Aberdeen Songs, Dean Backholm, Murchy Brothers and Home with Bruce Hilliard

Welcome to the Better Each Day podcast from me to you, episode 200. I’ve had almost four years of podcast analytics to support an argument that the most popular Better Each Day episodes aren’t what you’d think.

We’ve hosted some of the friendliest and compelling guests of all levels of notoriety. Surprising to me at first was that the episodes about artists closer to western Washington, especially shows where my lifelong friends from my hometown Aberdeen WA are featured, get the most attention. But the episodes that get the most hits are the ones about me. Me the singer/songwriter podcast dude that performs, teaches and sells paint.


This episode is super special to me because it features a song apiece from Dean Backholm, Dick and Sandy Murchy and one from me. Our styles differ but would fit well as a concert somewhere that has trees and sea gulls.


The songs I selected are very Aberdeen, Grays Harbor. Dean-o sings his song Lady of the Sea, followed by Murchy Brothers’ awesome vocals On the Water and do-re-me singing about driving to the beach.

Profile picture for Bruce Hilliard

Bruce Hilliard

Born in Seattle, raised in Aberdeen WA, Bruce Hilliard is a singer, guitarist and songwriter with a song list influenced mostly by pop/folk rock of the 60s-80s. He has been an opener for Heart, the Ramones, Dr. Hook, Wishbone Ash and Eric Burdon.
Early in his career Bruce completed Bachelor Degrees in Music and Journalism from Washington State University and, while never allowing a hiatus from performing and songwriting, joined corporate America in marketing and sales. That rocky road led him back to his passion and now records and performs live and with great appreciation to be back in his jam.
He currently resides in Mukilteo WA and hosts the Better Each Day Podcast Radio Show. His musician interview based show has featured recording artists including John Oates; Grand Funk Railroad’s frontman Mark Farner; Steve Fossen, bass player and co-founder of Heart; drummer Carmine Appice; and Dave Bickler, lead vocalist (Eye Of the Tiger) of Survivor. The weekly half hour show has over 181 episodes and is becoming a strong platform for musicians of all levels to showcase their music and their backstories.
