With musical roots in the country music mecca of Bandera, Texas, Ben "Mr. Benny" Guajardo spent years making a name as a touring and studio musician across Texas to Southern California and back again before opening independent label Southtown Records in San Antonio. After relocating back home to Texas from Los Angeles, Ben teamed up with brother Luis Guajardo and longtime collaborator Brian Carlisle to form The Dirty Pretties.

Now based in Austin, TX, The Dirty Pretties have released two albums on Southtown Records to date, with a 3rd slated for early 2026. The Dirty Pretties have a near-constant touring schedule, stopping in your town to boogie it down with their blend of Texas Blues, Classic Country and high-energy Rock and Roll. Inside or out, we're all a little dirty, but thatdoesn't mean we aint all pretty.
