You may know Billy Bob Thornton as an Oscar winning writer, an Oscar nominated actor, award winning director, or maybe you simply know him as "Bad Santa,” but did you know that he is also an accomplished singer and songwriter?
Along with his friend J.D Andrew, Billy founded the rock and roll group, The Boxmasters. The Boxmasters have recorded an impressive and diverse catalogue of music that touches on their love of a wide array of influences, but most importantly, the rock and roll of the 1960’s. Their tour will soon bring them to New Jersey where audiences can enjoy the uptempo tunes reminiscent of The Beatles, Byrds, and Beach Boys.
Having opened for the likes of ZZ Top, Steve Miller, George Thorogood and Kid Rock, The Boxmasters have proven to win over large audiences.
Jersey Arts is joined by Billy Bob Thornton and J.D. Andrew who are currently on a cross country tour of the US promoting their latest album, '69.
