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.

{1973}
Country-rock/Alt-country pioneer/originator Gram Parsons of the Byrds and Flying Burritos, dies under mysterious conditions in Joshua Tree, California. His death at first is attributed to heart failure but later is officially announced as due to a drug overdose. His coffin is stolen by two of his friends, manager Phil Kaufman and Michael Martin, a former Byrds roadie, and it's taken to Joshua Tree where it's set afire to fulfill Gram's wishes. The two are picked up by police and the only charge that sticks is theft of the coffin itself as there is no law against stealing a corpse. Gram Parsons was just 26.
