Billingsley and Earp -
Wild Earp is a purveyor of country & western and everything on the borderlands thereabouts. The recipient of the 2023 Ameripolitan Award for Western Swing Male, Earp brings a creative approach to traditional American Roots music, developing his own style that honors the masters of the past while still allowing the genre to evolve in all the right ways. Earp brings the listener through the desert, the mountains, and the honky tonks with clever lyricism that mixes humor, heartache, and sinful living.
Michelle Billingsley is a torchbearer for classic country & western and honky-tonk that strikes a satisfying balance between vintage and modern. As a songwriter, Billingsley has fast developed a reputation for being unguarded, tackling subjects considered taboo for polite women in country music. Veiling her dryly dark sense of humor in raucous acoustic strumming, and a whipsmart-assed vocal delivery, she's drawn comparisons to icons Neko Case, Emmylou Harris, Townes Van Zandt & John Prine via Glide Magazine, Post to Wire and Folk Radio UK.
