  • Bio

    dizzybloom was formed in Austin in March of 1995 by Billy R. Preston, Juliet Gamero and Stacey Evans. Steven Oakes joined the band as a permanent member in May of 1996. They all moved into a rented house together at 911 Duncan Lane in Austin near the UT campus and immediately began making plans to record an album. They spent over a year, off and on, recording at Congress House Studio in south Austin with producer Mark Hallman. The album was completed and released in May of 1997. Over the course of the next 12 months the band played shows constantly in cities such as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Lubbock, College Station, San Marcos, and of course, Austin, Texas. They had over a dozen radio interviews, had several record reviews in newpapers and music magazines throughout the state and sent out a newsletter to fans every three months. Even though the CD was available in over two-dozen record stores throughout Texas, it did not sell very well and economic pressures eventually caused the disintegration of the band. They played their final show together at Liberty Lunch in Austin, May 28, 1998. Juliet went on to finish her master's degree in music at UT Austin, and has held faculty positions in two different universities in Montana and in Utah. She continues to teach piano lessons to all ages and she raises four children with Billy in Utah. Billy obtained a master's in Forestry in Missoula, Montana, and currently holds a supervisor's position with the US Forest Service in Utah. Steven obtained a second bachelor's degree in computer science, to go along with his bachelor's in business from UT Austin, and eventually took a job with the Hewlett Packard Company in the Dallas area. Stacey continued to pursue her musical career in Hollywood after a brief stay in Boise, Idaho. She released a solo album "A Slender Thread" in 2005 and still writes and records music and performs the occasional live show.
