Biography
I am a Traditional Country Singer and Song Writer. My Dad was a big influence, by playing all the greats of country music as you can hear in the song I wrote dedicated to his memory called "I Still Have My Memories".
I have had limited play in the United States, but have done very well overseas on the independent circuit as they seem to except the traditional country songs much more. I have been blessed to have my music played on radio stations in Australia, New Zealand, all throughout Europe, Great Britain, Ireland, and Japan.
There is a music chart in Europe called the ECMA (European Country Music Association) and they do a top 20 chart of songs per country. I have been able to chart in Poland, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, United Kingdom, Malta, and Scandinavia (Norway & Sweden). My two highest charting songs were "Luisa" which hit #9 in the United Kingdom, and "Streets of Laredo" which hit #8 in Belgium and #9 in Ireland. In 2013 Another Senorita was #4 in Sweden and Just One Glance hit #5 in Germany.
In the United States I was picked as Lia's 15 second's of fame person, for her Nationally aired show where she interviewed me, played 15 seconds of my song and put the whole song on her web site. I was also invited to perform on the Country Corner TV show out of Georgia which I did back in 2004.
I hope you enjoy my music and I would love to hear from all of you out there in the U.S and Overseas. I have made great friends with DJ's around the world and I am so thankful for all of your support of my music.
Trying to keep it country,
Bill Barnes
