Rochelle band BB & The Billies release debut album ‘HUB CITY’

Rochelle-based roots country/Americana artists BB The Billies recently announced the release of their debut full-length album, “HUB CITY.”Anchored by the performance-driven vocals of Betsy (BB) Petrie, the songwriting of Toby (Big T) and the guitar twang of Greg (Lil’ G) Barker, “HUB CITY” is a collection of honest, neo-traditional hook-laden songs where rustic country charm intersects with understated sophistication and an often-wry sense of humor.With a range of influences including a swath of 1950s, 1960s and 1970s AM country radio artists, BB The Billies have spent the last several years writing, recording, performing and refining a sound that pays homage to the past while creating a distinctly contemporary voice.“Our goal was to write and record a batch of songs that were based on real experiences and honest emotions with the canvas of classic roots country and American folk as our backdrop. The result is something unique and original and we’re real proud of the record,” Toby
