Billy Mick

 

 

 

Billy Mick, a gay singer/songwriter based out of Orlando, is celebrating life, his community, family and friends in his music. While attending Manchester Pride in 2018 with his husband, Billy was inspired by the overwhelming sense of community and acceptance he experienced. And after seeing so many diverse and talented performers on the musical stages, he realized the time was right to share his music with others. 

Billy released his first studio album, "Just B.",  last June during quarantine and earlier this year released his second album, "Leveling Up", exclusively on Bandcamp.com!

Billy has been honored to perform at Orlando's Miss GayDays Pageant, Space Coast Pride, as well as, participating in several Virtual Pride events across the globe. He takes the opportunity to perform onstage at HAOS on Church in Orlando, Florida whenever possible. Billy has stepped into the role of Producer, as well, creating his sell-out one-man show, his own monthly variety show, and is currently working on his second "Super Gay Wednesday" event.  His dream is to continue producing new and diverse entertainment while promoting local artists and to perform onstage and at Pride events around the world.

Billy Mick has found his voice and he is excited for what the future holds.

The Suicide Notes

 

 

The Suicide Notes ooze gutter-trash rock n' roll. Low-slung buzzsaw guitars and raw nicotine-soaked vocals, rock 'n' roll swagger, and whiskey on the rocks; the illegitimate sons of punk and sleaze, conceived on a bed of red wine, cigarettes, and back alley attitude.

Born under the bad sign of guttercat rock n’ roll in 2019, the band swiftly secured management and a sponsorship deal with Cloven Hoof Rum before launching two acoustic singles - which have had continuous radio play since their release in July 2019. These were soon followed up with a third well received single 'Momma Sang The Blues' and the release of their debut acoustic and electric 'Pleasures Of Despair' EPs. These gained rave reviews across the board and the band were No.1 on Only Rock Radio in Spain, and No. 16 across all stations on the Radio Indie Alliance Top 40.  

The gig calendar for 2020 was all-but wiped out by the Covid 19 pandemic, but not before the band had garnered stellar reviews for their debut gig at London’s Hope & Anchor, and for performances at the Dublin Castle, Camden’s Unicorn, and Dementia Aware Fest in Wolverhampton. Securing a new management deal with Forge A.M.P and adding the extra sonic assault of second guitarist Danny Gould, the Suicide Notes were widely acknowledged as one of the Day 1 highlights of the rescheduled HRH Sleaze 2021, along with a number of festival appearances, support slots with Last Great Dreamers, Healthy Junkies ans a bunch of headline shows. 

2022 sees a return to Hard Rock Hell with a headline appearance at HRH AOR, a support slot with ‘Greatest Rock n’ Roll Band In The World’ Supersuckers, and festival appearances at RoadRage, CC7 XIII Shades of Black, Mayors Fest, and a third Punk n’ Roll Rendezvous, plus a return to multiple Dementia Fest 2021 events.

Carol Markstrom

 


 

From the West to the East to the far north of Alaska, audiences have been captivated by Carol Markstrom’s vocals and the storytelling quality of her lyrics that transport to other places, times, and people. Carol’s songs tap into Western Roots, Folk, Americana, and Outlaw and Classic Country. Her ballads and love songs range from the whimsical to bittersweet, and the beauty of Western landscapes inspires some of her songwriting. Carol also writes non-fiction about Native American history and culture which have influenced some of her songs. She enjoys performing crowd favorites delivering them with a fresh approach. Carol has released three CDs, two award-winning. Her song about Dakota Sioux leader, Medicine Bottle, is in the soundtrack of a 2019 documentary film titled “The Indian System.” 

Feedback from Fans: Fans remark on Carol’s clear, emotion-filled vocals. She reminds them of such varied artists as Emmylou Harris, Suzy Bogguss, Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow, and Natalie Merchant. Yet others are drawn to Carol’s unique vocal qualities. Whether original or covers—her song selections go over well. 

Radio and Performances: You can hear Carol’s songs played on radio programs across the U.S. and internationally including Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Sweden, New Zealand, and other countries. Carol has also been popular with DJs for interviews. 

She performs a broad repertoire of songs at a range of venues including festivals and concerts, cowboy gatherings, wineries and saloons, coffeehouses, guest ranches, libraries, and museums.

They found a new pracce home in the basement of a friend's house and soon were playing at pares there, other house pares, bars and even a local Rod and Gun Club. They started writing and recording their own music, producing 3 albums of original music (Another Day Goes By..., One Happy Zucchini and Who's Cow's in the Hoosegow).
