"Somewhere,
there is probably someone who lived in England in 1960 who turned
down a chance to go to The Cavern Club because he had never heard
of the band. "The band" in question was, of course, The Beatles.
They went on to have a bit of success in the music business; enough
success that the guy who didn't want to go see them play because
he had never heard of them is still kicking himself black-and-blue
40 years later. So when you're trying to decide whether or not
you want to drag yourself out to see some unknown play....just
remind yourself that every musician was once an unknown, and that
every musician who sells out arenas for hundreds of dollars per
ticket once played somewhere for under ten bucks. And someone
who paid hundreds of dollars to sit in the last row of an arena
once turned down the chance to sit on the first row of a small
venue for next to nothing. Don't be this person!" --Bailey
Jones from the Sundilla

BILLY
HARVEY
www.billharveymusic.com
With the release of his new album "The Everlasting War", Billy Harvey has clearly out done himself. This record teems with raw emotion and heartfelt sentiment so succinct it is impossible not to be affected by it. Harvey has a unique way of taking even the darkest of horizons and implanting the tiniest little sun so that the listener is sure to walk away with the hope of a new day. This record plays like a love letter.
To a girl, to himself, ultimately to us as we are invited to participate in the clear honesty of his words. Standout tracks include “Let This Be The Day”, “Mechanicsville” and “Holding The Horses”. Billy is in the midst of a life- changing experience traveling India and Morocco and his ever present writing and photographing each day will be part of a spectacular multi-media event upon his return. We are currently seeking media partners to tour this for you as well.
Current
tour dates:
- stay tuned, working on college dates for the record, film festivals, still picture shows and writing readings, Billy, his dream and your questions...
THE BLUEBONNETS
www.thebluebonnets.net
The BlueBonnets are:
KATHY VALENTINE - guitar & vocals
DOMINIQUE DAVALOS - bass & vocals
EVE MONSEES - guitar & vocals
KRISTY MCINNIS - drums & vocals
CLICK THE NAMES FOR INDIVIDUAL BIOS
Like a Texas-California combo plate, the BlueBonnets serve up a set of glamorous glitter blues rock complimented with layered girl group harmonies. There is a rough garage band energy to the songs, songs that are held together by tight arrangements and stylistic guitar interplay, solid grooves, and unforgettable melodies. The band formed in 2007, as a restructuring of a former line-up that began in Los Angeles in the 90's. When Kathy Valentine returned to live in her home town of Austin, she decided the city was the perfect place to re-introduce the band that she and Dominique Davalos had conceived when they first began their long musical partnership. The BlueBonnets put a feminine slant on on blues based rock n roll yet cannot fall neatly into any musical category. They have been chosen to share the bill with the royalty of Austin's music scene: Arc Angels, Bob Schneider, the Scabs, Jimmie Vaughan, Guy Forsythe, Storyville, Lou Anne Barton, and Carolyn Wonderland amongst many others. In 2010 the BlueBonnets will release their first ever CD and are surely set to be one of the star jewels in Austin's musical crown

Matt Hubbard wows audiences with his boogie-woogie piano, harmonica, trombone and baritone voice playing what the Austin Chronicle calls "back-alley beatnik blues."

RICHARD BARONE
www.richardbarone.com
We are planning a tour to include theaters, colleges, bookstores, rock clubs and hotels in every city in the US. Richard has a lot to promote. Being the frontman of a popular band is a high-risk profession. Richard Barone, acclaimed recording artist and former lead singer of indie rock pioneers the Bongos, has survived two decades in the spotlight to tell the tale. From dallying with the glitterati in the trendiest night spots, to learning recording tricks from some of the top names in the music industry, to innovating the intimate chamber-pop genre and emerging as an A-list solo artist and producer, he continues to push the boundaries of modern rock and inventive self-expression. In FRONTMAN, Barone tells his story in a frank and charmingly funny style. We are along for this ride as he recounts the supernova express of New York City stardom and endless parties; sexual politics, divas, disappointments, and drugs; his journey of self-discovery through music; and a lifetime's worth of hard-gained advice for anyone interested in getting into the music business or just surviving in it.
"This is a completely charming and witty look at the frontman phenomenon. It is written by a purist who tells you what it's like to be a true fan in love with the music who then becomes a frontman himself. A very warm and honest look at making and loving music."
--Lou Reed
"Whether fronting the Bongos or his own solo projects, Richard lives and breathes music, and has experienced the world. I've always enjoyed working with Richard and value his ideas and expertise on my own and other projects. Read this book!"
--Fred Schneider, The B-52's

“This boy-girl duo give me goosebumps with their lovesick punch. Two voices, drum machines, a guitar and a keyboard equal undeniable chemistry. It’s emotional without being in-your-face – almost like you’re eavesdropping on some pillow talk.” Quick DFW
“A sort of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah/Mazzy Star hybrid of sing-along folk, buzzy country-leaning tunes and uptempo/downtempo swings, with brilliantly unconventional songwriting and smart harmonies anchoring the whole deal.” Dallas Observer
