Longtime friends of Sound 'n Music, Flipside goes all the way back to 1984, and for about eight years the band played a variety of music and was booked up to six nights a week in this area. In the early 90's the band members went their separate ways, and Flipside was on hiatus. But recently, the band reformed with the original four members! Playing regularly in the Louisville area, Flipside is once again cranking out the tunes you love. They also have a newly released CD called "The Evolution of
Flipside" which features songs they have recorded through the years. Check out their website for calendar dates! |

Other Friends Here's a compilation of pictures of some other performers that are friends of Sound 'n Music. |

Recording Artist Blake Stamper To say that, today, Blake is a country music artist would be vague at best. He plays self-dubbed hickabilly music. “It’s a fusion of everything; I figure if I make up the name describing my music, then anything goes.” Blake waxes his own brand of philosophical on the topic, “I made up hickabilly. I don’t know what the billy is, but I know what the hick is and that’s me.” Blake applies the same abandon to his songwriting that he uses to slash through his guitar strings. “When I write a song, I don’t write it with a certain intention. I just let it be and it finds its audience,” Stamper says. Often though, Blake’s Kentucky roots wander to the heartfelt Texas audience. Blake is one of our friends and customers at Sound 'n Music. www.blakestamper.com |

Johnie Pierce
Now a semi-retired musician, Johnie Pierce hails from Campbellsville, Kentucky. He is a MusicMan recording artist, singer and songwriter. In spite of the distance (65 miles) between Johnie's home and Sound 'n Music, he has regularly been making the trip since the late 1970's - even though there are much closer music stores! Johnie was the founder and the leader of the DawnBreakers band from 1966-2001, and also hosted his own television show for six years on Campbellsville station WGRB-TV, where he promoted Kentucky bands and
artists. Pictured is our own Gerry with Johnie Pierce.
