The driving force behind Houston Marchman is his ability to translate real life into music. Having spent his formative years soaking up the sights and sounds of America’s heartland, Marchman received his first guitar at the age of 5 and was influenced by his musical grandfather and poetic grandmother 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 and passionate person, Marchman is filled with humorous accounts and boundless energy. He connects with audiences wherever he plays. His fans love the honesty of his music as well as his smoky character-filled voice. Marchman 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.”
