Greyhounds

Greyhounds is an Austin-based duo consisting of Andrew Trube and Anthony Farrell, active since 2000. Their sound identity is a sophisticated hybrid of blue-eyed soul, Southern funk, and Americana, often characterized by their use of vintage gear and analog recording techniques.

Historically, they spent years as a 'songwriter's band,' providing material for major blues-rock acts like Tedeschi Trucks Band before gaining wider recognition through their signing with the legendary Ardent Records. Their career arc shows a steady refinement of their 'Texas Soul' aesthetic, moving from the raw funk of their early independent releases to the polished, atmospheric soul of 'Change of Pace' and 'Cheyenne Valley Drive.' Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain a minimalist duo structure while achieving a rich, layered sound. They occupy a unique cultural position as bridge-builders between the traditional Austin blues-rock scene and the modern retro-soul revival, influenced as much by Buck Owens as by Bill Withers.
