Hugh Jackman, Richard Marx Surprise KingBilly Fans

Hugh Jackman and Richard MarxYou may have never heard of this bluegrassy country rock band KingBilly, but that no longer matters. Because once you've had the legendary pop hero Richard Marx and the Australian leading man Hugh Jackman onstage with you, what else matters, really? I have no idea what went down behind the scenes to get these stars together. I just know that last night (July 30) at Joe's Bar in Chicago, Marx joined the band and did six songs, like "Don't Mean Nothing" and Keith Urban's "Better Life" (which Marx wrote with Urban). Then Jackman hoped up there for a duet on Marx' "Right Here Waiting." The only thing missing, really, was me.

    That would’ve been pretty cool to see. I hope Marx does some of his nash-pop stuff in Decatur next Sunday…

    KingBilly is amazing. I saw Richard sit in with them in Nashville too last year. They were rocking out…

    Love Kingbilly. What a talented group of young guys. I wish they would get a CD and video out, instead of just the odd appearance on the other music channel.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion as am I, and I checked out Kingbilly, and didn’t like that style of music at all. Sounds like just another Pop act to me.

    Come see a live show and meet them, you might change your mind. Great guys and their site does not accurately reflect their music. They are the real deal and will be friends for life.
