BLACKBURY BAND BIO:
www.blackburyband.com
The group was started in 2005 at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield Kansas. The Blackbury Band features tight harmonies backed by understated acoustic arrangements. Singing classic western tunes, vintage country, western swing, folk and gospel. They create a comfortable atmosphere in which you can just sit back and enjoy yourself. Their first album “Thirty Years too late” was released in February 2007. It is a testimony to the group’s love of acoustical music.
Bob Black: Guitar, Vocals
The late Bob Black played the guitar and performed for over 40 years. He had a great appreciation and love for all types of acoustic music. Folk and Western Swing Music influenced him the most. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, he had the opportunity and pleasure to perform with many outstanding talents, to include John Denver. The Blackbury Band provided Bob a unique opportunity to record and perform many of the songs he grew up with new arrangements. Producing and performing the tight vocal harmonies of the group gave Bob abundant pleasure.
L.B. Taulbee: Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals
Lennox was raised in the hills of Kentucky. Going to church and school were the main social activities in the hills and playing music just came natural in a family of musicians and gospel singers. Although enjoying the music, putting groceries on the table took the front row seat when a family came along, and the guitar went into the closet for over 3 decades. Now with the family "all raised up" his guitar has made a comeback. Joining the Blackbury Band has been an "unexpected treat." Although this CD is 30 years too late, it is never too late to for a music lover to get that instrument out of the closet and get reacquainted with an old love.
Garry Bury: Vocals
Garry Bury is a native Kansan, with a love of the old west, and the colorful cow town heritage of his home state. He is the youngest male member of the band, and was raised watching the TV westerns of the 1960’s. Garry says when he grows up, he “wants to be a cowboy”. Although they were before his time, Garry loves the silver screen portrayals of the cowboy way, filmed in the 30s, 40s and 50s. His music style is influenced by the vintage country music greats, Hank Williams, the Sons of the Pioneers and Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
Garry is the lead singer for the group, LB calls him The Crooner. He sang for decades in the shower and from the congregation side of the pulpit at church. It wasn’t until the turn of the new century that Garry started “singing out”, then performing. His rich baritone voice harmonizes so naturally with that of Bob’s & LB’s, you’d think they were brothers. Garry appreciates Bob and LB’s musical expertise and has had a great time riding this trail with them.

The Blackbury Band did a small gig in Cadmus for my husband's 50th Birthday party. They were awesome! This band sound great, looked great and were excellent to interact with the group. My husband was allowed to play and sing a couple of songs, as well as our 2 nieces (2 & 4 years old). You couldn't ask for a better group of folks to entertain "your own folks" who are near and dear to your hearts. They deserve double stars for their efforts. Thanks guys, you were great!
Great Job
author: George ChaffeeWhat a great, relaxed groove! Makes me want to dust off my old guitar and sing along. Somewhere, ol' Bob Wills is grinnin.
What a unexpected treat!
author: Mike HicksGuys, I want to thank you for what turned out be a truly unexpected pleasure. We got a chance to enjoy your performance at the Overland Park Clock Tower. Wow! My wife and I enjoyed it so much, we bought one CD for us and 1 for my parents who love this style of music. We're planning on catching your future performances in the KC area. Thanks again and keep on keeping on, you're all great! Really makes me want to sing along(which I did at the farmer's market) Thanks!
The tightest harmonies of any western swing band.
author: LaurieIn San Antonio, we love our old-timey western music. This band is not only truly authentic, but the harmonies are absolutely out of this world. Word of mouth around the western swing community brought this band to my attention, and now I see them whenever I'm in the Kansas City area (I've even made special road trips). By the way, they're easy on the eyes too.
