Marfa

Marfa makes music somewhere between the hazy dreamscape of the mythical Laurel Canyon and the restless energy of modern indie rock. Texas and Washington-raised and shaped by their time in Colorado, Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall pair sun-soaked sonics, indie-rock DNA and timeless storytelling into a sound that feels like the next chapter of the folk and rock icons who came before them, while remaining uniquely their own. Now based in Nashville, Bryce and Kellen have honed their craft as songwriters, serving as the sole writers for the majority of their catalog and grounding Marfa’s music in their own experiences. KCRW praised the duo for making “music that ties Laurel Canyon to West Texas,” while Billboard highlighted their range from Everly Brothers-inspired folk-pop to buzzy Americana-rock, calling their music “daring, unpretentious and commercially accessible.” Ones To Watch praised their “commitment to storytelling,” while Westword named them “Best Breakout Folk Duo.” Signed to Big Machine Records/ASCEND Music, Marfa has built momentum with songs including breakout track “Daisy,” closing in on 10M streams, “Run For My Money” and “If It Ain’t You.” Their upcoming project, produced by Ryan Marrone (Sabrina Carpenter, JP Saxe), opens the door to a bigger, more cinematic chapter.
