The Boxmasters is an American rock band founded in Bellflower, California, in 2007 by Academy Award-winning actor Billy Bob Thornton and J.D. Andrew. With a discography of ten albums, the group has made their mark on the music scene.
Combining their passion for music with their artistic talents, The Boxmasters have created a unique sound that blends elements of rock, country, and folk. Their songs are filled with heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies that resonate with listeners.
Known for their energetic live performances, The Boxmasters have gained a loyal fan base around the world. Their commitment to creating authentic and honest music sets them apart from other bands in the industry.

Drawing upon the sounds of the Vox Jaguar, Mellotron and Farfisa keyboards The Boxmasters formed their 9th release Light Rays. Light Rays starts off the album with the first track and single Breathe Easy, a breezy pop song that any parent can relate to.

“It’s a song to my daughter Bella explaining why I’m so over-protective.” says Bud. Says J.D. “As a father myself, I totally related to the lyric and it is the only time I’ve cried when I read a lyric that Bud sent me.” Other highlights from Light Rays include the title track about a man in a mental institution singing to the object of his infatuation and “Satellite Guy” which is a track influenced by The Boxmasters’ love of the legendary Los Angeles band War. 

Light Rays will be the first album that The Boxmasters have released that won’t have a tour based on it to support the release due to the Coronavirus. A European, Canadian and U.S. tour was booked for the summer of 2020 but has been postponed until the summer of 2021 which was a first for The Boxmasters. Listening to The Boxmasters, one can hear obvious odes to the Beatles, Byrds and Beach Boys, but also important to The Boxmasters are The Mothers of Invention, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine and Big.
