The Billy Sunday Band

About Me

Thinking man's Americana. Pretty and rough. Like an elegant pedicured foot in a comfortable old leather shoe. Make you cry. Get you laughing. Scare the piss out of you. Honest. No excuses.We stand in reverence on the backs of giants. We do our best to carry the flame that Woody lit and Bob Dylan kept burning so bright in our youth. Ours is the sound of bald tires on a back road to the party where you learned to dance. And kissed that girl. And got in that fight. We are a great speckled bird with Rock and Roll stuck in our craw. We live in the space between a hot Saturday night and a cool Sunday morning. We all grew up where Elvis drove a truck for money. And Hank used to play for whiskey.You hear it in the songs we sing. Our separate voices become some new greater thing. With words we hope ring true.

In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul,
