HILLGRASS BLUEBILLY ENTERTAINMENT ( HBE ) WAS INITIALLY CONCIEVED SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER/ DECEMBER OF 2004. TWO 30 YEAR OLD MEN CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT THERE WAS ABOSLUTLEY NO STRUCTURE OR PASSION HARDLY LEFT IN AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC, MAN MUSIC (THAT THE WOMEN LOVE), AS IT PERTAINS TO MARKETING, PROMOTING AND MANAGING. TO HBE, ROOTS MUSIC STOMPIN’, BLOOD, BALLS, GRIT, HOWLIN’, YODDLIN’, TALENT & DETERMINATION. THE MUSIC WE REPRESENT HAS A GREAT DEAL OF PASSION ACCOMPANIED WITH IT, AND IF YOU ATTEND OUR EVENTS & LISTEN TO THE MUSIC WE BRING YOU, YOU WILL BELIEVE, AND YOU WILL DEFINATLY BE SAVED! WE AINT KIDS, AND WE AINT OLD MEN. WE HAVE A LOT OF PASSION ABOUT THIS, MAINLY BECAUSE, YOUR HARD-PRESSED GRANDPARENTS AND YOUR BEATLES AND ELVIS LOVING MOMS AND DADS, DIDN'T STEP UP. WE DON'T CHOOSE TO BE THE GUYS TO RUN HBE, WE ARE STUBBURN, WE BOOOOOO BAD MUSIC AND THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH ANY 20 MEN CAN DO TO STOP JUST ONE OF US. THATS WHY THERE IS HBE, THATS WHY HBE ROOTS ARE GROWING ACROSS THE WORLD.
HBE's MUSIC/MERCHANDISE STORE IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH LOOP, IN AUSTIN TEXAS, AND WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL THERE IS A DEMAND. WE HAVE MERCH AND MUSIC FOR THE BEST ROOTS MUSIC BANDS THAT ARE ALIVE AND TOURING. SHOW POSTERS, CD'S, VINYL, BUTTONS, COOZIES, T-SHIRTS, TRUCKER HATS. WE HAVE IT ALL! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT EITHER, UNLESS YOU HAVE ENOUGH PASSION TO CONTACT US AND LET US HELP YOU AND ADD TO YOUR MUSIC ROSTER IN YOUR HEAD. ITs NOT OUR "IDEA", AND ITs NOT LIKE WE ARE PULLING "THAT CARD". WE ARE HBE, AND WE KNOW WHAT THE FUCK WE ARE DOING. NOT REALLY, BUT IF WE PLAY OUR CARDS RIGHT, OUR IDEA JUST MIGHT PAN OUT FOR EVERYBODY.
OUR HEADQUARTERS IS IN AUSTIN TEXAS (ATX), HILLGRASS BLUEBILLY's HOME BASE IS LOCATED IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA (PHX) AND OUR NEWEST BRANCH IS LOCATED IN FT. WAYNE, INDIANA (FTW), AND CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE (TENN) ATX, PHX, FTW and TENN IS WHERE WE HOST OUR CONCERTS AND EVENTS. ALTHOUGH, WE REPRESENT OUR ARTISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE ARE EXPANDING! IF YOU'D LIKE TO HOST HILLGRASS BLUEBILLY CONCERTS AND EVENTS IN YOUR HOMETOWN, WRITE AND ASK US, TO FIND OUT HOW. CHANCES ARE, MOST OF YOU WILL BE TURNED DOWN, WE ARE LOOKING FOR FEW DEDICATED PROMOTERS WITH A GOOD EAR AND A STRONG GRASS ROOTS APPROACH TO LIVE CONCERTS AND EVENTS AND WAY OF LIFE (DIRTY FOOT FAMILY). PLEASE WRITE US HERE ON MYSPACE, AND WE CAN DISCUSS THE OPPURTUNITIES AND ADVANTAGES FOR YOU AND HOW YOU CAN GROW WITH HILLGRASS BLUEBILLY ENTERTAINMENT. AT THE END OF THE DAY, ITS NOT JUST MUSIC WITH HILLGRASS BLUEBILLY. THERE IS RAW ETHICS AND THERE IS A STRONG MORAL CODE, THAT MUST LIVE WITHIN. OUR FLAG IS FLYING HIGH, WE AINT HARD TO FIND.
