HTC's Road Kill Stew and Other News wins a Wammie for Country Album! also Album Art!
Diana won a Wammie for Rock Vocalist!
Bob Schieffer and HTC performed at the Wammies to a standup crowd!
HTC's and its latest CD has been getting lots of press and a whole lotta buzz!!
Bill Schieffer and the band performed at a Paley Media Center gala honoring
Sumner Redstone on February 7 at the Waldorf-Astoria. The band performed
TV Anchorman and a new song, written especially for the occasion: "Mr. Redstone."
The New York Post's Page 6 said we upstaged Tony Bennett (although that's impossible, isn't it?)
And here's what the New York Times, Washington Post, and New York Post have said in the past few weeks:
New York Post: (Liz Smith): "BRAVO to the happiest moment at the Museum of Broad casting's honor for Sumner Redstone.
Nope, sorry it wasn't Mr. Redstone, but Bob Schieffer, on the verge of departing and leaving CBS much the poorer for it.
Onstage, Schieffer and a country band from DC, Honky Tonk Confidential, sang a knockout tribute.
So who knew the venerable newsman could sing?! (Only us other people from Fort Worth, Texas.)
The band was featured in a Bill Geist piece on CBS' Sunday Morning
this summer and the band/CD have been mentioned/featured in and on
The New York Times
CBS Early Show
NBC
CNN (a spectacularly funny Jeanne Moos piece)
Austin Chronicle
Ft. Worth Star- Telegram
Houston Chronicle
Washington Post
New Yorker
The Sunday Morning came after a hugely successful show at NYC's HOT new restaurant and live venue, Hill Country NYC, which brings authentic Texas barbeque to the Big Apple (we had some, it's fabuloso!) Hill Country NYC is at 30 W. 26th St, in Chelsea. Visit it next time you're in New Yawk. The star-studded audience included Andy Rooney, Tom Brokaw, Harry Smith, Susan Zirinski, and many other luminaries in the news business.
It was such a great gig that we've been invited back in December, along with Pulitzer-prize winner Laurence Wright and his Austin band Who-Do.
Some bands get endorsements from alcohol purveyors such as Schlitz and Jagermeister, and some get endorsements from really terrific, family-owned
business like Stuckey's. We're in negotiations with Stuckey's to sell our CD in all of their stores, and we're really excited about it! All we need now
is a Stuckey's bus, and a reality show called On the Road with Bob, which takes the band and Bob around the country to various gigs in our new bus!
Some of our outstanding gigs this past year (without the Stuckey's bus) have included:
Paley Center for Media gala honoring Sumner Redstone, Waldorf-Astoria grand ballroom
University of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD (sold out/full house with extra seats added on the lawn)
Hill Country NYC (twice)
21 Club, NYC (yes, THAT 21 Club)
The Watergate
and we're going to Houston, Texas in a few months..... as well as
a tour in the Caribbean!!! (woo hoo!)
Here's the news on our latest CD, which is getting all the buzz....
