The Ransom Brothers with Taylor Graves & The Tombstone Trio

What began as two acquaintances with shared taste in guitars and vinyl records, has evolved into a collision of Classic Southern Rock and Outlaw Country Music. Singer/songwriter Sean McHargue and guitarist Daniel Solis have joined to form The Ransom Brothers, an Austin-based duo that blends haunting and accessible lyrics with gritty, saturated guitar tone.

They draw their influence from legends such as Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Pink Floyd, as well as modern icons like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, and Whiskey Myers. While they make a concerted effort to honor the pioneers that paved the road before them, they have every intention of going off the beaten path and creating their own image and sound as stand alone, one-of-a-kind artists.

Whether you’re enjoying a night out in the Live Music Capital of the World, or passing through a Texas college town, keep an ear to the ground and be on the lookout for The Ransom Brothers.

Taylor Graves is a Singer/Songwriter and American Idol Hollywood Week finalist based out of College Station, Texas blending the likes of new school folk country with the sultry soul of the classics we all know and love.

Taylor writes her music with the intention of allowing the listener to take a look into her soul. She sees the world through music which allows her to take you on a visual journey through each song. Among her own life experiences, Taylor finds her inspiration in movies and the stories people choose to share with her. “When I write, I FEEL the words that emerge on the page. It’s more than telling a story… it’s living the story every time I play the song”
