Influences
Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe etc.
The story starts in 1986 when a group of friends, all living in Ulefoss, Norway, started a band called Country Canal. Later the name was changed to The Big Bull Band and today Hans Olaf Kastodden is the last of the original members.
The BBB has performed at different venues all around Norway and Denmark during all this time. They have been known as performers of the so-called “Outlaw style”, introduced by Waylon Jennings in the 70’s. The band is influenced by artists like Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and of course Waylon Jennings.
In 2005 they released their first album, called “A tribute to Waylon Jennings”, featuring their favourite Waylon recordings. They got great reviews from many parts of the world.
In the spring of 2008 The Big Bull Band will release their second album. This time with mostly original music composed by the band-members. In February 2008 they produced the video “Our Own Way” which is the title track of the CD. The video is also a part of CD.
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
