Boyd Bristow - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Cloudless Sky After a wait that could be best termed "a while," Boyd Bristow has made his first solo recording on Maxine/Audiophile. It is a celebratory collection of folk, R&B, country, gospel, and rock and roll. Featured are some of Boyd's best songs, along with excellent works from fellow South Dakotans Tom Peterson, Bruce Preheim and Dennis Westphal. Cloudless Sky was produced by master musician and recordist Chris Gage at MoonHouse Studio in Austin, Texas. Chris and Boyd go back "a long while." With the help of a cast of great players, and especially aided by the beautiful backing vocals of Christine Albert, they have created a deeply satisfying recording. Produced by Chris Gage.

Graham and Anna Marie Thatcher filmed the Michael Johnson tour and I am currently mixing the audio for the film. The opportunity for us to play with Michael Johnson was a real highlight for me, and I dare say for Kenny, Mike and Terry. Then, I recently completed the mixing and mastering for Gordy Pratt's next album. It was a remarkable experience as Gordy and I worked together to shape his sound, especially the sound he was going for on his guitar. Gordy's performances on this ablum are just outstanding. I learned a lot doing this recording; thanks Gordy. I am also currently working with Vince Two Eagles and the rest of the band (Dave Hofstad, Terry Pospisil and myself) on a new VTE record. I am also working on the long awaited Entry Band double CD, and I continue to have other artists coming in to record tracks. And...East of Westreville will soon begin recording our second album. We will feature music from South Dakota songrwriters on the CD. I also took a big step (for me) in playing solo at a couple of events. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it; it gives me the opportunity to play some of the material I don't usually play. Playing solo is challenging. I am playing a solo concert that is open to the public on January 27 at the Old County Courthouse. Nervous? A little. Another first: I played "Top Deck in Perth" with the Dakota Pipe and Drums. It was on electric guitar. Which is necessary. Really necessary. It is an excellent group; precise, meticulous, very loud. I will be playing two more dates with the group in the near future, at the McCrossan Boys Ranch at a McNally's for the Pipes annual dinner. That's all, for now.
