houston-marchman
The driving force behind Houston Marchman is Houston?s ability to translate real life into music. Houston spent his formative years soaking up the sights and sounds of America?s heartland. Houston received his first guitar at the age of 5. Influenced by his musical grandfather and poetic grandmother, Houston wrote his first song at the age of 13. Today he continues to produce music both poetically humble and musically complex, creating music that honestly and vividly portrays life mixing the sounds of country, Texas folk, polka, conjunto and blues.
Described as a charming, passionate person by those close to him, Marchman is filled with humorous accounts and boundless energy connecting with audiences wherever he plays. His fans love the honesty of his music as well as his smoky character-filled voice. Houston ?s explains his philosophy of writing this way: ?The point is not to be creative but to be accurate in your experience and therefore you will be creative. Don ?t write what you think listeners want to hear, write what you know.? Mark Mundy of KNON in Dallas observes, ?It ?s this type of writing that is drawing attention to Marchman and his music. It ?s refreshing to hear a singer/songwriter who can paint a picture and make you fell like you are there.?
