The Britt Lloyd Band

Artist Information

Biography

When the Britt Lloyd Band merged in 2003, the thirst for new, edgy, and intriguing music in Texas and the South was on the rise. Despite a market attraction to a mainstream sound across Texas, both rock and country music resided in tBLB's bones. The crossroad of the two served as a rendezvous point for the bands gathering. Thus, the answer that so many looked for in a new and innovative sound, found its home in the ears of a fast growing number of tBLB’s listeners.

Today the Britt Lloyd Band continues to maintain a harmonious tie between country and rock, they continue to attract droves of faithful fans through both touring and radio. With the release of the debut record "Unlabeled" in early 2006, the singles "Chokin On Air” and "Day in Day Out" made leaps up the Texas Music Charts, rising to within the top third of the charts. Fans have their opportunities to witness tBLB's energy packed shows at many major venues and events around Texas. The new and energetic sound that the group offers,says they are quick to entertain.

Equipped with a commanding voice, catchy guitar hooks and riffs, and creative songwriting; Britt fronts an experienced ensemble composed of hard-driving, steady drums, technical tasteful bass lines, and filling harmonies that will leave fans starving for the encore. Sharing the stage and working with artists such as Jack Ingram, Kevin Fowler,Charlie Daniels, Bob Schneider, Jason Boland, Stoney Larue, Charlie Robison, Cory Morrow, Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen, Eli Young, Bleu Edmonson, and Mickey and the Motorcars, tBLB continues to put skins on the wall and establish itself as a more household name. With sweeping momentum, new sponsorships, and enthusiastic backing, the Britt Lloyd Band is quickly gaining the reputation and clout that guarantees them not to disappoint or lose speed any time soon.

tBLB’s sophomore, much anticipated, new album, "The Ink" , had a pre-released hit single "That Kind" which stayed on the Texas Music Charts for 34 weeks. Three singles were released and on the TMC charts off album "The Ink". "Trust Song" and "Chrome '89 DeVille" were also in the top 50. In addition 'The Ink" was released on CMJ with great reviews in Maine, NY, Arkansas, and many other States.

The third album is now in process. There will be a few live tracks and lots of new material.

In addition to musical talent of the band, these guys are down to earth and easy to approach. Come out to the shows and see what it's all about.

He’s also opened for some of the biggest acts and played on some of the most prestigious stages in the Lone Star State, bringing his superlative chops as an axeman and gritty pop-rock songwriter wherever he goes.
