TIM ALLEN
Tim Allen is originally from a small town in Northeast Ohio. He moved to Central Missouri in 2008 to start his own business and had started playing music on the side as a hobby. When he started writing more songs, he began to travel further and further distances to play for whoever will listen.
“Tim is the most humble and unassuming man I know. When he writes a song, the lyrics are meant to move you. Some artists sing the things that are hard for us & others to say. Tim Allen does just that… His original songs bring tears to my eyes… he really does deliver his music in a way that touches the soul.” – Cheryl Swift “Duchess of Rock & Roll”
Hard work has been something that Tim has built a career on and it is the same with music. With influences from Merle Haggard and George Jones, what he has always related to has been the lyrics and message that the music portrays. With songs like “Lifetime on the Road” and “Looking Up at a Dream” he gives you a glimpse into his own life.
Tim has played different venues all around the midwest, including Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and the Carolinas. He has played shows all over with many artists including Porter Union(Springfield, MO), Alex Williams (Indianapolis), Tennessee Jet (Oklahoma), Josh Morningstar(Maryland), Jonathan Parker(North Carolina), Justin Wells(Kentucky), Eric Bolander(Kentucky), Tom McElvain(Texas), Joe Austin(Mississippi), Richie Allbright(Texas), and many others!
It looks like 2019 will be busy after releasing a brand new EP produced by Cole Porter. Keep an eye out for upcoming tour announcements and everything coming up next
BILLY DON BURNS
Billy Don Burns is a true Country Music Warrior. He wears his battle scars with honor, depicting the stories of his life in his songs with brutal and beautiful honesty. He’s respected far and wide for his long career in songwriting and performing, and he’s still out there. He’s lived it and breathed it through lifetimes of country music passion and pain. Carrying the guitar like a sword on his back, he battles for the Poet. He battles for the Artist. He battles for the souls who defy modern convention. And every time he strikes a chord in some smoke-filled honky tonk, he wins. Billy Don Burns started out in this business working with legends, and somewhere along the way he became one himself.
Billy Don Burns is one of the few remaining original Outlaw Country Music singer songwriters. This long and hard road paved with a honky tonk reality has taken him from Stone County, Arkansas and around the world touring for the past forty plus years. He has been described as “The Warrior Poet” who has gained the respect of some of the greatest songwriters including Billy Joe Shaver, David Lynn Jones, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson. Some of BDB’s critically acclaimed albums are “Desperate Men” with Hank Cochran, and “Heroes, Friends and Other Troubled Souls” with Hank Cochran, Willie Nelson, and Tanya Tucker. Willie, Connie Smith, Mel Tillis, and Sammy Kershaw have recorded his songs. Some of the artists that have recently recorded his songs are Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan, and Colter Wall. Billy Don Burns’ new albums; “A Night in Room 8” and “Graveyard in Montgomery” have recently been released and singled out by Rolling Stone, and others. This is a quote from Billy Joe Shaver: “Friend forever! Billy Don is wise beyond his years. Great writer! Great man! A leader in all walks of life. The best man to have on your side, no matter how dangerous the situation.”
