You may know Billy Bob Thornton as an Oscar-winning writer, Oscar-nominated actor, and award-winning director, or maybe you simply know him as "Bad Santa,” but did you know 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 catalog of music that touches on their love of a wide array of influences, but most importantly, the rock and roll of the 1960s. Their tour will soon bring them to New Jersey where audiences can enjoy the up-tempo 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. The tour comes to The Levoy Theatre in Millville on Wednesday, June 21st and Monmouth University's Center for the Arts on Saturday, June 24th.
