Haystack Slim & The Broken Arrow are a Tacoma, Washington based band that mixes a broad base of influences into a fire and ice homebrew of classic country and rock n’ roll. They first formed in the spring of 2023 when eastern Oklahoma troubadour Haystack Slim joined with a new, high-powered backing band - comprised of Tacoma guitarist Ryan Finley, bassist Joe Filkins, and drummer Jay Montgomery - who perform with Haystack under the moniker The Broken Arrow. 

Haystack’s lyrics tell stories of addiction, love and heartbreak, and gutty Western heroes. The vocals are weaved into music rich with melodic hooks and dynamic progressions. The result? Songs that remind that country isn’t just about beer and backroads, and that rock & roll lives.
