Listen: Billy The Kid - These City Lights
I can't tell you how excited I am about this piece of news. What started out as me being a casual listener of Billy The Kid quickly morphed into me becoming a true fan and believer, which then resulted in us becoming good friends...and it's now taken the next logical step: I'm now managing Billy The Kid. That's right, Its official folks, Billy The Kid has joined the Thorny Bleeder collective of managed artists! Welcome to the family Billy!
Billy has an amazing story that you simply must read for yourself. Pop over to her website and give her bio a read, you'll see what I mean. She's an inspiring, one of a kind artist who has an incredibly bright future.
Billy The Kid is just about to finish the busiest year of her life, with over 120 live performances in the past twelve months, plus countless interviews, news articles, blogs, and TV appearances. She just returned home from a six week Canadian Tour with Rex Goudie and ten short days later she's flying to Newfoundland for her final 12 shows of the year.
So what's next? Recording, recording, and more recording. Billy has a ton of new songs and is stoked to get back in the studio and lay them down. We've got some pretty damn cool stuff in the works for 2011, it's going to be a pretty creative and fantastic year.
Billy is an artist you definitely want to follow online. She's all over social media and constantly talks to her friends and fans, posts photos and videos, shares news and experiences as they happen, posts random contests, and the coolest thing of all...she regularly posts new songs as they're written.
