How did this gang of hootenannies come together? Well what started as a bunch of friends playing music in a garage as a weekend hobby every weekend has now become the most riveting experience in the San Fernando Valley. These are the kinds of guys you’d expect to meet in some dive bar in a small Midwestern town or maybe a trailer park for that matter.

The Pilbilly Knights are a quirky soulful Silverlake based band led by Texas born front man Todd Lowe. as his alter ego “Randy Buth.” Two of the musicians are also actors Todd Lowe who plays Terry Bellefleur, and Sam Trammell who plays Sam Merlotte on the hit HBO series “True Blood.”
