Kick Back With Dean Backholm and Bruce Hilliard Tunes

Hey everybody! My musical hometown Aberdeen WA and I welcome you to the Better Each Day Podcast Radio Show where you are my friends and listeners from all over the world...and me? I get to be the happy-go-lucky host Bruce Hilliard.

I mentioned Aberdeen because that’s where both of the guys you’re about to hear on this show hail from. The singer/songwriters I speak of are Dean Backholm and myself. Dean and I have worked together in the past but it’s been a while. To the tune of, oh I’m sure...decades.


About twenty years ago Dean recorded a solo album called A Question For You and it’s been a go to “feel good to hear Dean-o’s voice” record for me for all those years.


He doesn’t know it yet but we’re about to collaborate on a song or two in the near future. But for now, here’s a six song playlist I glued together featuring three of Dean’s songs and three of mine, every other track, starting with this love ballad by my lifelong friend, Dean Backholm. Here’s Montreal.


Montreal--Backholm

Roses and Strawberry Rain--Hilliard

Mother and Child--Backholm

Endless Rain--Hilliard

Lady Of The Sea--Backholm

Even If I Wanted To--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.
