We have some awesome music news for you today dear readers, already festival headliners in their native USA, and with a string of Billboard top 20 Rock and Country singles under their belt, Hillbilly Vegas are to bring their special blend of Southern Rock and Country Boogie to this side of the Atlantic.
Teaming up with Conquest Music, the band will release their new album in October on CD, Vinyl and Digital. As an appetiser, they have released a 5 track Digital EP “Greetings From Hillbilly Vegas” which is out now.
The EP leads with ‘High Time For A Good Time’, which has more Southern swagger and charm that the last four Black Crowes albums combined. ‘Hell To Pay’ is a good old, no-nonsense boogie like AC/DC used to make. Both of these rode high in the Billboard Rock Charts and will be on the new album.
The final three tracks are live favourites and demonstrate the breadth of talent and humour in Hillbilly Vegas.
1 High Time For A Good Time
2 Hell To Pay
3 Field Fulla Hillbillies
4 Losin’ To Win
5 Mason Jars And Moonlight
The band released their first song just a few months after their first jam session at Ringo Manor. A local DJ played that song during his air shift and then it got weird. A Nashville record executive was driving through the area at the very moment that the local DJ was playing that first Hillbilly Vegas song. He called the station and just an hour later they were offered a record deal. That fast! Yes, the band is aware that happens to be one of the subplots in the movie Wayne’s World but it happened. Just like that!
Since that wild day, the band has charted 5 country singles, along with 2 top 10 and 3 Billboard top 20 rock singles. HOLY CROSSOVER!
So now well established in the USA, it’s high time to introduce Hillbilly Vegas to the rest of the World.
This debut EP, ‘Greetings From… Hillbilly Vegas’ features two songs from their forthcoming album, plus 3 tried and tested live favourites.
Expect Southern Rock, Americana, Country Crossover and a whole lot more. No one genre is enough to describe the breadth of music and talent that Hillbilly Vegas deliver.
Sure to be in demand across Europe on the festival circuit, the band plan to hit the stages over here in 2023.
