Billy Bourbon Show-12

July 2nd, 2008

Slightly different format for the show this episode. Today I’m presenting songs from around the country and the world. These are all original songs by indie artists, that for the most part, fit into the Americana Music catagory. I’m a big supporter of songwriters and these artists are very good at what they do. Hope you like the show. If you’re an artist and want your music featured contact me at billybourbon@comcast.net .

Here are the Artist Links:

Billy Bourbon Show-11

June 27th, 2008

Since it so long between shows last time, I decided to do another one right away. Especially since we had a guest artist in the area. Jesse Holcomb, from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina was visiting and performing at Mother’s Speakeasy so we captured one of his original songs…didn’t catch the title, but he called it Beth’s song…Also from that night Wed Jun 25 2008 two new originals from yours truly.

 Always looking for guests with original music and something to say.

Billy Bourbon Show-9

May 29th, 2008

This episode is an interview with Texas Music Awards “Song of the Year” recipient, Mark Zeus. You can find out more about Mark and hear more Mark Zeus music at markzeus.com   and/or   myspace.com/markzeusmusic . We discuss the music business, how to make a living doing what you love, songwriting technique, and lots of other things, including Jinelle and Lucky Boyd, the TMAs and more…plus we play three Mark Zeus originals. Kind of embarrassing for me at the end, my phone battery started to beep and we kind of had to wrap it up - still we got on a 47 minute show.

If you are an recording artist and you’d like to be a guest on my show, contact me at xxbillybourbon@comcast.net (REMOVE THE XX’S THEY’RE THERE TO PREVENT SPAMMERS)

Billy Bourbon Show-8

May 5th, 2008

Friday May 2nd, 2008, Tom Rodgers and I were invited to perform in Jewett TX as the opening act for Shake Russell. Larry and Virginia Robertson host the House Concert and it was a lot of fun! We recorded with the assistance of Scott Serafin (sound engineer).  Shake gave me permission to record him as well, and agreed to be a guest on my show. That’ll be on a future show. Show #8 is Tom and I playing for an enthusiastic crowd…and a train about every 15 mins.

P.S. Shake Russell went to the Texas Music Awards Show in Palestine TX the next day (May 3rd) and won both Vocal group of the Year and Entertainer of the Year.
