About Buxton
Artist Biography
Playing a lively, intelligent fusion of folk and rock, Buxton were formed in La Porte, Texas, a town on the Gulf of Mexico roughly 25 miles east of Houston. In 2006, the band recorded and self-released its debut album, Red Follows Red. The group released its second album in 2009, the more thematically ambitious A Family Light. The album received enthusiastic reviews in the Texas music press, and Buxton began touring throughout the state and around the Southwest and West Coast. In 2011, Buxton attracted the attention of the celebrated independent roots music label New West Records who released their third album Nothing Here Seems Strange, in January 2012. Moving away from the roots-inspired sound that of their first three albums, they travelled to Los Angeles to work with producer Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver) on their fourth release, 2015's Half a Native. ~ Mark Deming
