FLIP FLOPS!
The song “Flip Flops” by country music
artist Billy Craig turned into the number one requested song on
K94 New Country and Your All Time Favorites this weekend.
Playing alongside such big names as Sugerland, Alabama, and Alan
Jackson, this new artist and his song “Flip Flops” have the
ability to hold-up next to some of the biggest artist’s of our
time.
“K94 has a very wide listener base which provides a great test
market for the song, which is already showing positive upward
momentum. The traction this single is already gaining truly
shows that listening audiences from all demographic profiles do
respond in a very positive way to this Jimmy Buffet-ish, laid
back tune,” said Scott Gordon, long time Music Industry
professional and Radio Consultant.
“Flip Flops” presence has grown both on broadcast and internet
radio, and Billy has been contacted by some heavy hitters who
are interested in licensing some of the music from his current,
full-length release, This Side of Somewhere for several new
television shows debuting this fall.

Time Radio
Trop Rock: Blend Of Rock & COUNTRY Music
Billy Craig went live on air to a worldwide audience Monday
night (6/30) with host Dennis “DK” King and his Island Time
Radio Show on
- WWBC-88.3FM/Berea, OH getting an incredible
response.
The interview started out with ‘The Good
Side of Life” a cut off Billy’s brand new CD, This Side Of
Somewhere,
“It was a great interview” Billy said “DK Played a few songs off
the CD and I was able to unveil a brand new song live on air
with my acoustic guitar. I’ll be going into the studio to start
the recording of the next CD in the next month or so and it was
great to get a new song out to a big audience.
Island Time is a show every Monday of Trop Rock music--a mixture
of rock-n-roll and COUNTRY music blended with an island style
theme and lyrics. The host regularly features in-studio and
phone interviews from Trop Rock artists, local and national so
it was a natural to bring Billy onto the show.
DK ended the show playing Billy’s current hit Flip Flops which
has been getting regular airplay around the country and
worldwide.
