Known as "A Voice of Reason in Cyber-Western Entertainment," The Towne Dandies were originated in 1996 by Napa Valley artist Geoff Ellsworth and original member Steve McElroy, to create post-apocalyptic entertainment and art for the whole family (though not necessarily at the same time).

The group adjusts configurations and personnel as projects evolve, seeking to deliver "a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down." For more information see press and media.
