Six Gun Sally are gearing up for a blazing summer. The Pittsburgh-based Southern rock group will release their new single “Sittin’ Pretty” on Friday, July 17, 2026, and it doubles as their definitive theme song. The track marks a bold evolution for the female-fronted powerhouse and sets the pace for a packed touring season. It opens with explosive guitar work nodding to Deep Purple’s “Highway Star,” fueled by a wall of heavy, distorted riffs. It’s a high-octane homage to ’70s rock with a fierce contemporary edge.
The song carries real personal weight beneath the swagger. Written by Jeff “Ford” Thurston, Matt Muckle, lead singer Aimee Jane Williams, and band leader and drummer Dave Barbe, “Sittin’ Pretty” plays as a semi-autobiographical anthem, tracing a female rocker’s journey from small-town roots to big-city stages and bright lights. It delivers a confident feminine twist on a historically male-dominated genre, standing as a Six Gun Sally manifesto. Williams’ commanding belt drives it home, countered by background callbacks that frame her dominant performance.
The group bridges nostalgic ’70s rock and modern intensity with serious musicianship. Williams’ powerhouse vocals lead the way, backed by Allen Granus on lead guitar, Jeff Yeckel on lead and rhythm guitar, Dan Rach on keys, Stan Brusoski on bass, Billy G on percussion and drums, and Barbe on percussion and drums. In the vintage vocal lineage of Janis Joplin and Merry Clayton, the track serves fresh fire for anyone with a taste for classic rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a thrilling, full-throttle showcase.
The single arrives right on schedule with the group’s summer plans. “Sittin’ Pretty” is positioned to ignite their shows as support on the double-billed “Double Trouble Double Vision Tour,” headlined by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner. The 22-date run begins July 17 in West Palm Beach, Florida and wraps August 29 in Rogers, Arkansas.
Six Gun Sally have built a hard-touring reputation, playing nearly 65 dates a year for audiences of all ages with a love for Southern and classic rock in the vein of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, and Janis Joplin. The seven-piece released a self-titled debut in 2021 and followed it with March 2025’s ‘Stand Up’, which has amassed over 750K cumulative Spotify streams.
