KUTX Presents: Sentimental Family Band, March 2024 Artist of the Month

It’s been a while since Austin has been known as an exclusive country music town, but that certainly doesn’t mean the music has vanished. It’s too ingrained in the dirt and fabric of Texas life, and in every generation, it seems to bubble back up like oil from the ground.

Camille Lewis, Kyle Albrecht and Matthew Shepherd are the songwriters and backbone of the Sentimental Family Band, a fixture of the Austin scene since 2019. Augmented by various lead players, they’ve filled the dance floors at the Sagebrush and White Horse, and more recently, Thursday nights at Sam’s Town Point, with their takes on country classics. Slowly, their originals began to creep into the set. Last summer, they released the single “Face To A Name”, and their full-length debut, Sweethearts Only, drops on March 29th.
