   About West Of Texas
Southeast of the neon lights of Los Angeles is where the band West of Texas meets to write their own brand of Country Honky-tonk. This isn’t the watered down pop songs you'll find on today’s top 40 radio shows, these boys take their influences from the heroes of classic Country. It’s the sound you get when a Central California Native with a penchant for the shuffles of the Texas honky tonks meets up with a Native Texan with a love of the Bakersfield sound and start making music together. It’s the sound of a thousand Texas Dancehalls, the sound of the truck drivin’ radio shows and Nashville tunes that came crackling over the AM band 30 years ago, the sound of the Bakersfield twang. You’ll find them playing every honk tonk, bar, VFW Hall and backyard hoedown around Southern California. A few notes into one of the bands live show and you’ll be toe tapping, two stepping or swinging along with their honky tonk shuffles.
