Sharon Buck & Dixon Road Record Album

Has it really happened? Is my dream of almost 20 years really coming true?

 

You bet it is!

The last few years of my life I have been writing songs. Not knowing if they were good enough. Not knowing if they even made sense. Wondering at all if anyone would want to give them a listen. After recording 'Good Ol' Country Boys' a few years ago and the response from the fans, I was inspired to do more. Now, with the encouragement from my wonderful husband-to-be, my songs are being given life.

 

Dixon Road is more than just a country band that does cover songs. The men of Dixon Road, Ed Nevins, Eddie Boudreau, Bruce Burpee and Craig Stutzman, have become my best friends that see potential in me, our band, the songs and where our band can go. They tell me when something doesn't sound right, they tell me when it's rockin' and they tell me they are happy.

 

Last night in the studio with Brad Truman of B & R Studios, we laid down the vocal tracks, including background vocals, for 2 out of 5 songs. So, it's not done YET...I have to go back next Thursday and finish laying down the vocals for the other 3. Things are coming together and we are hoping to have it ready for our concert with B98.5's Waterfront Wednesday on June 25th.

 

Here are some of the pics from last night.

 

Thank you all so much for believing in us.

 

You've been anxiously waiting for the album and it is becoming a reality. All thanks to you because, without you, we wouldn't be anywhere! You, who come out to all our shows, buy our tshirts and bumper stickers, tell new places about us and get us booked without our even knowing.... YOU are the amazing part of us.

 

This is for you an anyone who has ever wanted a dream to come true.

 

 

Sharon Started Her New Job!

And here it is...ANOTHER Monday!
But THIS Monday is the one I have been looking forward to for awhile...

Today I started my job at Kennebec Behavioral Health. It's not really a NEW job. You see, I have been working per diem since 2006 in the billing and managed care departments. I have been doing medical billing for the past 17 years and when they said they needed someone FULL TIME I had to apply. They have EXCELLENT benefits and the people I worked with were fantastic! How could I not?

Bradley and Anderson woke up at 6:15 this morning and we were out the door in record time. I dropped them off with my niece, Katherine, to take the bus to school with Anderson's cousins, Aubrey and Trenton. He doesn't get to see them much because I am so busy. Now, that I'm a mom with a regular schedule, family time will be more frequent. That's a wonderful thing!

And how is my first day going? Well, I am on my lunch break typing this just to say that I am having a BLAST! When I walked in the door, Kathy at the front desk looked at me and said 'Welcome Home'.

And I am. And I am very happy.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my decision. I like being an asset to the team I have worked with for years.

Some Great Fans of Sharon Buck & Dixon Road

My band, Dixon Road, plays a lot. Like, EVERY WEEKEND! It's a good thing Chad is so supportive of my musical habits! I have managed to keep a few weekends free so we can go camping with the kids.

One of the places we play is Crystal Falls in Chelsea. It's a big BYOB club. That means you pay a set price and you supply the alcohol and snacks. Although they DO have Miss Rita behind the counter that can get you water, snacks and hot dogs that are available for purchase

The patrons of Crystal Falls LOVE to dance! As soon as the first song plays the dance floor is PACKED! Everyone comes to Crystal Falls to dance.

I've been singing there for the past 6 years and the people that I see there each and every time have really become my friends and family.

Here is a pic of some of my favorite people!
