Paul Bibeau, formerly of Spitfire Records and Relativity Records, is working on a brand new project. Spitfire Records became one of the premier independent record labels worldwide. Read what Paul has to say below:

“I hope all is well. This is Paul Bibeau formerly of Spitfire Records and Relativity Records respectively and I am working a new project that I am extremely excited about.

I have been enlisted to help build a Texas Guitar Army.
The Army will highlight several styles of playing allowing for a wide cross-section of support. Blending elements as diverse as Blues, Rock, Metal, Surf, Country, Rockabilly, Jazz, Fusion and everything in between into one Kick-Ass Show! Our goal is to assemble one of the most extremely diverse collection of guitarists ever with the intention of building this from a handful of shows in Texas to a global touring guitar lifestyle festival that is a cross between the Warp Tour and NAMM in the coming years.

In the short term, we are looking to schedule a hand-full of initial warm-up dates in three or four Texas cities in late August, early September. We are also building a Young Guns Army of up-in-comers in support, representing the millennial generation of guitar players. As the Army takes shape, we will be hitting the trail on a national tour.

The Guitar Army project is coming together rapidly. Dunlop is now aboard as a sponsor along with Arta Tequila. I been in dialog with Gibson and I am anxiously awaiting word about their level of commitment as well. We are wide open at this early stage so jump right in! Any level of support from you is not only welcomed, but seriously appreciated. We want to work together with our talent and our sponsors to create visibility and a unique vehicle for promotion for years to come.

The Texas Guitar Army will be lead by Lap Steel Guitar Virtuoso HeXx Henderson. As you probably know, I have worked with some of the best guitarists on the planet. HeXx blends many styles together, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Country, and Hawaiian music, with threads of Gospel, Pop, Surf, Metal, and Funk. Musical influences include rock guitar heroes like Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Roy Buchanan, Jeff Beck, The Ventures, and Lonny Mack, along with great Lap Steel Guitar players like Leon McAuliffe, Santo and Johnny, Buddy Emmons, Alvino Rey, and Little Roy Wiggins, pioneering lap steel Blues players Hop Wilson and Freddy Roulette, and jazz organ great Jimmy Smith. HeXx stuns audiences with his mind blowing lap steel prowess.

I am looking trying to create some awareness and possibly find a handful of players to guest with the Army. Honestly, I would love your feedback and welcome your suggestions, recommendations and input. If you would like more information, have any suggestions or would like to get involved, shoot me an e-mail @ Bibeau3636@yahoo.com or call my cell, (903)941-1542.”
