Dylan Marlowe & Band Members Form New Group

Dylan Marlowe has formed a new group, 80 Acres, with his band members Christian Strahley, Ethan Leak, David Medlin and John Frisch.

While touring Marlowe’s country set, they found themselves slipping in covers of bands like Fall Out Boy and Blink-182 – music that influenced them since their earliest days. Later on, Marlowe, adopting a free-flowing creative approach, penned track, “Least You Could Let Me Do,” with Strahley, Leak, Medlin, and Frisch joining him in the studio to record the song. It became clear that the band had captured something worth exploring, and 80 Acres emerged. Today, April 8, they dropped their debut self-titled EP.

Marlowe penned all songs on the project, co-writing track “Mess We Made” which features Treaty Oak Revival, with guitarist David Medlin. Additionally, Marlowe co-produced the project with Ryan Youmans, working to bring the sound the band developed on the road to life.

80 Acres frontman Dylan Marlowe shared the group’s sentiments sharing, “It’s just freedom. It’s fun. It’s feeling like you’re 10 years old in your bedroom playing your guitar for the first time, learning the first song you ever learned or the first chord on your guitar. That’s how it felt making this music.”
