Music and Passion.

It's all coming.

After 8 years of playing, writing and being best friends Brant and JT have teamed up with Jen Lowe to Record Nantucket Circle.  With Stephen Gause at the Helm of the Recording and Producing we are excited about what is about to be released on June 4th.

"It's easy to make records these days" I hear this all the time.  With the fall of the major Label and distribution available to anybody with a computer and garage band the playing field has been leveled.   It has to a certain extent, but with all the freedom to create, release and get distribution EVERYBODY can put out a record.  This does not make it easy.

BKD  has created a record that were proud of.  We are excited for you to listen and be moved by the music.  This is where it gets tough.  We need you.  We need any and all of our friends, fans, acquaintances to tell their friends, fans and acquaintances about our new record.  Nantucket Circle   
If your on twitter come follow us. TWITTER  and Like Us on FACEBOOk.


With all that said. We're one of the million bands Releasing music in the world.  What is it gonna take to make our Record Stand out?  YOU!  Pre-Order from Itunes Nantucket Circle this will help us chart and give us a leg up from the other 999,999 bands releasing music on June 4th.  The Pre-Order Price is only $2.99 and we understand that hardly anybody pays for music in this new musical frontier, but at $2.99 Your helping us turn heads of people we don't have contact with.

This year it's all coming.  Brant, JT and Jen are at a place where our music is going to be heard. Maybe on the Radio, possibly in a Movie, might even be on TV from week to week. We will be playing in places and for people we've never had the opportunity to play for.  We will be playing in other countries and people will be singing our songs.

This is exciting.
Thanks to all our friends, our fans our acquaintances our families for supporting us making what we do all that more meaningful.

Florida Tour CANCELLED

Kettleheads,
Due to the illness of Brant's son, Theo, we have had to cancel the Florida Tour for Feb/March. Theo is still recovering from a bone marrow transplant and landed in ICU with lung complications. Theo is a fighter and has pulled through the hardest part but isn't out of the woods yet. Brant obviously needs to be by his son's side. We love the fact that so many of you have reached out with prayers and positive thoughts to us. We walk through this valley not just as a band but as a family. You are all part of that family and we thank you for helping to shoulder such a burden.

We are planning to be back on tour in April as long as Theo's recovery continues. The good news is the new record will be out by then so we will expect you all to be singing the songs at the shows.

Thanks for being such a strong community. We love you.

Brant, JT & Jen - BKD

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
