KEVIN ANTHONY & G-TOWN
Kevin Anthony & G-Town’s music is the kind you hear when you roll down your window on a warm day. It’s the music coming out of your dad’s old cassette player, the twang and fiddle pouring out an open door of a honky-tonk airing out in the afternoon, the polka and bass thump from a backyard barbecue. It’s the sound you hear when you open the door on a dingy looking bar in a gravel parking lot and are met with dust flying on the dance floor, the clink of beer bottles and the crowd roaring along with the band. It’s music sung in English, French and Spanish and it’s been around longer than lines have been on the map.

Quotes and Press
“Befitting a band from Galveston, Anthony and G-Town spoke all the musical dialects of the Gulf Coast, brackish musical waters, to say the least. In Choates they found a trove of great songs that did likewise.” - Houston Chronicle
“Choates has a lot of great songs, and we just want to do our part in making sure those songs get out and are still heard today.” - Texas Highways
"I’m continuing on the music path that I’ve been taking with previous albums by combining all of our unique Texas Gulf Coast influences such as Texas fiddle music, Tex-Mex, Cajun and whatever else comes to mind. I like to call it the ‘Gulf Coast sound.’” - Galveston County Daily News - PDF Here
"From the opening track, “Hey You,” it’s clear this is the kind of music you might accidentally find surfing backwoods radio stations on a Sunday morning drive across Texas. There is no alt-country here, just dust-stompin’ ballads that ring of yesteryear." - No Depression
"From the catchy and quirky Bacon Blues, to the sweet and sentimental Can’t Wait to Meet You written for his son, to the soulful Still that resounds with a cavernous yearning reminiscent of Pete Yorn, 45 Southbound is just like its creator. Simple in essence, but remarkable in what it has achieved." - Galveston Island Guide
