Michael J. Babb Releases Anthem

for Fishing & Fun

Michael J. Babb's latest single, "Catfish Belly Saloon," is a spirited homage to fishing tales and the fellowship of the local saloon. This track, imbued with the essence of country life and camaraderie, is set to become the anthem for fishing enthusiasts and modern day saloon-goers alike.

Babb, an Oklahoma native with a rich musical and medical background, combines infectious melodies with engaging narratives, celebrating the simple pleasures of life.

"Catfish Belly Saloon" encapsulates the joy of shared stories and adventures, evoking the warmth and laughter that come from gathering with friends. Babb's journey from a passionate young musician to a seasoned artist and family physician has been marked by a diverse array of influences, from classic rock to modern pop, shaping his eclectic songwriting style.

“If you're a fan of spirited fishing stories and cooling off at your local saloon with a beer, 'Catfish Belly Saloon' is poised to become your go-to anthem. And remember, noodling for catfish is an adventure that's not for everyone,” jokes Babb.

With this latest release, Babb invites listeners to embrace the fun of fishing and the bonds formed over cold drinks, offering a lively soundtrack for spring outings and summer adventures.
