Album Notes

Washington D.C.singer/songwriter Billy Coulter’s distinctive style blurs the line between Roots Rock and Power Pop. Drawing on influences as varied as Bob Dylan to Squeeze he’s developed an organic sound that seems familiar but is definitely new.

In just a few years Coulter has made a name for himself with his unique songwriting and vocal ability winning him the 2008 Album of the Year (Dose), Song of the Year (Party of One), Roots Rock Recording of the Year and, for the second year in a row, Roots Rock Vocalist Washington Area Music (WAMMIE) Awards. His inspired and energetic performances have graced the stages at some of the region’s top venues and festivals including Rams Head, Birchmere, Strathmore, Barns of Wolf Trap, IOTA, Celebrate Fairfax and more. He and his band have also supported national acts such as Johnny Winter, Kelly Willis, Phil Vassar, Taylor Hicks and others.

This live recording of Coulter with his band in top form captures the energy that audiences have come to expect for this veteran outfit, with sharp performances and a kicking groove.
