A Town Called Home is led by songwriters Marilyn and Howdy Darrell. Their country music draws on their Texas roots, hillbilly classics, honky tonk, and folk.   

Formed in Austin and now based in Portland, Oregon, A Town Called Home has toured nationally, performed at the Brooklyn Americana Festival and Seattle's Northwest Folklife Festival, and opened for artists, including Wayne Hancock and Hank Williams IV. Recorded in Austin, Texas, with a full band, their 2022 debut album, Ravel and Twine, features Marilyn and Howdy's original songs and close harmonies.

Marilyn plays guitar and diatonic accordion, which she studied with Grammy-winning accordionist Joel Guzman. Howdy is a longtime upright bassist who also plays guitar and mandolin and spent years touring and recording with Texas honky tonk bands and songwriters. Both write, trade lead vocals, and sing harmony. Their songs are about love, loss, family, bad decisions, and somehow still carrying on.
