Consisting of actor, musician and drummer Billy Bob “Bud” Thornton, J.D. Andrews on bass, guitars, and vocals, as well as Michael Wayne Butler on guitars and lap steel, Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters put a unique spin on the genre by adding a dash of British Invasion-era rock to the mix.

In late 2017 and 2018, The Boxmasters had the honor to team up with legendary Engineer/Producer Geoff Emerick for an album that Geoff has called, “One of the most exciting projects I’ve worked on since The Beatles.”  The album Speck will be released on June 7th through KeenTone Records /Thirty Tigers.  Sadly, before Speck was formally released, Geoff passed away.

Known for taking over the engineer’s chair on The Beatle’s albums Revolver, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Bandand more, Geoff added a familiar sonic touch to the sound of The Boxmasters, who have been unapologetic Beatles and British Invasion fans.  His work on albums by Badfinger, The Zombies, America and Paul McCartney, among many others, have always been huge influences on The Boxmasters.
