Legacy Folk and Acoustic Music Company PuffBunny Records Releases Two-Disc CD Sampler - Available now!

PuffBunny Records is an independent label that aims to capture one-of-a-kind acoustic performances in time – either live in front of an audience or in a studio environment: to preserve and make them available to the public. To celebrate its more than 15-year history, the label has just released a two-disc PuffBunny Records 2024 Sampler that is also available online for streamlining and downloading.

PuffBunny Records (puffbunnyrecords.com) was initially launched in 2007 as a vehicle to share the music of Taylor Pie (Susan Taylor), a Tennessee-based traveling folk minstrel and American artist who helped form the Pozo Seco Singers with Don Williams in the early 1960s. She has been a solo singer-songwriter and musician since the folk group disbanded. Many notable artists have covered her songs, and she stars in the award-winning music documentary “Nobody Famous.”

The Texas-based label has also shared the music of artists whom Pie and Kathy Harrison, her friend and business partner, admire and recognize for the folk thread that runs through their songs. In addition to Pie, artists featured on the PuffBunny Records 2024 Sampler include Ruby Lovett, George Ensle, Shake Russell & Michael Hearne with Mike Roberts, Michael O’Connor, Jack Saunders, Greg Whitfield, Allen Reynolds, Jeff Plankenhorn, Renfree Isaacs, and Debbie Nims.

Hey! Webb House Concert alumni Jason Wilbur!

🎸 If you're a guitar player or aspiring guitar player, I hope you'll join us this Sunday January 29th at 7pm Eastern for an online Guitar Master Class. You'll learn how to play fills and leads; how to accompany a vocalist; secrets of great guitar tone; and more. There will be a Q&A session at the end where you can ask questions. I've been looking forward to this all month. It's going to be a lot of fun! 🎸

📡 The class will be live streamed, so you can watch online from anywhere. If you aren't able to tune in and watch live for any reason, you can watch afterwards (or watch again) at your convenience! The master class will be available for viewing on demand for 30 days after the initial show date. 📡

🎁 This online Guitar Master Class makes a great gift for the guitar player in your life! 🎁

A wonderful evening with good friends, some old, some new! One of my favorite Taylor Pie songs “Walking on the Moon” sung by Ruby Lovett with Pie on guitar.

How to bring back the music!

Three things you can do right now to help rebuild the music scene:

1)Join email lists. People will contact me on Facebook and say, “I missed the show! Did you announce it?” Yes I did. They missed it because Facebook is unreliable and they are not on the email list. Mine is here: https://jonathanbyrd.com

2)Subscribe. You subscribe to Amazon Prime? Disney Plus? Sheetz coffee club? Subscribe to me. Subscriptions help average out income in a business that has always been feast or famine and is now even more so. I offer exclusive content, a monthly private online concert, and discounts on my workshops and music- for less than a Prime membership or even the Sheetz coffee club. https://patreon.com/jonathanbyrdmusic

3)Buy tickets in advance. I had to cancel a show Thursday for lack of ticket sales. Then a couple of fans told me they drove to the show because they didn’t know it was canceled. See item 1, and honestly, I would have played that show just to break even- which was 10 TICKETS. That’s all I needed. If everyone who was interested had bought advance tickets we might have had a beautiful, intimate show.

Join the email list. Subscribe. Buy advance tickets.

Do these three things for your favorite artists and venues, and we will work our asses off to bring you music again. I promise.

Your fan,

JByrd

Hey!! Look!!

Howdy all my South Austin, Buda, Kyle, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and San Antonio friends! I hope you'll join us October 24th at The Redbird Listening Room for an intimate concert. I'll be one week post Honky-Tonk Macbeth release, and I'm sure I'll be in need of some good times with good times. Hope to see you there.
