Sounds LikeFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!!!!! FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: William at FEA Records & Production (916-599-1446) or at info@fearecords.com. VETERAN ROCK MANAGER CHRISTENS LOCAL “THE REAL DEAL”.............. Sacramento’s BILLY BLACKBURN, already being dubbed “Nor Cal’s Bad Boy,” has just released his debut album, “Defiant,” and the praises are pouring into the city that gave birth to Tesla and Cake before him. "Billy is the real deal,” announced John Hartman, Former Manager of The Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Country has fallen in love with Rock and that has totally revitalized it. Billy's style is leaning a step harder. If he takes the leap and creates his own genre, he will be a superstar.” Hartman is right, as Blackburn effortlessly melds influences as varied as Metallica and Johnny Cash. What really sets him apart though, is his way with the pen. Blackburn is a singer/songwriter with old school talent that will remind you of the aforementioned Cash, as well as Bob Seger, Hank Williams Jr. and Matchbox 20. “It’s a unique and original blend of Hard Rock and Country that bleeds with heart and passion. Billy is an amazing wordsmith with the ability to paint a lyrical picture and then yank you inside of it. I couldn’t stop listening,” said Hartman. Produced by Billy and Jay Trammel of Fat Cat Recording, “Defiant” was carefully crafted during a year and a half of hard work. The album quickly became an underground hit on the Internet and was already a popular download before the CDs were pressed. The CD is a polished work, reflecting both Blackburn’s passion and Trammel’s extensive professional experience combined with their attention to detail. The beginning of the first track, 69 Chevelle – Part 1, is sure to command your attention, or more appropriately, yank you in by the throat! From the first time you hear the provocative intro, you can’t help being momentarily paralyzed as you feel like you were just thrown into the new Quentin Terrantino film. It’s a song based on a true story and it rips with attitude! He was also able to add a second part to the tune, track 12, that seamlessly finishes the album, something that one of the old Pink Floyd records would have done. Other tracks on the record that have good Rock Radio potential are: “I Belong to the Road”, a self inflicted reminder of Billy’s dream, “What You Had”, a tune about infidelity and betrayal, the harder and more aggressive “Bring the Pain” which was written specifically for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and his cover of the timeless classic seventies rock tune “Bad Company” is…I hate to say it, but…badder, ballsier, and better than the original! One of the lighter, heart melting cuts on the album, and most likely the first single to hit the masses and Adult Contemporary Radio, is the sultry and undeniably catchy “Let Me”. This is the “panty dropper”! I can already see the crowds of women flinging them at the stage! With an assortment of melodic well crafted songs, picturesque lyrics, and that Voice, his debut is sure to capture the hearts of millions worldwide and already leaves me wondering… what do we get from him next? Blackburn’s most recent local show was a sold out huge success and is being followed up by a television performance on Good Day Sacramento, with his next show at Marilyn’s that same night at 10pm. Plans for a regional tour to support the album are in the works. You can visit Billy online at www.myspace.com/billyblackburn. His debut album “Defiant” can be purchased at www.billyblackburn.com and is also available at numerous retail locations including all Sacramento Dimple record stores, R5 Music and The Beat.

My band's got another show at club retro coming up this month on the 23rd!

Pre-sale tickets are $9, but it costs $12 to get in at the door.

It would be way cool if you came- the more ticket sales we get, the more likely we are to get more shows through this promoter in the future.

More information can be found here:

Anyway, let me know either way! You can text me or call me if you have any questions or what not (916)872-7343.
