More on the Hoedown and James Scott Bullard after the jump...
Magnolia Roads presents the third annual American Roots Hoedown. A showcase of the Magnolia Roads family of artists and friends. Twelve bands over two nights at two of Nashville's hippest live music venues. Returning for the third year are Mike Younger, Rich Mahan, and the Jason Daniels Band. New this year are Bonnie Blue, Ben Sparaco & The New Effect, Arkansas Dave, Don Gallardo, Boo Ray, Allen Thompson, Daniel Lawrence Walker, The Traveling One, Taylor Kropp and James Scott Bullard.
What is American Roots? Exactly what the moniker sounds like, music that grew from the roots of America. The Magnolia Roads family of artists epitomize American Roots music through their blend of Blues, Country, Funk, Jazz, and a whole lotta Rock and Roll, flavored with the deep grooves of the South and an occasional West Coast psychedelic twirl.

James Scott Bullard (Mullins, SC) Outlaw Country Southern rocker. ‘If Waylon Jennings had a pet eagle named Evel Knievel that liked to stand on furniture with a guitar, had a homemade Smokey & The Bandit tattoo on it's chest, a Skynyrd tattoo on it's middle talon, Keith Richards’ blood in it's veins, Johnny Rotten's cocked eye and John Oates' mustache, that MIGHT come close' to describing JSB’s music. His new album, “Full Tilt Boogie” will be released April 27, night one of Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown III.
1) What is the most personal song you
have? What makes it so personal?
Definitely
"Back to You." Because it's about my son, and how he's so amazing
despite my bad decisions in life.
2) Favorite topic to write about?
Why?
My bad
decisions...i.e.: Women, my self-destructive nature, etc. It's such good source
material!
3) Craziest thing that's ever happened
while on stage (issues, crazy fans, losing power, etc.?)
I got
electrocuted! My hand was on my guitar, my mouth was on the mic and my boots
were standing in a beer the opening act spilled. I didn't know there was a hole
in my boot. The soundman figured it out quickly and Gorilla taped my boots...On
with the show!
4) Who are your musical influences?
Why?
Hank Williams
Sr., Waylon Jennings, Lightnin' Hopkins. Because they understood that keeping
the formula simple, to the point and telling the truth was how you get to
folks.
5) First album you ever bought?
Kiss-'Destroyer"
6) First live concert you ever
attended?
Whitesnake
7) Are you a "superfan" of
any band?
W.A.S.P. or
Pantera
8) What is the most valuable lesson
you've learned as a musician? Who taught it to you?
"The
entertainment industry is a lot like following an elephant with a
shovel"-Actual advice from David Allan Coe.
"If
everybody likes you, you're doin' it wrong!" and "Learn to bum
cigarettes or quit smoking."-Actual advice from Butch Walker.
9) If you had to bring two albums with
you to listen to for the rest of your life--what would they be?
Waylon
Jennings-"Honky-Tonk Heroes" and The Rolling Stones-"Sticky
Fingers"
10) What's your dream venue to play?
The Ryman.
11) What’s your favorite food on the
road? (Why?)
Welches Fruit
Snacks-My Road manager got me addicted and they're an easy, quick go to.
12) Why didn’t you become a banker? Or,
if you weren’t a musician what would you be?
I can not do
safe. Tom Waits once said: "Normal, well adjusted people don't get written
about."...I don't read about bankers a lot.
If I wasn't a
musician I'd be a grave digger because the clients are easy to deal with I
hear.
13) Bonus?!
What makes you most excited about playing the Magnolia Roads American Roots III weekend
shows?
The
opportunity to share the stage with so many great artists. Plus, I never have a
bad time in Nashville.
