“Bill Babnick has seen the TV show “Duck Dynasty” only a couple times. But the Albuquerque-based country singer may just become a fan. Babnick’s latest song, “Playin’ in the Mud,” will be featured during Wednesday’s episode. “It’s amazing to have this kind of exposure,” he said. “When I first wrote this song, I knew that it had mass appeal, and things are starting to happen. I’m glad that I knew the song was special enough for me to keep. I was shopping it around to other musicians.” “Duck Dynasty” is a reality show on A&E, which shows the lives of the Robertson family, who went from poverty to wealth due to the sales of their duck calls. The series has been around for two seasons and averages nearly 2 million viewers. Babnick’s song was chosen to air during the episode, and it comes hot on the heels of Babnick being offered a gig performing for concerts at Melloy Dodge events around the city. He said Randy Martin of Melloy Dodge asked him to perform”

“SINGER BUILDING AN AUDIENCE: Bill Babnick grew up around country music. The Farmington native was introduced to the genre by his mom and grandfather. “It’s just something that was always there,” he said during a recent interview. “So when I decided I wanted to play music, country was that genre.” Babnick was born in Farmington and raised in Jal, then moved to Albuquerque, where he graduated from Cibola High School. It was during his time at Cibola where his songwriting took off. “I sold my first song when I was 17 and had no clue about the business,” he said. “Now that I’m older, I’ve learned the ins and outs of the business.” Influenced by the likes of Randy Travis and Garth Brooks, Babnick has continued to work on his songwriting and stage performance. He credits his wife for pushing him into pursuing music full time. “She has been one of my biggest supporters, and I’m lucky to have her,” he said. “I get pushed every day to become better.” In the span ”

"What was amazing was the fact that the crowd around where Local Singer/Songwriter Bill Babnick was performing was just as large and seemed even more entertained than the concert inside the Fair Pavilion."

— Nathalie Baret, Albuquerque Journal
