If You Can’t Shag…..Hall of Fame? “Mo’ Better” #1?

Another surprise for our merry band of music makers…………94.9 the Surf radio station in N. Myrtle Beach has placed our first single “If You Can’t Shag” into the Surf Hall of Fame.  The song has been on their Top 40 chart for a year, peaking at #1, and either they got tired of hearing it, or felt it was deserving.  Either way, the band and I are thrilled.

Speaking of thrills, our second single “Mo’ Better” bounced back to the #1 position on Cashbox Magazine’s Beach Music Singles Chart the week of June 13th.  The song also topped the National Beach Music Top 40 chart on the Endless Summer Network.  We must have done something right in a previous life!

And the hits keep rolling, check this out.  A cook at a bar and grille named Chappy’s (in the Nashville area) came to one of the Cornhole Prophets’ BBQ parties after a show, and he liked our BBQ sauce so much (of course it’s a vinegar based sauce that has not been tainted with tomatoes), he wants to start serving it on their menu and credit it as “Rev. Bubba D. Liverance’s “Mo’ Better” BBQ Sauce!  Now that’s an honor!  Maybe if this music thing doesn’t work out, there could be a future on the Food Network?  How does “Cooking with the Cornhole Prophets” sound?   Y’all be cool.  Bubba D.

June 2009 Bubba D. Liverance Update

Hey yall!

Just returned home from a 4 day run in Tennessee and Arkansas, and for the next few weeks, most of our playdates are in Alabama.  One of the very best clubs in Alabama (or the entire country) is the War Eagle Supper Club in Auburn.  We’ll be doing several “special appearance” shows beginning June 14, and again on June 28th and July 5th.  These will be early shows beginning at 8pm (hey, I like early shows so I can get home and get my beauty rest).

The Supper Club has been in business since the 1930’s and is owned by two great guys, John Brandt and Snapper Cadenhead.  I’ve seen everyone there from David Allan Coe, Little Feat, Kinney Chesney, Cheap Trick, and now Rev. Bubba D. Liverance & the Cornhole Prophets plan to make their mark!

Also, we’re playing our first South Carolina date at the Rendezvous in Greenville, SC August 15 and 16.  Our buddy Spanky Jim Miller will be hosting and I can guarantee you the Cornhole Prophets will be “throwin’ down”!  We’re going to try and “con” our good friends The Fabulous Shades into joining us onstage.

Had my first conversation yesterday with ‘Fessa John Hook” from the Endless Summer Network.  What I thought would be a 5 minute chat, became an hour long.  My knowledge of music history pales in comparison to the good ‘Fessa and I wish we could have continued for a few more hours.  This guy literally “wrote the book” on Beach Music and Shag Dance and has a hilarious story about nearly every song and every artist in the genre. 

Got an email from a girl in North Carolina saying she heard Pat Patterson playing the song “Let My Peoples Dance” on John FM out of Charleston (she was probably listening online or maybe travelling through Charleston).  We’ve never released that particular song as a single, but we’re mighty happy it’s getting airplay.  Thanks Pat!

Yall be cool, and we hope to see you soon!  Bubba D. Liverance
