Footstompng Backwoods Americana - BLUBILLY: the mixing of bluegrass with good ole old time country and Appalachian hair of the dog Hillbilly dance music!
HLP performs an obscure repoirte of compositions written by all five musicians blended with material exhumed from musical tombs stretching from Appalachia to Memphis. From foot stompin old time fiddle tunes to sensitive (usually sad) ballads, HLP's music is anchored by powerful vocals backed by guitar, fiddle, mandolin, acoustic bass and drums.

I really like your songwriting style! If you need any help mixing or mastering your songs let us know. You can see our services by going to www.cybermixingstudio.com -Adam
Thanks for blowin' the roof off the Joining Fest! We can't thank you enough for the show you did. Great pickin'! We'll see you at "The Blowdown". Peace.
that sounds like a great plan! What a sweet place to hang out while travleling. Yeah we excited about it and having you all over to share your music at the picnic. Randy should contact Nate. I believe his number is on our profile.
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's free so...
To all who know the band... Come see them and crash on my Sofa...
hey Friends,
Just a little reminder for this coming Wednesday Night Feb 18th 9pm at the Mother Loaded Tavern in Breckenridge, CO
Please join myself an a BUNCH of our Mountain friends for a night of Backwoods Americana Music. If you don't know what that kind of music is then you might just have to get there extra early.
The HorseShoe Lounge Playboys are long lost friends of mine from years past. They found me on Facebook, Sent me their latest CD, and I got then a gig in town. I miss my old friends and would love to see you all join me in a Upstate New York Style HO Down.

Thanks for the add as we say here in the land of Oz. It's nice to see that Darin isn't just wasting his spare time. I REALLY like the noise you guys are makin'. If ya get a chance, check our videos. There's a fairly new one of your fiddler from this summer up on Rooney and an older Fetish Lane show that ain't too bad. Here's a shot of the boy at our wedding when he couldn't afford shoes. See ya at the Pourhouse.
