Led by multi-instrumentalists Howdy and Marilyn Darrell, A Town Called Home creates music rooted in South Texas grit and lifted by West Coast grooves. Their sound blends driving rhythms, rich harmonies, and a no-frills emotional honesty that exists somewhere between a honky tonk and a front porch confession. 

Their songs are grounded in tradition, but never bound by it.  Marilyn Darrell brings her fiercely independent spirit to her sharp songwriting, lead and rhythm guitar, and expressive accordion work that gives the band its own voice. Howdy's background as a Texas-based songwriter, guitar, mandolin, and upright bass player gives the music its backbone shaped by years of playing with honky tonkers and troubadors. Together, with influences ranging from conjunto to country rock, they write songs that are as much about place and memory as they are about movement and heart.

(They also drink excessive amounts of good coffee and love their chips and salsa.)
