            A ‘band of ringers” based in Dallas and Austin, The Texas Gentlemen are a versatile collective known for genre-blending skills, from pop-soul to country funk. They’ve served as a backing band for many A-List’ers (G. Strait, K Kristofferson, etc.) and are regularly compared to such legendary groups as LA’s Wrecking Crew and Muscle Shoals’ Swampers.
