“Hillbilly Vegas” had an awesome trip to England. The Feels Good Tour got rave reviews in Rock mags, blogs, radio and fb post. The pics of the crowds, new and long-time fans, that gathered at the Festivals and clubs proved the band could build excitement in their 50 min. set of the original songs from their albums. Check out their fb page for lots of pics and the reviews of the tour. Watch for the release of the “Feels Good” album on your favorite streaming platforms. It is a great collection of songs that kick it up a notch to flat out R&R with an Oklahoma flavor. The only thing that I might change if I was the producer is that the tunes are too short. There’s a couple of them that would take off in an Allman Bros. jam given the time to develop. But if “Feels Goods” stays the course of he other album there will be several chart hits with most in the Top 10. Congrats on a successful tour.
