Brazilbilly delivers âtraditional country music with a Latin flairâ in Nashville, Tennessee at Robertâs Western World. If you love the songs of Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr. & music inspired by those artists, Brazilbilly is your band. Frontman Jesse Lee Jones began playing Lower Broadway in the spring of 1995 after leaving his native Brazil 10 years earlier. He was offered a job performing at Robertâs. He was dubbed âthe Brazilian Hillbillyâ and that name quickly morphed into the bandâs name â Brazilbilly. The band has played many other venues & events, including a performance in downtown for Vice President Al Gore on Election Night 2000. They have toured Europe, hosted the live radio broadcast of âThe Midnight Jamboreeâ from the Ernest Tubbâs Texas Troubador Theater, played the Grand Ole Opry Plaza, opened for major country music acts, & played many special events, parties, and benefits in Nashville. Brazilbilly was founded on the ideal of traditional country music. Their sound, while traditional and country, is complemented by a Latin flair unique to the Nashville scene. Each band member is diversely talented, professional, and musically educated. This range of cultural backgrounds and musical experience makes Brazilbilly like no other band, embracing a style that is uniquely their own.
They also play occasionally in Bertram, Texas at the historic Globe Theater.
This December Iâm going to see Brazilbilly in person at the Globe Theater in Bertram, Texas.
