Blag Dahlia & Ralph Champagne - Blag Dahlia is a rock legend. Founder of the Dwarves and the Greedy Media empire, his uncompromising vision of rock & roll, dazzling production and filthy lyrics have created a unique legacy spanning over four decades. And now, like a glutton at the table of American entertainment, Blag needs new horizons to conquer: enter Ralph Champagne.
Champagne made his name as a rodeo clown and tobacco company executive before jumping headlong into the entertainment field as Reba McEntire’s hairdresser in 1995. After perfecting the country perm and making a fortune in wash and wear bandannas, he decided to break into show business as a performer on the USO circuit. Following the release of his 2014 record “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” he was tapped by Army Intelligence to convert lesbian soldiers. His duet with Larry The Cable Guy, “Get ‘er Done, America”, won him a knighthood from the Trump administration and inspired the Taliban to give up terrorism and pursue fly fishing instead.
During the plague year of 2020 songwriter Dahlia and vocalist Champagne joined forces to create the “Introducing Ralph Champagne” LP. A certified platinum hit in Moldavia and the Falklands, Dahlia and Champagne have spent 2021 on the road, hitting the charity circuit in support of Unwed Mothers. Their first single ‘Contraband: The Remix’ is already making waves for its futuristic vision of trucker country fused with club beats and ketamine. Blag Dahlia and Ralph Champagne bring you the finest in Americana music and good old-fashioned entertainment. See them now from the cheap seats, before CMT declares them national treasures and the very best-looking duo in show business.
Elvis Cortez is a Mexican American singer songwriter and guitarist. Considered by many in the music industry as the hardest working man in music. Cortez splits his time between various bands such as Left Alone, The Transplants, Manic Hispanic and Tim Timebomb and Friends. While also having an acoustic solo career, running an independent record label, band merchandise company, putting on local shows and an annual Music festival called Skalloween, now in its 20th year running.
Elvis is a California native living in the San Bernardino mountains spending his free time crafting acoustic songs on a six string strumming tunes among the trees. The songs are a little country, a little punk and a dash of pop that can all be filed under Broken Hearted Songs. Singing in both English and Spanish Elvis has toured in the USA and Mexico.
