New Year...New Band...New Record


2013 is here Kettleheads. As we told you on New Year's Day, Jen Lowe has temporarily lost her mind and joined the Kettle Drum for our new adventure. We are completely stoked about this as she is a badass percussionist with as much talent as she has attitude;) We are all currently in Nashville with our producer, Stephen Gause, recording the new EP. The songs are stellar. We have written, re-written, re-rewritten and then re wrote that! 4 of the 6 tracks on the EP were co-written with Marty Dodson. Marty is a hit-making machine with cuts by Carrie Undwerwood, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, and a ton of other incredible artists. It appears that the new year is blessing this band from the start!


We can't wait to get this new music in your hands so you can tell your friend's, neighbor's, cousin's uncle who likes our type of making noise...

Soon friends...very soon...

Peace, Love and Boom Boom,

BKD
