The Panhandlers

A quartet of notable West Texas songwriters who came together to celebrate the deep-rooted influence and traditions of their native region, the Panhandlers play a rugged mix of earthy Americana, vintage country, and red dirt music that is, above all else, uniquely Texan. While they initially planned to focus on the songs of the artists who inspired them, their own talents as tunesmiths won out, and they blended their Lone Star perspectives into a unified musical outlook. The band released their eponymous debut album in early 2020, with all four writers collaborating on their tales of West Texas life, and they showed even more confidence and pride of place on 2023's Tough Country.
