About the Artist
From Baltimore, Md to Central Texas, Arty Hill packs the bars and dance floors with his unique brand of modern Honky Tonk. He sings with an "'everyman' quality…reminiscent of Johnny Cash." (Vintage Guitar Magazine). His songs - marrying the soul of classic country with the wry storytelling of Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt - have been recorded by the Grammy-nominated Kenny and Amanda Smith Band, Alt-Country pioneer Jason Ringenberg, Rockabilly Queen Bee Marti Brom, and Austin’s Texas Sapphires, among others. His recordings have topped the FAR (Freeform American Roots) chart, and his songs have appeared in television shows and the movie "I Don't Feel At Home is this World Anymore".
Arty is also co-founder of the Hank Williams Songwriting Workshop in Montgomery, AL, and has been an instructor at the Augusta Heritage Center's Classic Country Week in Elkins, WVa. Arty and his top-notch band, the Long Gone Daddys have recorded 10 CDs full of original music,and can be heard live in bars and dance venues throughout central MD and Austin, TX.
