Western Cuts came together in 2023, grounded in shared history and a commitment to the roots of outlaw country and western swing. Comprising Clay Helms (vocals, guitar), Watchman Whitworth (lead guitar, vocals), Sam Shoemaker (pedal steel), Delia Cashman (bass), and Luke Paulson (drums), The band channels the classic country and western sound of the 50s through the 70s, reminiscent of icons like Waylon and Willie, Commander Cody, George Jones, Buck Owens, and Hank Williams.\----
Hailing from the plains of eastern Kansas, Marty Bush is a torchbearer of the American songwriting tradition. His songs resonate with the weight of his influences such as Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Kris Kristofferson, but he has channeled their emotional honesty and unvarnished truth-telling into something uniquely his own. While his 2022 solo debut “The Long Way Home” established him as a devout follower of the country and western songwriting tradition, his follow-up LP “Cowboy Chords” (out OCTOBER 13th 2023) takes a bold step forward in establishing his voice as both a songwriter and performer. Taking the reins as both producer and engineer, Bush plays every instrument on the album with the exception of pedal steel which is skillfully manned by Devon Teran (Timbers). The result is a clear and precise vision of songs that honor the past and think to the present.
