Blue Ridge Strangers

The Blue Ridge Strangers are a Chicago duo specializing in rockabilly & honky tonk. Our first release, Cool as Lightnin' is available at CDBaby.com. Individual tracks are now available for download at Indiestarsearch.com.Happy 2007 to everyone!Peter & I are very gratified at the response we've gotten so far from the people who've heard the CD. Thanks to everyone who's bought it or purchased tracks via download. We've been getting lots of spins on RockabillyRadio.net and some other terrestrial radio stations including Go Kat Go in Connecticut. There's awesome indie rockabilly on both these stations- RockabillyRadio.net is a 24/7 webcast, and if you don't live in Connecticut you can listen to Go Kat Go at their website when the show's on the air. Check it out. If you're a rockabilly fan and you haven't tuned these stations in, then you're really missing something.On a slightly different note, there's a new Blue Ridge Strangers song on a new CD from NBT Records in West Virginia. If you're a singer/songwriter and you've been around for awhile you might be familiar with the ongoing train series from NBT. Peter & I were glad to contribute a track cowritten with our friend, Bert Swanson. My hat's off to our friends over there in West Virginia-"Ride the Train" volumes 17 & 18 is a beautifully packaged 2 CD set of music from a truly international group of artists. It'll be distributed everywhere, (I'm told) and soon as we find out who's got it, we'll post it here and on BlueRidgeStrangers.com.Hopefully we'll be able to do some live dates in the near future. Unfortunately, due to real-life commitments we haven't been available to do any gigs recently, so we've had to decline a few people who asked about live shows-including a rockabilly festival in France. We've always wanted to do something like that, so I hope the opportunity will come up again in the future.Have a great year!Check out our website at www.BlueRidgeStrangers.com.
