I'm on the Artists To Watch list on Reverb Nation for 2018. KB/BW are now on Radio Avenue, http://www.radioavenue.com and are currently getting request airplay for Mother Road at Radio 440. The link for it is: http://radio1.440music.com:2199/start/pop. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to visit this page, and especially anyone who buys our CD or individual tracks at CD Baby (see link below). I've played guitar since 1964, have been writing songs since 1966 and started playing with Beats Workin' in 1968. We got together at Twin Lakes WI just north of Chicago IL where our families all had summer homes. We recorded my first original song in 1971, I Feel Better Than You. We were playing Rock and Blues-R&B at this time, Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, CCR, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After, the Beatles, and lots of Chicago Blues ala Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Magic Sam, Howlin' Wolf, etc. In the late 70's I branched into Country music and Bluegrass, while still maintaining my interest in the Blues. I always had an interest in Country music, and the Urban Cowboy craze ca. 1980 created a lot of gigs. In 1985 I moved to Albuquerque NM with my wife Barbara and have been a fixture in the NM Country scene since then, with extensive work at the Caravan East, an iconic Country nightclub seen in my profile picture, often as house band, and warming up for numerous Country artists , including Asleep At The Wheel, Ray Price, Gene Watson, Razzie Bailey, Eddy Ravin, Neil McCoy, Jason D. Williams and others. In 2010 Beats Workin' recorded our album 24/7, and it is currently available @ CD Baby. I also have several videos on YouTube including Mother Road, I Don't Need No Blues, Mother Earth Is Blue and a Christmas Blues called Merry Christmas Baby. My music is a blend of Blues, Country and Rock primarily, but also is influenced by other American genres like Bluegrass, Cajun-Zydeco, Reggae, Jazz and Tex-Mex. I am  BMI artist.
