Thursday, March 12th
Billy Shaddox and Wild Shiners
in concert at....
Jack Rabbits
1528 Hendricks Avenue
Jacksonville, Fla.
8:00 pm.
Billy Shaddox is blessed with the ability to blend the western dualities of coastal dreamer and high mountain drifter into his deep, easy flowing songs. This is modern American folk music with pop sensibilities.
Rooted in stories of love and fortune lost, perspective and enlightenment gained, Shaddox captures the mystique of the West with indelible lyrical imagery and sharply original musicality: the displaced modern man weary of coping with vanishing ideals, the present-minded realist, the uncontrollable jealousy of the downtrodden miner, and the bright-eyed morning traveler setting out to make his mark on the world.
The characters who inhabit Shaddox’ tales have a depth of personality and situational believability that leaves the listener feeling affected by their being long after their songs have woven their course.
“Golden Fate”, Shaddox’ newest record, builds on a strong decade of songwriting and musical performance that has now seen two solo records that easily fit into the Americana genre, along with four releases by his powerful, unheralded San Diego-based country-rock band Billy Midnight.
During his years as the front man and songwriter for Billy Midnight, Shaddox shared the stage with acts such as the Mother Hips, Dave Alvin, Los Lobos, Texas Tornados, Luke Bryan, and Roger Cline to name a few. He has been the recipient of the San Diego Music award for Best Americana multiple times, and his music has been featured in films by Dana Brown and Kenton Hoppas.
Please make plans to check out this special musical combo. Billy Shaddox brings a taste of California to the First Coast and those Wild Shiners, well we just luv em!!
HERE is a link for tickets and hope to see you there!!
