SXSW 2026: Dylan Earl

This artist is playing the Paste party on Saturday. He'salso playing White Horse on Thursday and maybe even Friday. They haven't released times for those yet.

Paste says:

Before the half-Cajun Earl became one of country music’s most vital voices, he was raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana. After his parents’ divorce, he convinced his dad to send him away to a school in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Two weeks later, Hurricane Katrina hit and he was shipped back to Lake Charles. It wasn’t long before Katrina would reach Louisiana and, to prevent Earl from missing the school year, he wound up in Subiaco, Arkansas—a priory with a population of about 600, founded as a monk-missionary settlement in the 1800s and named by Pope Leo XIII after an Italian city where St. Benedict started his first monastery. It’s a place Earl wants to protect in his music, making mention of it for a select group of people. 

Good country music.  

"White Painted Trees" is a throwback.

So is "Outlaw Country". Listen to the lyrics. 

This was my favorite.

I like him. And right on Dylan giving the fascist authority the big middle finger. Did you watch until the end? "A whipass video by Jonathan Terrell."
