BIG BLUE HEARTS
TO PLAY 2 DATES IN NASHVILLE
Retro-billy Quartet Showcasing New Songs
Austin, Texas -- Big Blue Hearts, riding a wave of good will
after more than half a dozen appearances during the recent
South by Southwest Music Festival, rolls into Nashville for
a special industry showcase and an appearance as part of a
Western Beat concert series.
The quartet will wrap its romantic retro-billy sound around
a number of new songs and cuts from its latest album, HERE
COME THOSE DREAMS AGAIN, at its show at 6 p.m. Monday, April
24, at Mercy Lounge, 1 Cannery Row: 615.251.3020. Cover is
complimentary. Information: 615.320.5115.
Big Blue Hearts will also offer up its new tunes at 10 p.m.
Tuesday, April 25, at Billy Block's Western Beat at 12th &
Porter, 114 12th Ave. N. Cover is $5; information:
615.254.7236.
Among the songs on the set list for the Nashville shows is
"Here Come Those Dreams Again," the just-released second
single and title track of its latest album. "Lovinā You,"
the heart-touching first single from the album, has spent
more than nine months on The Texas Music Chart, climbing as
high as #8.
Big Blue Hearts, which relocated to Austin at the end of
last year, has been captivating show and radio audiences
across Texas and beyond with what Edna Gunderson of USA
Today describes as its "dreamy lure: soothing and heartfelt
country rock by unrepentant romantics. The rootsy sound gets
its heft from Scott Minchk's tasteful guitar solos and David
Fisherās lovely croon, just across the holler from Chris
Isaak and Roy Orbison."
Songwriter Fisher fronts Big Blue Hearts with dreamy love
songs and upbeat ballads wrapped in a velvety baritone.
Adding texture and depth and dynamic musicianship are Minchk
on lead guitar and vocals, J.B. Burton on bass and vocals,
and Greg Sobol on drums and vocals.
The band continues touring nationally to satisfy fans'
growing demand for Big Blue Heartsā refreshing love songs,

Thursday, March 30, Fat Cat, Modesto
Friday, March 31, Zoey's Cafe, Ventura
Tuesday, April 4, Sweet Water Saloon, Mill Valley
