Greenfest Artist Preview: The Bigsbys

The Bibsbys are proudly continuing the tradition of the southern/roots rock resurgence in Texas currently being led by Whiskey Myers. Raw, bluesy and full of emotion, this is a band blasting out heartfelt lyrics backed with the crunch of Gibson firepower. Fresh and real. They never let the intensity overrun the emotion. As they said about themselves “gritty, but easy on the ears.” That’s about right. These boys bring a young edge to a style of music that can grow stale in the wrong hands. We are glad to have them kicking off Greenfest Saturday. Get there early to see one of the next big things in Texas Music.

The artist formerly known as Johnny Cougar, a little known singer with little success as performer, sees his composition "I Need a Lover" become a smash for Pat Benatar. This kicks off a rise to his career with "Hurts So Good." It enters the pop charts at #83 and will make it to #2. The song "Jack and Diane" and the album from which the tunes came from, American Fool, both go to number one. One of John Mellencamp's favorite producers Don Gehman goes on to work on Pat Green's "Wave on Wave" album.
