Mystery of the Missing Keyboardist - solved
Bo’s show at the Arkansas State Fair last night gave fans their first chance to hear his new band members, drummer Austin Curcuruto and keyboard player Peter Tolstoy Swadley. The first recaps are in and the reviews are good. Welcome guys, and apologies for the invasion of glittery kittens and Bo Bice avatars that is [...]

Au Revoir, Thomas Lee
Last night, Bo announced that Thomas would be leaving his band, at least for now. Some fans had figured that would happen, as its been clear from Tommy’s blogs about going back to school that he was looking for a new direction. Some fans didn’t see it coming. But whether you were expecting it or [...]

Good strings, bad lighting
It may be a long time before we get any coherent recaps from tonight’s show in River Falls. So far all anyone has managed to gasp out is “Teh Hat…leather jacket… Hot! Hot! Hot!”
So in the meantime, enjoy a couple of videos put up by D’Addario strings. In this interview, Bo talks about his background [...]

Chris is an old friend of Bo’s and the two of them wrote I’m Gone, which is on Bo’s album See The Light, and American Blood, which I suspect has been getting a [...]

Bo’s Making New Friends
I was doing some searching on MySpace today looking for information on the BB Kings clubs, but MySpace’s search facility sucks, so I didn’t find what I was looking for.
I did stumble across this great singer-songwriter whose page popped up because he plays in the house band at BB Kings in Nashville.
What’s interesting is [...]

Go Tell Thomas Why You’re a Loser
You guys know I love Thomas Lee’s MySpace blog. It has everything anyone could ever want to read - music, humor, talking soft toys and a psychopathic bear. If you’re not subscribed, you need to be - and if you can’t leave him comments because you don’t have a MySpace page, well then you need [...]

Not Just Another New Year’s Eve
This is going to be a special one, because Thomas Lee is going to be bringing it in, on teevee, in New York City! (altogether now…Get a rope!) Tommy will be playing the keys and maybe sneezing like a swarm of bees with Stephen Cochran and the New Country Outlaws in Times Square. Yes, that [...]

I Wanted You
Bo’s keyboard player Thomas Lee just posted a new song and a blog explaining the song.

Jason Isbell CD Release
Former Drive-by-Trucker and Friend-of-Bo, Jason Isbell releases his solo CD today. I would never have discovered Jason’s music if it wasn’t for Bo, so that’s one MORE reason to be grateful to His Hawtness.
I have an advance copy of ‘Sirens of the Ditch’ and I definitely recommend picking one up. It’s not an instant [...]

Chris Tompkins on Songwriting, Muscle Shoals, and Pretty Little Souped Up Four-Wheel Drives
Chris Tompkins, co-writer of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and Bo Bice’s “American Blood,” recently shared some thoughts with Bona Fide Bice on his songwriting, his roots, his success and Southern Rock today. (And yes, Bo too.)
You’ve had quite a run lately, haven’t you? First Jimmy Buffet and “Bama Breeze,” then the juggernaut that [...]
