Make sure you book the evening off and come enjoy some good ole’ country tunes with me, The Stellas, and Deric Ruttan! Check out the details on KX947′s website here.

What a fantastic week! I did some welding on my good friend’s exhaust, fixed a few VWs, and even found time to take extra guitar lessons. The week finished off with a bang, as I had the opportunity to perform my music on Friday afternoon, using some of the guitar tricks I’ve learned.

I played an afternoon set at the Degroote School of Business to kick off the line up release party for Burlington’s Sound Of Music festival. Then me and the boys performed a really high energy set in the evening. My bandmates call themselves Ugly Dog, and for good reason LOL. Thank you to the guys for making me sound great. You rock…country style!

I hope you can pop in again soon, and see what I’ve been up to. We have new videos being added, and more announcements for upcoming shows. This summer promises to be very exciting and I want to share with you what’s going on in my career since you’re the reason I’m doing this! Don’t forget to add me on Twitter and tweet me @BillyJWMusic. I’m there every day, and I love to hear from my fans.

Yeehaw,

Billy J.

Hi again, everybody! It’s so nice to be out in the warm spring weather, writing this note.

The birds are really singing up a tune, the Cicadas have chimed in, and the Canada Geese are joining in from afar.

Mom is out here, humming a tune I can’t quite make out, while she weeds the flower bed.

Now this is what I call Country Music! Sitting here on the back deck, taking in the warm sunshine, and the smells, and sounds of a great spring afternoon, just put me at an ease that reminds me of being a little boy. I guess really, anytime I am around Mom, I feel like a little boy again.

Maybe that’s why Mothers Day is in May, to remind us of new beginnings, and being young.

Enjoy the weather everyone, and make sure you take extra time to wish your Mom, a very happy Mothers Day.

Love You Mom.

“Pure disbelief came to mind when Billy J. White opened his mouth to sing. He’s from Burlington, Ontario? More like Nashville, Tennessee! Not a lot of Canadian artists can carry off the southern drawl like White did that evening.

Seeing the line-up for the first time, the artists on the docket seemed to have very little in common and perhaps stylistically that is true. As the night went on however, their close interaction with each other and the audience proved this gathering to be a perfect meld of creativity, artistry and togetherness.”
