49 Winchester Release New Album Change of Plans
Acclaimed alt-country band 49 Winchester has released their highly anticipated new album Change of Plans today via Lucille Records / MCA. A full tracklist can be found below. The band is nominated for Group of the Year at the ACM Awards taking place in Las Vegas this Sunday!
Executive produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson) at his recording studio in Savannah, GA, Change of Plans captures the band at a creative peak—expanding their sonic palette while staying rooted in the vivid storytelling that has defined their career. Across the album’s tracks, 49 Winchester explores themes of growth, reflection, and resilience, shaped by years on the road and an unwavering commitment to authenticity.
The album includes standout tracks “Oh Savannah,” “Slowly,” and “Pardon Me,” each offering a glimpse into a new era for the band—one marked by emotional honesty, musical depth, and fearless exploration.
Change of Plans is the band’s debut release under Lucille Records / MCA and includes their stirring cover of Black Sabbath’s “Changes.” MCA is collaborating with New West Records on the project, with all subsequent releases set to be issued exclusively under the MCA banner.
Hailing from Virginia, 49 Winchester blends Southern rock and country with a raw, honest storytelling approach. Known for their electrifying live performances, the band has built a devoted fanbase and earned widespread critical acclaim. Last fall, they brought that energy to two sold-out nights at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium.
Led by singer-songwriter Isaac Gibson, alongside Bus Shelton (lead guitar), Chase Chafin (bass), Noah Patrick (pedal steel), Tim Hall (keys), and Justin Louthian (drums), 49 Winchester continues to channel the heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom of Appalachia into every song they release.
49 Winchester is currently on tour, with headline dates across the country and select shows supporting Eric Church and Tim McGraw throughout 2026.
