Rich Layton & Tough Town are keepers of the flame for American roots music. It's high octane swamp rock, country, rockabilly and the honky tonk blues echoing from an East Texas roadhouse. The band has a signature sound that sits right alongside such eclectic artists as Marty Stuart, Shooter Jennings and Lukas Nelson. Each set takes audiences for a ride from Sun Studios to Chess Records, and Muscle Shoals to Bakersfield. Rich's original songs fit seamlessly into the mix, weaving his Gulf Coast roots through tales of rock and roll redemption, harmonica-fueled and swampified.
Together over a decade now, the band has released three albums and performs at major festivals and showcase clubs throughout the Northwest. Each year, Rich joins Lyle Lovett as a special guest when Lyle tours the NW. Rich also has played on Portland tour stops by his long-time friends Lucinda Williams, Buckwheat Zydeco (R.I.P.), Dale Watson and many more.
The Santa Maria native possesses a sincerity that translates to his songwriting. When he sings, you believe him, and you want to lean in and hang onto every word. It's this very quality that makes his songs feel so personal and captivating, as if he's singing them only to you. Beland makes music for the dreamers of the world- for the people who stare longingly out the passenger window on long drives and get lost inside their daydreams, for the people-watchers at the park, for the person sitting alone and journaling at the cafe, for the gardeners, collectors, and tender-hearted romantics.
