Ep. 30 - Billy Ray Herrin : Gram Parsons Tribute
Caution Light Media presents a special Something In The Water : Episode 30 with returning guest, Billy Ray Herrin. The local GP historian joins cohosts Sean Clark and Uncle Dave Griffin, songwriting partner and bandmate of Billy Ray through the years. The two share memories on how they met; put together Sweetbriar, the first Country Rock band in Waycross, Georgia in 1971; became published songwriters for the Lowery Group of Atlanta, Georgia; recorded four songs with Bill Lowery’s studio, Southern Tracks Records; formed the local Americana band, Hickory Wind and performed at the 1991 Gram Parsons Tribute Concert, sponsored by the Waycross-Ware County Chamber of Commerce. Podcast viewers and listeners are treated to a special Larry King Show audio interview with Ben Fong-Torres, author of
“Hickory Wind: The Life and Times of Gram Parsons”; video performance clips from the ’91 concert featuring Hickory Wind, Gram’s daughter, Polly Parsons’s band, She, and a Linda Lee rendition of “Boulder to Birmingham”; along with interviews, festival advertisement, and exclusive backstage and motel room footage. Sponsored by our friends at Tipsy McSway’s Neighborhood Bar and Grill : 1414 Newcastle Street : Brunswick, Georgia, the special episode comes out the morning of November 24, 2021 as a prelude to the 24th Annual Gram Parsons VIRTUAL Guitar Pull and Tribute Festival, which airs at 8pm EST the same night LIVE at https://www.facebook.com/events/63891.... Coming at you this year as a Something In The Water podcast, Sean and Uncle Dave bring to you musical performances from past festival artists and headliners.
