The Greyhounds
The members of the Austin duo Greyhounds, guitarist Andrew Trube and keyboardist Anthony Farrell, have been making music and touring for 15 years, refining and developing a sound Trube calls “Hall and Oates meet ZZ Top.” The band also has long ties to Memphis, home of the soul that inspires them.
During their long musical partnership, Trube and Farrell have written songs for Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, among others, toured with American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, and for several years worked together as part of JJ Grey and Mofro.
The duo has earned kudos from some legendary supporters. “Greyhounds make real music, the right way and for the right reasons,” said Derek Trucks, while JJ Grey described their songs as landing “somewhere between a heartfelt hymn and the dirtiest jank you’ve ever heard in your life,” and Gary Clark Jr. summed up a recent LA show by tweeting simply that they “crushed it as usual.”
