Indie, Alt country, americana

Paper Townes, led by singer and songwriter TJ Broscoff, is an Americana/Alt-Country band rooted in Rock, blending the grit of small-town Americana with the edge of late-90s alternative. The band name is a nod to the late Townes Van Zandt, but Paper Townes carve their own voice—resilient, lyrical, and unshaken. Their sound bridges haunting acoustic storytelling and electric urgency, channeling influences that range from heart-on-sleeve folk ballads to driving rock anthems. (Think: Counting Crows, Jason Isbell, Whiskey Town, The Cure.)

TJ has written 12 Top 15 singles, including two #1's on Billboard Regional charts. And while he is best known as a road-tested headlining performer, it's hard to look past the success of his songs garnering key placements in Radio, TV, and Film. Features in TV shows like "Eye For an Eye" (CW) and "Chris Kyle: American Sniper" (History Channel), as well as movies like "Mahjong and the West" and “The Last Fight” have lead to steady, organic audience reach and growth.

Whether in a small club or across festival fields, Paper Townes invites listeners into a world that feels lived-in and familiar—like pages from a worn map, marked by the ghosts and scars from places you never knew existed, but may never want to leave.
