Formed in Edinburgh in 2007, the Wynntown Marshals tip their hat to artists like The Jayhawks, Wilco, Drive-By Truckers, Ryan Adams and Neil Young.
The Marshals’ sound can loosely be described as ‘country rock’, although the power pop hooks of ‘Two’s Company’ and the Stonesy swagger of ‘You Can Have My Heart’ convey the band’s love of guitars, their way with a catchy chorus and their unabashed belief in the power of rock music as a storytelling medium.
In 2008 the Marshals performed as UK tour support for the influential American singer-songwriter Chuck Prophet and performed to critical acclaim at the 2008 and 2009 Kilkenny Rhythm
