THE PETTY BONES
Acoustically based multi-instrumentalists, with emotionally charged songwriting and vocals, The Petty Bones continue to deliver a variety of rootsy original, traditional & cover tunes to an ever increasing group of loyal listeners from all ages and backgrounds.
Since their beginning as a duo, Jerry and Anne shared roadhouse floors, stages, live radio and studio session time with many artists including Big Daddy O, The Benji Davis Project, Bonnie Bramlett, The Olivier's, Chris Thomas King, Colin Linden & the legendary Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown.
Drawing from an array of rock influences of their generation, as well as the traditional acoustic sounds of Appalachia, Folk, Blues, Country and Ragtime, the duo began hosting Birdie's Roadhouse Open Mic in 2002 and continued through 2008. An experience they attribute to their continuing development as "late blooming" performer's, while jamming weekly with the some of the region's most talented player's, both amateur and professional.
During the spring of 2004, the Jerry & Anne officially named themselves The Petty Bones and released their debut Cd, PINE. The Cd has been featured on Roots/Americana Radio worldwide, where it continues to reach new listeners. Recorded in Hattiesburg, Mississippi & Bogalusa, Louisiana, PINE was engineered and co-produced by Steve Stubblefield-STARLINGS,TN-Between Hell and Baton Rouge (ChickenHouse Records).
In September 2004, California native, Harvey Jones, began playing regularly with the duo, and in 2007, visual artist, Charles MacGowan, joined in on bass guitar, allowing the group to expand their multi-instrumental talents on guitar, mandolin, dobro, fiddle, banjo and piano. Recent performances have also included Jude Leblanc (dobro), Spider Murphy (tenor banjo & guitar) and John Markezich (fiddle).
The Petty Bones are currently the House Band for the The Abita Springs Opry (formerly The Piney Woods Opry).
With it's dedication to the preservation of Louisiana Roots music, the show is presented six times per year featuring a variety of Roots Music, with television/radio re-broadcasts on several public access networks throughout the United States.
Along with the Opry's Executive Producer - Bryan Gowland and Technical Director - Kent Birkle, The Petty Bones recently presented a series of historical "informances" in conjunction with the Smithsonian's Institute's traveling exhibit - New Harmonies-Celebrating Roots Music in America.
The series was presented in St. Tammany Parish's Middle Schools and also at the New Harmonies opening receptions in Abita Springs & Ruston, Louisiana.
Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman

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

Charles Dickens began pasting labels on blaking pots. The tragedy of his first love penetrated the depths of his soul, and converted him into one of the world's truly great authors. That tragedy produced, first, David Copperfield, then a succession of other works that made this a richer and better world for all who read his books. Dissappointment over love affairs, generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this because most people never never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.
