Billy Falcon and Bon Jovi in Memphis - TN

Latest News From Billy Falcon

Hey everyone,

We  opened for Bon Jovi  last Thursday May 19. Memphis was the best yet ..At 7.30 pm we took the

stage in the Fedx arena ..13 of us, my friends all around me, my beautiful daughter Rosey to my right .

Standing on that stage singing these songs with all these beautiful souls around me, I was so proud and so thankful. When I'm up there with the Sowing Circle it's more than a band, feels more like a family.

I think the audience feels it too.

The audience response was truly amazing ...

We made alot of new friends and believers....

after the set we all went up and stood at a merch table, to meet and greet the audience.

We did that until Jon took the stage. At that point, I went in to watch a few songs from Jon and the boys...

then I had to run around the corner to soundcheck for our Sowing circle after party show which started shortly after Jon finished...we played from 11:30 till around 2am, then loaded up the bus and headed home to Nashville.

We pulled into the Publix shopping center at 6am, where we all left our cars 24 hrs earlier...

Next stop, Oslow Norway June 15... come on !!

Bon Jovi's staff told us they had great feedback, the best they ever received on an opening act.

The connection between Falcon and Bon Jovi is long and wide; Falcon has co-written more than a dozen songs on the last six Bon Jovi albums, including the hit singles “When We Were Beautiful” and “Superman Tonight” from Bon Jovi’s album THE CIRCLE (2009). Alternatively, Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora lent their songwriting talents to Falcon’s new solo record, WHEN, which will be mutually celebrated during Falcon’s one-night-only opening set at Bon Jovi’s Raleigh concert.

“Billy Falcon is not only one of my favorite guys, he was—and is still—one of my favorite songwriters,” said Jon Bon Jovi.  “I dare you NOT to be moved by his lyrics.  We have collaborated many times, not only for my records, but we have written songs for other artists who have found that special something in the song.  Find Billy Falcon’s new album, WHEN. You can thank me later.”

In addition to his considerable songwriting credits with Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon and his daughter, Rose, co-wrote the track “Give In To Me,” which is featured in the new Sony Pictures film Country Strong and performed by Faith Hill on the soundtrack.

Nashville-based Falcon’s latest record, WHEN, features 13 songs that continue his acclaimed legacy; daughter, Rose, laces the project with breathtaking harmonies. The CD is available NOW via HYPERLINK “http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/when/id414895086″iTunes.

Over Falcon’s lengthy career, the singer/songwriter has released a dozen albums, each remaining true to his hallmark of beautifully crafted songs with lyrics that move the listener to laugh, cry, contemplate, remember and hope.  He signed his first record contract with a major label at age 18, followed by the critically acclaimed release of 1991’s PRETTY BLUE WORLD which featured the Top 40 hit “Power Windows.”  Falcon’s songs have been covered by Stevie Nicks, Cher, Meatloaf and Trace Adkins, among others.
