A Town Called Home with The Prairie Benders and Sun Tex

Led by multi-instrumentalists Howdy and Marilyn Darrell, A Town Called Home showcases close heartfelt harmonies and original tunes steeped in a wide-range of traditional musical influences yielding a cut of Americana all their own. Merging deep Texas roots with a West coast vibe, their songs run from pensive and introspective to defiant and hard-driving. Originally from Austin, they are currently calling Portland, Oregon home.

Experience The Prairie Benders original and distinctly dark Americana/Folk Rock sound. In a style that conjures Neil Young to John Prine to Wilco, The Prairie Benders deliver compelling lyrics steeped in psychedelic escapism, catchy melodies and sharp songwriting. The Prairie Benders unique musical signature showcases the fiddle as the main lead solo instrument, setting them apart from the standard electric guitar-centric approach of most bands. Featuring vocal harmonies, fiddle, acoustic guitar and a tight rhythm section, The Prairie Benders music feels genuinely cathartic and is as healing as it is infectious. Based in Portland, Oregon.

Suntex is a modern western quartet inspired by desert cinematic landscapes, lonesome cowboys, dark western ballads and classic sounds embodying these themes.
