West Texas Exiles
There’s Texas, and then there’s West Texas. You can leave it behind, but you can’t let it go.Nobody knows that better than the West Texas Exiles. Love of music and a restlessness to escape their hometowns of Lubbock, El Paso and Amarillo brought them together in Austin. With the release of their debut EP, Volume I, they showcased the talents of their three singer / songwriters: Marco Gutierrez, Daniel Davis, Colin Gilmore with masterful performances by bassist Eric Harrison and drummer Trinidad Leal. The band are now hard at work on their highly anticipated first ever full-length album, set to release later in 2024. With influences from The Flatlanders and Buddy Holly to Vampire Weekend and Jason Isbell, they are reinvigorating the music scene with a modern interpretation of the lone star vernacular. They've quickly grown from their inception a couple of years ago, playing SXSW, AmericanaFest and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest and garnering national radio play. Plaudits like 2022 International Songwriting Competition spotlight their rhythmic and lyrically honest sound. The West Texas Exiles’ style truly evokes the ghosts of southwest Americana.
