Big Kettle Drum to play Backline Music Festival w/Tonic

Big Kettle Drum (BKD) has signed on to play the Backline Music Festival in St. Petersburg FL on March 31, 2012. BKD will support headliner 'Tonic' at the festival as part of a Southeast swing on their 2012 tour.

Big Kettle Drum to release full-length album

Red Dirt rockers Big Kettle Drum (BKD) have finished their debut full length CD. The 10-track album is a mix of the foot-stomping blues and fist-pumping rock their fans have come to expect. Drawing on influences from the Black Keys and BRMC to Mumford and Sons, BKD has carved its own niche in the southern rock world. The CD will be available this spring.

Festival time for BKD

Hey Folks.  It's July 25th and it's time to Rock Gunstock Mountain in Gilford NH.  We will be taking the main stage just in front of "the almost" and then "Switchfoot" on Sat Aug 6th.  On Aug 5th we will be suitcase kicking in an outdoor tent around 6:30 and then at 10:30 in front of "the Wrecking" we will be Rocking the indoor stage (Mercy Street Cafe).  We have much music planned for your listening enjoyment.  New songs, old songs. We are bringing along our Little EP we recorded in Dec along with some Fresh Art painted by JT's Wife.  Some DIY homemade BKD and Big Kettle Drum shirts will not be in short supply, but get to us early, because were not making any on site.  (They will go quick). 

So this is a little update for all you BKD followers and web visitors.  We hope your summer has been full of pools, ice cream and all the stuff you do during the summer.  Maybe even a beach if you live near one.

Keep rocking Kettle Heads. 
Love wins, Always
