Western Youth

Date TBA

The King is Gone

Hailing from Austin, TX by way of Dallas, Houston, Ohio, and New Zealand’s southern island, Western Youth staggers between Rock n' Roll, Folk, and Alt-Country to create a sound that's all their own. Their debut album, ‘Leaving The Station,’ produced by Monahans' Britton Beisenherz, was released in 2013 to critical acclaim. Texas Music said it had “a smartly balanced mix of Southern rock and pensive weepers." Currently working on their follow-up album due out in Spring 2018, Western Youth is Taylor Williams (vocals, guitar), Matt Gregg (vocals, guitar), Graham Weber (vocals, guitar), Brian Bowe (drums), Sean Spiller (bass), and Sam Powell (keys).
