The Shooters were a Washington D.C./Virginia area local band of talent comprised of J.R. Royall, Robert "Scooter" Scott, "Stub" and "Ogre". The bands songs came from mostly a catalogue of songs brought by J.R. Royall. They had dreams of a CD, but it never came to be, though they had demos of songs available for download through http://mp3.washingtonpost.com. You can read a little more about the band, though now no more, at http://www.shootersite.com. According to this site, The Shooter's is no more. The site suggested that J.R. had a new band: Radio-TX in Dallas, but the weblink to that band was broken. Now there is a new weblink to a band called the Hot Rockin' Fonzies to be found on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/hotrockinfonzies
The Shooters was a five-piece country music band composed of Walt Aldridge (guitar, lead vocals) Gary Baker (bass guitar), Barry Billings (guitar), Chalmers Davis (keyboards), and Michael Dillon (drums). They charted several times on the Billboard country charts between 1987 and 1989. They also recorded one album for Epic Records, 1990's Solid As a Rock.
After disbanding, Aldridge found work as a session musician and record producer, while Baker joined songwriting partner Frank J. Myers to write John Michael Montgomery's 1994 hit single "I Swear", which was later covered by All-4-One as well. Baker and Myers also recorded one album as the duo Baker & Myers.
