For pop country duo SixForty1, their journey to find their sound and place … Read Full Bio ↴For pop country duo SixForty1, their journey to find their sound and place in Nashville music scene can be best compared to a winding road - much like their name. “My cousin came up with the name, after US-641. It cuts through Murray, where Austin and I met,” says member Brooks Hoffman. “It’s a road that brings a lot of people together, which is what we try to do with our music,” adds fellow member Austin Gee. Their early success proves the duo has done just that. With their first two Nashville singles “Plane Crazy” and “Maybe I Might” both at nearly 2 million streams, a recent booking deal with Creative Artist Agency (CAA), and hundreds of hometown fans behind them, there’s little doubt the boys of SixForty1 have found their footing and are quickly paving their way to a place amongst the genre’s top artists.
A Louisville, Kentucky native, Brooks caught the music bug early on. Inspired by his uncle, who was a part of Chicago-based Freddy Jones Band, he began guitar and drum lessons at the age of 9. “My guitar teacher was the earliest, biggest influence - he was the one that got me started songwriting.” Challenged by this guitar teacher to write and perform a song for his grandfather’s annual 4th of July party, Brooks wrote “Texas” - and played the tune to the over 400 in attendance. “It was a terrible song… But I fell in love with writing.” In high school, he really began to take writing seriously. “I would write and record what I’d written in my parents basement. None of it was country, though…” It wasn’t until he met Austin at Murray State that Hoffman’s started dabbling in the genre.
Austin, originally from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, began singing the moment he was born. “I used to watch Shania Twain videos. My mom has photos of me in boots and a hat, singing ‘Any Man of Mine’ into a microphone. It was understood early on - my brother was going to be the politician, I was going to be the singer.” Austin took part in choir and several local musical theater productions, including Aladdin and Lion King. He eventually joined his church band. With his eyes set on the lead spot, Austin picked up a guitar for the first time. “I realized if I wanted to be the front man, I had to play guitar as well. I learned quickly - I give all the credit to Guitar Hero.” It wasn’t until freshman year of college that Austin began writing and, much like Brooks, caught the writing bug in a rather public way. “I wrote a song called ‘Repeat’ for the Western Kentucky State Fair’s Country Showdown. I didn’t win - they thought it sucked - but I was hooked.”
Their worlds collided when both were nominated by their fraternities to take part in Murray State University’s male pageant, Mr. MSU, hosted by a sorority on campus. “I didn’t know anyone backstage - so I saw Austin sitting on the side with his guitar, and introduced myself,” says Brooks. Though the two didn’t immediately work together (“we were part of rival fraternities - it was a bit frowned upon”), they later re-connected and began writing. “I never saw myself writing with anyone else, but I wanted to be bigger musically, so we started working together,” says Austin. The two also booked local shows, playing to friends and building a fanbase. “I remember the first time we saw the marquis sign, with the words streaming across - this Thursday night, SixForty1 - and I thought, that’s so cool,” says Brooks.
The duo caught the attention of Nashville-based manager Alex Torrez, who helped pull together players for the recording of their first EP, which included debut single “Get Your Yeti On” and follow-up “No Rum or Reason.” Though the EP did well regionally, Brooks and Austin found themselves taking jobs in different cities (Brooks in Louisville, Austin in Knoxville). “Nashville was always our end goal - we just didn’t know how to get there. Most of ‘Plane Crazy’ was written over FaceTime,” says Austin.
With the help of a fan-funded campaign, SixForty1 recorded ‘Plane Crazy’ - and gained enough momentum to make the move to Music City. The track sparked interest from Morris Higham Management’s Aaron Keiser, who’s also responsible for Brantley Gilbert’s management. “We’d had interest from a few different managers, but Aaron immediately jumped in and began working for us before we even had a contract signed. It was clear he believed in us - he was the missing piece.”
With a management and a booking deal in place, SixForty1 is currently recording a new EP, due out later this year. As always, their hope is to release music that will stir something in others. “We love people, and we love showing people a good time. That’s what SixForty1 is all about - bringing people together.

Russia has not gained significant territory in the last twelve months. Russia retreated, withdrew and was routed form Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson, which was the last major retreat that occurred between the 9 and 11 November 2022.
"On 11 November 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated and recaptured the city of Kherson and other areas of the Kherson Oblast and parts of the Mykolaiv Oblast on the Right-Bank of the Dnipro River."
At the beginning of 2022, Russia had fresh troops and more than three times the hardware that Ukraine had available to them, plus an overwhelming advantage in air-force planes and navy ships.
It has only been during 2023 that Ukraine has been supplied with updated {not the newest} military hardware and equipment by the nearly 60 countries {possibly more} that are assisting and supporting Ukraine. During the last year, Russia's trained personnel has been diminishing, and their hardware has been destroyed, incapacitated or captured by Ukrainians, as per the details provided in the bar chart of this video.
Some have questioned why Ukraine has not taken more ground. As one commenter said, "Why risk forces and hardware by attempting to move into territory covered by the enemy when they keep running into your fist." Which is a graphic description of attritional warfare. Attempting to move into enemy held territory may make the conflict quicker but it also makes it hotter, which, as we have been told, costs far more lives and destruction for the attacking forces and also any civilians still in these areas.
Currently, it is the Russians who have continued to adopt and assume the roles of being attackers. Given the fact that the Russians appear to want to gain ground from Ukrainians, it is the Russians who continue to deplete their forces, hardware and equipment, more rapidly than the Ukrainians. However, the Russians are fully aware that if they slacken off, the Ukrainians will be very quick to take advantage of any such opportunities. That does not mean that the Ukrainians will ignore traps laid by the Russians.
It is for the reasons mentioned above that, I believe, that the conflict is not in a stalemate. A stalemate exists when both opposing forces are losing troops and hardware at about the same rates. According to what I have observed and has been available through military intelligence sources of the UK and the US, the Russian military are losing forces and hardware at a significantly higher rate than the Ukrainians. The longer that situation prevails, the less likely are the Russians to gain the upper hand. Indeed, the longer the WAR, waged by Russia against Ukraine continues, the greater the advantage swings in favour of the Ukrainians. This, I believe, is the reason why there has not been an imperative to speed up toward the culmination of the conflict. The longer it extends {within reason???} the better for Ukraine.
Some commenters also say that the longer the war takes, the more time that the Russians have to prepare their own offensive and defensive weapons and ground. That implies that the Ukrainians will be standing still, which they are not. That has been demonstrated by the various air, sea and land based offensive weapons and military defense items that are being designed, produced and used effectively by the Ukrainians. Consider air-borne drones, missiles and sea-borne water-craft and submarine drones.
"This {following} list only includes {confirmed) destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here."

ADDENDUM:
Putin's Recognition of Ukrainian Borders:
In 2008, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in a treaty with Ukraine that "the Russian Federation and Ukraine recognize each other's territorial integrity and inviolability of existing borders." However, Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its ongoing military aggression against Ukraine constitute a clear breach of this commitment.
Normandy Format Commitments:
The Normandy Format, consisting of Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and France, has been engaged in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine. In 2019, the Normandy Format leaders agreed to a package of measures aimed at de-escalating the conflict. However, Russia has not fully implemented these measures, and the situation in eastern Ukraine remains tense.
In addition to these specific instances, Russia has also engaged in a pattern of behavior that has undermined its credibility and trustworthiness on the international stage. For example, Russia has repeatedly interfered in elections in other countries, used disinformation and propaganda to manipulate public opinion, and violated international laws and treaties.
These actions have raised serious concerns about Russia's commitment to international law and its adherence to its commitments. The international community has responded to Russia's actions with a range of sanctions and other measures, but these have not yet been sufficient to deter Russia from its current course of action.

You have stated, "In 2019, the Normandy Format leaders agreed to a package of measures aimed at de-escalating the conflict." Was that package of measures, the Minsk Agreements, not prepared in 2014-15 ?
"Number 6 of 10 facts you should know about Russian military aggression against Ukraine
{List of Facts prepared on 19 December 2019 17:40}
https://mfa.gov.ua/en/10-facts-you-should-know-about-russian-military-aggression-against-ukraine "
"Fact 6: Russia violates the Minsk agreements on a regular basis The Minsk Agreements (Protocol of 5 September 2014, Memorandum of 19 September 2014 and Package of measures of 12 February 2015) are a basis for political resolution of the conflict in Donbas."
"They have been violated by the Russian Federation on a regular basis. Signing of the first documents in September 2014 followed direct incursion of the Russian regular troops in Donbas and intense hostilities near the city of Ilovaysk — the place of one of the most shameful crimes, committed by the Russian Army in Donbas. At least 366 Ukrainian servicemen were killed and 429 were wounded there while leaving the city in the so-called “green corridor” under the guarantees of commanders of Russian troops."
"In violation of the Minsk Memorandum, Russian troops and Russia-backed illegal armed formations seized 8 pieces of land 1696 km² in area, which had to be on the Ukrainian government-controlled territory according to the line of contact, defined by the Memorandum."
"Debaltseve is one of the most telling examples of how Russia violates the Minsk Agreements. Combined Russian-terrorist forces attacked and seized the city and the outskirts on 16–18 February 2015, immediately after the Minsk Package of measures, establishing the comprehensive ceasefire since 15 February, had been signed.
{The Battle of Debaltseve was a military confrontation in the city of Debaltseve, Donetsk Oblast, between the pro-Russian separatist forces of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), and the Ukrainian Armed Forces, starting in mid-January 2015 during the war in the Donbas region. }"

@spidrespidre
The tallest horse in recording history, according to the Guinness Book of Records, was called Sampson and was measured at 21.25 hands high in 1850. The reason I mention this is because it was renamed Mammoth, so the translation is correct - the Ukrainian drone manufacturers are not referring to the extinct elephant variant.
@mutteringmale
I'm sure you're right, as I'm also sure that the Uks are developing an even larger drone delivery system and IT will be called correctly, "mammoth".
@julesmorgan5986
The tallest and heaviest documented horse was the shire gelding Sampson (later renamed Mammoth), bred by Thomas Cleaver of Toddington Mills, Bedfordshire, UK. This horse, foaled 1846, measured 21.2½ hands, 2.19 m (7 ft 2.5 in) in 1850 and was later said to have weighed 1,524 kg (3,359 lb).
