Shane Longoria and the 171
Highway 171 runs through DeRidder, Louisiana. It's where the name comes from, but more than that, it's where the songs started. The kind of road that stays with you long after you've left.
Shane Longoria and the 171 make country rock with red dirt roots. Built on loud guitars, honest writing, and the belief that the best songs don't have to pretend to be anything they're not.
The band came together the same way the songs did, naturally. Four friends who grew up on the same records, chasing the same sound, and bringing it to every stage they step on.
Based in Monroe, Louisiana, Shane Longoria and the 171 play everywhere from hometown bars to festival stages with one goal every night: leave the room louder than they found it.
Honest songs. Built for loud rooms. Turn It Up.
