King’s Landing has consistently been one of the best sounding, most professional bands that I have ever had the privilege of running sound for. They are all down-to-Earth musicians and down-to-Earth just plain damn good guys. I don’t ever have to deal with egos or whining and complaining — they deserve the win in this contest. Best country band in Dayton? Check their Myspace for their schedule — Kentucky, Nashville, and all over Ohio — not just the Dayton area.

I’m not one of The Alabastards band members, and yet I want to vote for them!!! Look all the way down the comments, and you’ll see that there are a lot of women wanting to vote for them, as well as men, that are NOT members of the band. Get your facts straight!

Since its such a big deal to you guys about playing original music, ALL 4 BANDS nominated have original material. Hmmm Gene Bowshier has released several cds that have actually sold pretty well. Kings Landing has original material that has been played on radio all acroos the country with great reviews. So now that you know this, What else are you going to complain about besides losing.

Roy,

First off I have better things to do than sit around dicking off on myspace. I just cleared my personal site cause I am to Busy Making Music to update it. Our myspace and website are being created by actual professional designers at the moment. I have over 500 original songs, and whether you believe that or not I could honestly care less. We, The Alabastards make original country music. We have had countless fans tell you that on here!

I am gonna ghost vote for the Alabastards on this; since they are not on the nominee list. As for the name…it’s the same kick in the teeth as the real country/southern music they play. I guess if they want to be popular on this blog station, they should change their name to- “Promise not to perform original music but, will jump around on stage to appease OCMA” NOT!

By Two-Step

How can the Ohio Country Music Association say it doesn’t matter if you play covers are not? That’s absolutely absurd. That all country music is! It’s a song! A real song! Not smoke and mirrors and a*s shaking! It’s a real heart felt song! Easy Creek, and The Alabastards…..that’s country music. Plain and simple.

By Two-Step

July 13, 2009 12:43 AM | Link to this

I know some of the guys from Easy Creek, they are great! And they are great because they play their own music. I’m not saying that other bands aren’t good because they play covers, but you’ll never be the best if you spend all your time doing other peoples work. You say you are looking for raw talent? Your looking for a carbon copy of a Nashville machine made sound. If that’s what you are looking for, then I know for a fact I don’t my music anywhere near this debate.

By Ohios Country Music Association

Easy Creek I have heard of and seen live. Good show I must say but not very energetic. What the OCMA is looking for is raw talent, energy, stage presence, crowd following. As you can tell some of the bands that are nominated has every bit of that. It doesnt matter if you sing original music or covers, its the way you perform is what keeps you alive in the music industry these days, so I wouldnt be saying anything about these bands playing covers. I gurantee they will be around for years and year

HOW CAN BANDS THAT LIVE AND PLAY IN TROY AND TIPP CITY AND SPRINGFIELD THINK THAT THEY ARE DAYTONS BEST BAND. THEY SHOULD TRY TO BE THE BEST BAND WHERE THEY LIVE. I HAVE BEEN TO EASY CREEKS MYSPACE AND ALL I HEARD WAS MARSHALL TUCKER. ALABASTARDS , I HEARD NOTHING, NO MUSIC.

Ok first off it is “The Alabastards”, and it is our original name. We were not nominated because our fans don’t read this publication or frequent this site. Now yes I understand the rules, and no I don’t care. Our fans are talking about us on here, and that’s the way they are nominating us!

By Ohios Country Music Association

All I can say is if you want to be voted for, YOU HAVE TO BE NOMINATED. If Alabastards are so good, you would think their fans would have nominated them.. Maybe Next Year.

I won’t be able to cast my vote until the “Alabastards” are in the local country band lineup. Plain and simple the Alabastards are the real deal. Shaddix and the band wrap around the lyrics and melodies like calloused hands on an ice cold longneck.From the moaning steel guitar, lonesome harp, to the 5 string banjo, Alabastards evokes images of smoke filled honky tonks of yesteryear and is just what this area needs when it comes to true country music. Give them a listen and prove me wrong!

Well lets see, Gene Bowsheir & Kings Landing are Nashville Recording Artist well known around Ohio as well as many other states. If you havent heard of these 2 bands then you really need to get out more. Both bands schedules are packed full and looks like no slowing down anytime soon. And OH YES Ohio does have a Country Music Association.

Seems one ought to be able to have a greater choice than these 4. Dry Branch has been around for decades; they must be in their 60s. My vote would be for Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers but they’re really bluegrass, not country as such.
