Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters’ sound combines the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, and the Animals, fused with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams. Fashioned after a 1960’s-era mod band (including matching suits and ties!), The Boxmasters’ upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically. The tension that the disparity between the subject matter and the music creates lends itself to a truly unique musical experience that could only be produced by The Boxmasters. - billybobthornton.net

Brent Spiner will be signing copies of his new CD, Dreamland.

Spiner is best known for his role as Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation. As well as Brent Spiner, 'Dreamland' also features the incredible vocal talents of Maude Maggart, (sister of Fiona Apple) and Star Wars legend, Mark Hamill as the ensemble voice cast, with arrangements by John ‘Mac’ McKinney. Screenwriter and Academy Award Nominee, John Logan says of 'Dreamland', "it is a distinctive creation: part concept album, part radio show, part stage musical, but not just a collection of songs, 'Dreamland' is a narrative. The album uses dialogue, sound effects, music and songs to tell a story, sparking the listener's imagination to ‘see’ the story like a movie. The songs have additional emotional power and meaning because they are in a specific context: they are part of the characters' lives and experiences, with the songs all grounded in a story."
