Brison Bursey Band will release their sophomore album, Expectations and Parking Lots on April 6^th.  Brison wrote and/or co-wrote each track on the album. It is a record full of irresistible hooks that lend themselves equally well to the solitary open road and to the jam-packed bar, to driving with the windows down and pulling your love up close. From the opening tracks, “Hearts to Break” and “Solid Ground,” to the stunner, “California Can,” it’s an album that expresses experiences and emotions that are immediately recognizable because you know you’ve been there too.  The album was produced by Justin Tocket, the bass player for Radney Foster.

Wade Bowen will release the next installment of the Live at Billy Bob’s Texas music series on April 27^th!  Bowen recorded his CD and DVD in November 2009 to a packed house at the legendary, honky tonk, Billy Bob’s Texas.  This is a live album with only one take – raw emotion, passion and intensity captured for fans to relive again and again.  The album consists of 19 tracks which include hits “Lay It All On You,” “You Had Me At My Best,” “One Step Closer,” and “Trouble.”  As an added bonus, two NEW, unheard studio cuts produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Chris Knight) will be introduced on the CD.   The DVD features 17 tracks with special footage caught the week leading up to the show, an interview section and a must-see confessional booth where fans poured their heart out to Wade and the band.
