The Wynntown Marshals

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Wynntown... present day... the smell of honeysuckle hangs heavy in the summer night.Somewhere in the distance, a throaty V8 engine turns over and the sound of a steel guitar spills from the local bar.Lovers of honest, tuneful country/rock 'n' roll (call it what you want), the Marshals play songs about love, loss, heartbreak, natural disasters, battles and the broken ride we call life.We hope you like 'em...
