"Dan Kouba "Farmageddon"

GENRE: Country

Farmagedon

"When I grew up in rural Wisconsin small farms were a way of life. I still can

remember the sound of the hammer hitting the anvil, that I incorporate in to the

song, my grandfather used to make while sharpening his plow shares. This is my

musical tribute to the farmer as the advocate or cheerleader for their long lasting

existence".

~Dan Kouba

Jim Bickerstaff was born and raised in Georgia and started playing and writing at an early age. The majority

of his career has been behind the console as house engineer for the legendary Johnny Sandlin, and moving on

to both engineer and produced many independent records. Working with major groups for the rebirth of

Capricorn Records through Warner Brothers gave Jim insight and the drive to continue writing and performing.

Colored Town is the fourth track on the Peace Project record, co-produced with Sandlin. Tracks were cut at Duck

Tape Studio with Johnny and Jeremy Stephens behind the console. The song is a reflection of a 10-year-old

moving from a diverse (military) society to the deep south in 1966 when dark-skinned folks lived under a

different set of rules than light-skinned people. Separate water fountains, bathrooms, and even medical

facilities were the norm. The song is about real people that Jim knew growing up and a time that made a deep

impact on everyone who lived through it … painting the impressions it made on a bewildered 10-year-old boy.

Colored Town is an attempt to understand what should never have been.

Day and is dedicated to all three of my sisters, Arline, Phyllis & Virginia."“One

might say Miss Lonely” is a good ‘Ol Fashioned Rock ’n Roll song or a song about

“Female Empowerment”. It drops on April 10th, National Siblings Day and is

dedicated to my Three (3) older sisters who got me into Rock ’n Roll. Mama

always told the girls “Don’t complain about men ’Taking It For a walk’, girls

can do it too”."GENRE: ROCKABILLY"
