Comin in hot & heavy, our ranks are expanding at an alarming rate. Conceived in 2004 by proprietors Keith Mallette & Ryan Tackett, it is clear that the takeover has begun as we have opened 6 fully operational chapters throughout the United States & planted our shiny new headquarters deep in the heart of Austin Texas.

Please help spread the word of Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment by adding us in your top friends, reposting concerts & bulletins as it pertains to your region, even if you can’t make it to a particular concert or event, but support in general or simply throw one of our banners on your Myspace page. We may not be for everybody, but if you are NOT afraid of the truth, your heart WILL believe what we expose to your ears. Please remember, all of this is set into effect by it ONLY means, word of mouth & reputation, so we appreciate anything you can do.

In the current music market of the digital age, a breakdown of the ROOTS & AMERICANA movement has occurred. The white noise of cheap & accessible downloads has drawn a rift between artists, and their (would be) core audiences. It would seem as though no one is adventuring to listen outside their playlists. Hillgrass Bluebilly makes you listen! Rounding up an incredible line up of acts, ensuring if you are drawn to one, you’ll love the others, putting the hunger back into the listening experience & ever expanding our “Dirty Foot Family”. This is the NEW sound of the OLD ways, a rebirth of passion, conviction & instrumentation, an equality of sound and skill that isn't trying to sell you anything, just bringing TRUTH, back to its roots. We look around outside of Hillgrass Bluebilly, in our local bars and venues throughout all of our chapters and we see a pretty consistent theme at the shows in our communities. Same old...same old. No “real” organization or name to get behind, and not a whole lot of staying power in the memories of those that attend. Hillgrass Bluebilly is forging a new path. All you gotta do, is scan the eager faces at our concerts & events. It also serves to notice the sea of Hillgrass Bluebilly hats & shirts whose imagery is almost as loud as their wearers shouts of support echoing the thanks we get from the bands on stage and in interviews and small talk type situations. Slowly but surely, we will ultimately make the supply fulfill the growing demand our spreading reputation is creating.

Another outlet to create accessibility to our customers & clients is our involvement in film, television & radio. Several artists in the Hillgrass Bluebilly family have lent their talent to these mediums, the most recent being Slowboat Films: “The Folksinger” along with song appearances in the movie, “The Waitress” and television series such as “My Name is Earl” & “The Bounty Hunter” and live appearances on “The Jerry Springer Show”. Write Keith at keith@dirtyfootfamily.com if youd like to hire our services for finding you the right music for your movie or television series, special party or private event.

We have created something we had NO idea would come this far! A notion to throw a few good shows has turned into years of deliberation and a success rate that in no way reflects oue limited pallet of resources. Overall, there is no end to the possibilities rendered by a company like ours. We are set up to spider-web, creating Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment franchised chapters in every time zone in the U.S. eventually extending the mission abroad to European & Australian facilities.

Go ahead and ask anyone that knows. Hillgrass Bluebilly has their sleeves rolled up and are swingin big balls and clinched fists right smack dab in the middle of this fight. We are not sitting on a hilltop a few miles back, telling you how its goin down, while thumbing our butts. We have a very strong foothold on the movement, and invite you to march along side us. It doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you do it with all of your heart & conviction because its what you do, who you love & why you are here. Take stand & hold firm, there isn't 20 men alive that can stop one of us from doing what’s in our heart. All in all, if you aren't afraid of the truth, welcome. If you believe what you see & hear with Hillgrass Bluebilly, its because we aren't trying to sell you on anything. This is as stripped down and raw as it gets. We stand behind our efforts, our fans and aim to never let you down! Please write or call us with any questions, concerns or comments. If you made it through all this, go flag us on you chest and buy a shirt at www.dirtyfootfamily.com
