This week on Story & Craft, we sit down with Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, Billy Bob Thornton.  Billy needs no introduction, as he’s been on the scene for quite a while.  His body of work is extensive, and includes big and small screen projects, such as Slingblade, Bad Santa, The Man Who Wasn’t There, The Alamo, Fargo, Goliath and most recently, the Paramount+ show, 1883.  Billy is also a talented and accomplished musician.  In 2007, Billy connected with JD Andrew to form the group, The Boxmasters.  This spring, Billy and JD will release their latest album, “Help…I’m Alive”, as well as hit the road for a tour that will keep rolling into summer.  Join me for this episode, as we get to know Billy Bob Thornton and JD Andrew, and talk music, touring and how the creative process compares to making movies.
