Billy Galt Billy Galt is a blues guitarist and singer  his current and longest lasting band is "Blues Deacons"     for 30 years,     Billy tells stories of his beginning years playing in Chicago, IL.     to take a quote from a News Gazette In Studio Interview           "I backed some blues guys. Homesick James, who lived to be around 100, in Chicago. I played with Sonny Boy Williamson Jr. in a street band in Chicago. In the winter, we'd play in Memphis, New Orleans, L.A., Houston, San Francisco. I was living in my old Suburban at the time. We just lived on the street. It was a lot of fun"I also played with Maxwell Street Jimmy. We would play in a little club in Champaign and leave around 3 in the morning and go up to Maxwell Street's open market and start playing at 7 in the morning and play all day. It was great. For a small-town kid, I had hardly been to a big city before. It was hallowed ground for a blues player"Billy elaborates on those experiences  and some of his newest ventures with Andy Ducanson, Josh Quirk   touring in Norway  this past October.  His latest CD release ""What Are We Waiting For"  has 17 songs and was recorded by Dan Henry of Monticello, Il    Mentions: Griz StephensDoc ShreddAndy Ducanson Josh QuirkKeith Harden Andre MossottiJesse Brown Dougy Pughand many many more!!The Rosebowl Tavern Bargenta Alto VineyardsSleepy Creek Vineyards Champaign, IL Monticello, IL Chicago, IL LINKS:https://www.facebook.com/billy.galt.3watchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poD9bHJuS-Ehttp://www.champaignunderground.comKHB 2015 Video is on Billy's Facebook page  and CU Bands and Fans page go and check that outSupport the showFind us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CuBandsandFansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cubaf2018/Website: https://cubandsfan4.wixsite.com/cubandsandfansPodcast are on our web site CU Bands and Fans "Where Musicians Tell Their Story" Podcast Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/695230782250029Home Grown KIO Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/876171327104082Classic Hits WKIO ( Home Grown KIO Show Sunday's at 7pm)https://www.news-gazette.com/wkio/Look Before You Book https://www.lookbeforeyoubook.live/

Music Artist "Syris" is from Champaign, IL  a local who started in Theatre  and was drawn to music, she is talented and her inspirations are her Mom (Jenny Carpenter and Mylie Cyrus  who helped pull her through  many dark and depressing times.    Syris's latest song "Reject" came from her experiences of being bullied,  rejected, not included and not in the main stream of things.   Her hope is to be an inspiration to those who feel they are a reject and are being bullied and set apart.  She would love to go to schools or other public areas and help heal those with music  that they can relate to.    This is a powerful podcast because this Artist knows what it feels like and can reach out and make herself available  to those hurting and suffering   either quietly or otherwise.    If you  listen to her music and it helps you    reach out to her  she is open to that.  In her own words:   "Reject was written by Tim, Jocelyn, & I, to really speak out to anyone who has ever felt like an outcast, the black sheep, … a reject. I have spent my entire life feeling that way & finally had enough.  I let it all out through what I know best & that's music. If I can reach even one person who relates to that & help them feel like they're not alone, then I've fulfilled my destiny" - SyrisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SYRISofficialmusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2WoJYS5d9d32UuSp1qI4iA?si=2um8NO5pSMCIegvqLtaezwRecorded by Absent State: https://www.absentstate.com/?fbclid=IwAR3DpXa0Y4orUuEQ2oaKUmid9a1z5prGKcLym6pl8e6zR_8k8lxAlWHhJCYSupport the showFind us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CuBandsandFansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cubaf2018/Website: https://cubandsfan4.wixsite.com/cubandsandfansPodcast are on our web site CU Bands and Fans "Where Musicians Tell Their Story" Podcast Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/695230782250029Home Grown KIO Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/876171327104082Classic Hits WKIO ( Home Grown KIO Show Sunday's at 7pm)https://www.news-gazette.com/wkio/Look Before You Book https://www.lookbeforeyoubook.live/

About Cindy: "I became a member of a popular local Country Music TV show when I was 12.  Throughout my teens, I traveled to Nashville & performed on several shows, including the Grand Ole Opry.   During my 20's, I developed my own style, formed my own band.  I sang & played bass guitar & changed from Country to Southern Rock.  After my band desolved, I joined as a front person in a Top 40 Rock band during the late 80's - early 90's.  I retired from the music scene to spend more time with my children in their teen years.  I eventually went back to my country roots & formed a band with my husband in 2001.  We traveled to country opry's, which was short-lived.  We became involved in the music at our church.  In 2007, after a traumatizing fall, I became disabled & eventually quit singing in my church. In 2022, I became a member of The Bement Country Opry & play 2 shows a month.About Ron: After being in a band in Indiana, I moved back to Illinois to live with family. I met my wife while singing in a karaoke contest in July of 2001.  I was determined to get to know her. We formed a band and played every Tuesday night in a local bar. I am a drummer and she plays bass. After we got married in November of that same year, we got tired of the bar scene very quickly. In 2001 we turned our musical talents toward ministry in our church. We still love to karaoke on occasion & I hope to be recording more songs in the future.  I am currently in a band called Whiskey River.  I mostly enjoy doing shows with my wife, singing in a band or at country opry shows.  I sing Classic Country.  As Merle would say... "I take a lot of pride in what I am"!!LINKS:Cindy (Peddycoart) Crawford You Tube https://www.youtube.com/@cindypeddycoart-crawford5312Ronnie Crawford You Tube https://www.youtube.com/@ronniecrawford5180/videosBement Country Opryhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057571264939Support the showFind us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CuBandsandFansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cubaf2018/Website: https://cubandsfan4.wixsite.com/cubandsandfansPodcast are on our web site Home Grown KIO Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/876171327104082Classic Hits WKIO ( Home Grown KIO Show Sunday's at 7pm)https://www.news-gazette.com/wkio/
