Small Town Nation emerged from the Spokane/Deer Park area in the early 2000s, founded by two Deer Park High School graduates who built a tight-knit indie rock project with deep local roots. Known for energetic live shows and a strong DIY ethic, they quickly carved out a niche in the Inland Northwest music scene. Their work includes the 2010 album There’s Something About Larry and the EP Battle Cry of the Lost Boys, which features the notable track Carpe the Diem featuring Mike Herrera of MXPX. The band earned recognition as Bloomsday Best Entertainer in 2010 and 2011, reflecting their impact on local audiences. While their last known activity was a New Year’s Eve reunion show at Knitting Factory Spokane in 2016 and they officially disbanded by 2017, Small Town Nation left a lasting imprint on Spokane’s music landscape. Here you’ll find a concise bio, discography highlights, and information about their past and potential future live appearances, along with where to follow the members’ projects.
