West Texas Exiles
This five-member band, with members hailing from El Paso, Lubbock, and Amarillo, draws on the musical traditions of West Texas in an Americana-centered sound. Their 2023 debut EP was followed by an upcoming full-length album scheduled for release later this year.
West Texas Exiles consists of five musicians who grew up in El Paso, Lubbock, and Amarillo, Texas. Their music reflects the vast western regions of the Lone Star State, grounded in Americana traditions. The Austin-based band features three songwriters: Marco Gutierrez, Daniel Davis, and Colin Gilmore—son of renowned Texas troubadour Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The lineup also includes seasoned bassist Eric Harrison and Trinidad Leal, a former drummer for the Dirty River Boys.
The band released their debut EP in 2023, paving the way for their first full-length album, '8000 Days,' set for release later in the same year. West Texas Exiles have honed their live performances through a weekly residency at Austin’s legendary Continental Club and appearances at major local events like SXSW and Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion. Their touring also includes performances at prominent festivals such as Nashville’s Americanafest, Braun Brothers Reunion, and San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
