West Of Texas

Southeast of the skyscrapers and neon lights of Los Angeles is where the band West of Texas meet to write their songs. These boys take their influences from the heroes of Classic & Outlaw Country. It's a sound that captures the Bakersfield Twang, Texas Shuffles, Western Swing, Truck Drivin' radio shows and Nashville tunes that came crackling over the AM band over 30 years ago.
The band was formed in 2003 by Jerry Zinn. As the song writer, he knew early on that he needed to and would eventually play country music. The problem was finding musicians that could breathe new life into the sound of traditional country. After spending a few years living in Northern California, he stumbled across the local scene, and it became apparent that he wasn't alone. Inspired by the tight-knit group of musicians, he returned to Southern California, with notebooks full of songs written over the years. He was determined to honor the legends while creating his own version of the classics.
Some have said West of Texas bring back the sound of the legendary Palomino Club, with their timeless sound and hard hitting Honky Tonk. Others have said the only thing missing from the bands live shows is chicken wire in front of the stage and saw dust on the floor. A few notes into the bands energetic live show and you'll be toe tapping, two stepping or swinging along. So belly-up to the bar and listen to their songs of heartaches, hangovers, and honky tonks.
