The members of BCB have been in the music scene in various bands for over the last 7 years. They had known each other for quite some time when the time finally came that each member was available to start a new band. Each member jumped at the opportunity to start the new group and BCB was born. Within the first couple of practices, it was quite obvious something was there. Shows have been pouring in and BCB have been a gigging machine over the last 2 years. It's projected that by the end of 2007, BCB will have played well over 250 shows within the year and it doesn't appear that they are slowing down going forward into 2008.
BCB describes their sound as Oklahoma Beer Joint Music. It doesn't matter if these guys are playing a Honky Tonk or a Country club, there will be some partying going on! You'll hear hints of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard accompanied by dashes of Tom Petty, ZZ Top, and The Rolling Stones. BCB uses those influences to create a new, but classic sound to their original music. In Oklahoma BCB have been lumped into the Red Dirt scene, but these guys are truely Americana Country.
In the short year and a half BCB have been together, they've already played shows with David Allen Coe, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, Reba McEntire, Big & Rich, Ronnie Milsap, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Bird, Phil Vassar, Larry Gatlin, The Kentucky Headhunters, Joe Diffie, Trent Thomlinson, Aaron Tippin, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Dale Watson, Wayne "The Train" Hancock, The Derailers, Back Porch Mary, Jackson Taylor, No Justice, Blue Edmondson, Eli Young Band, and Kevin Fowler. With more attention getting shown to BCB, look for them to be playing with more big name bands in the near future. Also look for the release of their new cd, TALL, after the first of the year.
