MEMPHIS!  We’re coming to GETCHA!!

Reno Blues Society 2012 International Blues Challenge nominees The Hellbusters doing “Come Back In” at the RBS IBC Send-Off Show 1/29/2012.

More updates from the road, brothers and sisters.  We leave in the morning

Thanks to talented Hellbusters staff photoshopper/bodyguard/driver/minister of quan/ade-de-camp Brian Heward, we’re always ready to answer this call.  Always.

Here’s a music video and article I made about the Hellbusters’ trip to the (world-famous whorehouse) Mustang Ranch in Nevada for Street Vibrations in September. Now playing at the Good Men Project. You can watch and comment if you like, and download a free mp3 live version of “Sin Responsibly”. Please check it out. It’s PG-13.

We’re done with our run of recent shows and it was really great!  We get, like, two weekends off or something, then we’re going to crash the RBS MASH Bash again in November… and I have some plans for an online concert.  Check back for details on that.  Meantime, we’re gonna rest our banjo-playing for a bit. :)

We appreciate your support if you can make any or all of these, and your good wishes if you can’t, but most of all: we appreciate you.

Also: I believe the above picture is the greatest of all the pictures I have encountered on the Internet.

The Hellbusters are the solo/duo winners for the 2011 Get ‘Em To Memphis contest sponsored by the Reno Blues Society!  We’ll be moving on to the Blues Foundation International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN at the end of January!

I’ve posted a new song, new video, and new story about $1 bets, friendship and my father in law over at the Good Men Project.  There is also a free, downloadable and non-copy-protected .mp3 version for you to get, too.  Click over, watch, download, and leave a comment if you like it. It’s pretty good.

My guitar case.

Show coming up!  Hellbustin’ for Cause: We’re appearing at Urban Beets (50 N. Sierra St.) with Tyger, Roger Rhythm and Roy Delaine Moore to benefit Northern Nevada NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Show starts at 8pm, Wed May 4. $5 donation gets you in, we’ll take it from there. :) Come see the show and help some people who need it.

HELL WILL BE BUSTED

We’re playing Saturday April 16 at the 32nd Annual Tattoo Association’s event at John Asquaga’s Nugget.  We’ll start about noon and we’ll play until we can’t go anymore.  You can come see us and learn about tattooing and maybe get one.  There will be lots of people there from all over the world.  They’ll all be nice and fun and freaky.  Hell will be busted.  Oh yes, baby, hell WILL be busted! :)
