HBE PHOENIX, ARIZONA

If there wasn't Hank Williams Sr or Leadbelly, there'd be no Johnny Cash or R.L. Burnside. If there wasn't Johnny Cash and R.L. Burnside, there'd be no Weary Boys or Left Lane Cruiser or especially Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment. Fact of the matter is, our generation for the most part, has unfortunatly been over exposed to Elvis instead of Chuck Berry & the Beatles instead of The Band. Blame your parents, because most of our grandparents worked through the depression and did there best not to influence our parents with songs about death, prison, addictions, murder, cheating, whiskey and the road.

Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment (HBE) was formed in late 2004, when Ryan Tackett and Keith Mallette were fed up with concerts and events, venues, booking agencies, promoters and the marketing and delivery of american roots music with balls, passion, grit & determination. There needed to be a home where the truth and conviction in music is delivered and lived by, a home that would welcome the public and attract the people who hold a strong ear, and a good heart and enjoy music that has as much, if not more heart than skill, and there is nothing wrong with both! Long live the noise that ain't tryin' to sell you something.

Our music, concerts and events is mainly for old black men and the working class man, whos values and efforts are towards work, family and relationships of all sorts, which enable them from attending our events and buying our CD's for the majority, which doesnt help our cause for whatever reasons you may have gave-up on in this industry years ago. So its essential that we reach everyone in this world who lives and feels as we do, so that we may well represent and present the best forms of american roots music to you, because we appreciate your hard work and ethics and want to provide you with the best music, concerts and merchandise for your hard earned time and money. Its hard to be exposed to what we do, and we are doing our best to reach everyone. Since there is a humongous shortage "men" whos ethics and expectations are far greater than whats asked of in the bible and men, who are sought after by women, who just needs a man to be a man, we have found since the beginning of HBE, that this "man" music image we throw out...its the WOMEN who love what we do. Thats why our merchandise sales are over 70% from the ladies, and our concerts and events are 3 girls to every guy in most cases. Hillgrass Bluebillys fan base, the "Dirty Foot Family", has been growing strong and increasing by the 1000's as the months and years roll by!

HBE is growing rapidly. HBE was born and reared in Arizona, and since, has branched into Indiana, Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee chapters. HBE is a label, a concert promoter, we find the right music for movies and television. HBE is also a booking agency and tour management and a way of life! Please rape through our website and take what you can and keep it for yourself!

HBE has had over 250 concerts and events, and currently has world tours booked. HBE is wrapping up Hiram & Huddie: A Double Tribute to Hank Williams Sr & Leadbelly, followed by JR & RL: A Double Tribute to Johnny Cash and R.L. Burnside, as well as 3 other albums, yet to be announced until 50% of its completion. You wont BELIEVE who is on our compilations, go have a look! We look forward to your comments, questions and concerns. Welcome Dirty Foot Family, to Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment.
