Karl Denson Tiny Universe guitarist D.J. Williams is going hard in the paint with his own band, Shots Fired, from the front lines of Denver’s post-funk scene.

The band is signed to Eddie Roberts’ (New Mastersounds) Color Red label and performs regularly in the Denver area for a rapidly growing community of Shots Fired faithfuls, who never miss a chance to see Williams perform his originals with a rotating and always-different lineup.

Any given Shots Fired show might include members of Dave Matthews Band, Trey Anastasio Band, Slightly Stoopid, Thievery Corporation, Big Gigantic, Primus, Greyboy Allstars, The Motet, Ratdog, Lyrics Born, New Mastersounds, Stevie Wonder’s band, Electric Beethoven, and more.

Shot’s Fired’s debut album, “Live From Over Where” (only available at shows) sold out of its first pressing with help from SiriusXM’s Jam On, which spun the singles “She’s No Good” and “Dusty Fingers” on a heavy rotation.

Performing almost exclusively in Colorado and California, DJ Williams is taking Shots Fired east this spring for some quick-strikes in advance of Shots Fired’s upcoming studio debut release.
