Big Fish, Foo Fighters, and 311. Their high-energy covers reimagine popular hits with catchy horn riffs, giving them the signature "Martini Shot flavor."
A staple at local festivals and concert series, The Martini Shot has shared the stage with iconic acts like Eddie Money, Blue Öyster Cult, Foghat, Firefall, Pure Prairie League, and Great White. Established in 2000, the band is comprised of seasoned professionals, many of whom are current or former local music teachers, showcasing their passion for performance and education. The name "Martini Shot" is inspired by the Hollywood slang for the last shoot of the day, reflecting the band's celebratory spirit and dedication to entertaining audiences.
