“What I’m doing as an artist has some of those elements of Brit rock like a Morrissey or Freddy Mercury, but it has more variety, more of a tip of the hat to my Texas roots along the lines of rhythm and blues, Roy Orbison, and a little Freddy Fender,” says Angel.

Blue Water Highway comes from the working class, coastal town background that has informed the work of so many of rock’s greatest writers and artists.  They take their name from the roadway that links their hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas to Galveston, where the cops, the teachers, the baristas and the chemical plant workers travel to work hard and to play hard, blowing off steam, dancing to their favorite bands. Blue Water Highway’s music is the soundtrack for their lives.

“Best Friend” is the first single from their upcoming album Heartbreak City, coming out on Blue Water Highway Records/Thirty Tigers on June 8th. With a hook that’s a mile wide, it chronicles the lives, loves and friendships that sustain us. Said lead singer Zack Kibodeaux, “We wrote this as a band, and we wanted to tap into that feeling of that special friendship where you know you can count on one another. Even though I wrote characters that are not the band members, our relationship definitely informed the writing of the lyrics.”

Blue Water Highway was started by two best friends from high school - Kibodeaux (lead vocals, guitar) and Greg Essington (guitar). They were later joined by Catherine Clark (keyboards), Jared Wilson (drums) and Kyle James Smith (bass). They will be touring relentlessly to support Heartbreak City, so look for them in a town near you soon.

I'm an independent recording & performing artist in Nashville, TN. I write songs about life and love, friendship and the road. I'm endorsed by McPherson Guitars and am blessed to have my husband and sister involved in my band. I love to write and perform, and I love how music brings people together who would never have a chance to meet otherwise. It's a beautiful way to make sense of feelings and emotions, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.
