I haven't been on the radio for about 3 years, but a few things linger...
Swag arrived at the station every week or so. Most of it we would give away, but the occasional XXL t-shirt, eagerly awaited CD and, of course, koozies of every shape and size, ended up going home with me. I have a pretty decent collection of koozies, all of which get used on a regular basis by visitors, friends and family.... but there is this one in particular that has hardly ever left my side since I got it. It's the perfect size, weight, level of flexibility, and the perfect hue of military-grade European Woodland camo.
Thank you Britt Lloyd for sending us the box o' goodies and thank you Dave Wheaton for hooking me up back in 2010. Maybe it was the music (Chrome '89 DeVille played incessantly on KBHT at that time, and still wasn't often enough for my personal taste...) or maybe it was the instant musical credibility I felt by supporting local Texas music... but the day this thing disintegrates due to overuse, I will be forced to hold a memorial service.
Anyone not familiar with Britt's music, take it from a guy who knows his music and check him out. The rest of you.... just nod in agreement - by Jason Jones

Britt Lloyd is one of the occasionally overlooked but consistently talented products of the long-fertile Brazos Valley area of the Texas music scene, a righteously talented guitar-slinger and songwriter who absorbed elements of regional country, earnest '90s mainstream rock and classic Stevie Ray Vaughan/ZZ Top blues-rock into his signature sound. Blessed with a brawny, expressive voice and a well-practiced, versatile guitar style, he broke a too-long streak of no new material by releasing Conglomerate in early 2013, a hard-driving live/studio combo to re-introduce his gifts to the many fans who've seen him play some of Texas' biggest venues and open for some of its biggest acts.

producer Britt Lloyd can swing the axe with the best of them" - Texas Music Magazine
The young artist (and still-new father) already has two albums under his belt as a bandleader and a couple more on the “producer” column of his resume via friends of his like Ben Schane and Brian Coy & the Remaining Few. He’s also opened for some of the biggest acts and played on some of the most prestigious stages in the Lone Star State, bringing his superlative chops as an axeman and gritty pop-rock songwriter wherever he goes.

Bio
When the Britt Lloyd Band merged in 2003, the thirst for new, edgy, and intriguing music in Texas and the South was on the rise. Despite a market attraction to a mainstream sound across Texas, both rock and country music resided in tBLB's bones. The crossroad of the two served as a rendezvous point for the bands gathering. Thus, the answer that so many looked for in a new and innovative sound, found its home in the ears of a fast growing number of tBLBs listeners.
Today the Britt Lloyd Band continues to maintain a harmonious tie between country and rock, they continue to attract droves of faithful fans through both touring and radio. With the release of the debut record "Unlabeled" in early 2006, the singles "Chokin On Air and "Day in Day Out" made leaps up the Texas Music Charts, rising to within the top third of the charts. Fans have their opportunities to witness tBLB's energy packed shows at many major venues and events around Texas. The new and energetic sound that the group offers,says they are quick to entertain.
Equipped with a commanding voice, catchy guitar hooks and riffs, and creative songwriting; Britt fronts an experienced ensemble composed of hard-driving, steady drums, technical tasteful bass lines, and filling harmonies that will leave fans starving for the encore. Sharing the stage and working with artists such as Jack Ingram, Kevin Fowler,Charlie Daniels, Bob Schneider, Jason Boland, Stoney Larue, Charlie Robison, Cory Morrow, Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen, Eli Young, Bleu Edmonson, and Mickey and the Motorcars, tBLB continues to put skins on the wall and establish itself as a more household name. With sweeping momentum, new sponsorships, and enthusiastic backing, the Britt Lloyd Band is quickly gaining the reputation and clout that guarantees them not to disappoint or lose speed any time soon.
tBLBs sophomore, much anticipated, new album, "The Ink" , had a pre-released hit single "That Kind" which stayed on the Texas Music Charts for 34 weeks. Three singles were released and on the TMC charts off album "The Ink". "Trust Song" and "Chrome '89 DeVille" were also in the top 50. In addition 'The Ink" was released on CMJ with great reviews in Maine, NY, Arkansas, and many other States.
The third album release date was 2/5/13. There are 6 live tracks and lots of new material. The new album "Conglomeration" debuted in the top 5 Best Sellers for Lonestar Music.
In addition to musical talent of the band, these guys are down to earth and easy to approach. Come out to the shows and see what it's all about.
