Sold Out Crowd!!

Wow, I let time just slip away and I just realized how long it's been since I have blogged. So here I go again. I want to start by saying thank you to everyone for all of the support you have given me and my music career. You are all amazing friends, family, and fans! The constant comments you send me really keep my head up when things start to get a little rough. There are always obstacles that come and go and you are the reason I can get by them.

For example: I just had a one of the best times of my life at a SOLD OUT Backdoor Theatre in Wichita Falls, TX! That will really make a person feel good! This was a great sounding room and was filled to it's capacity with great people eager to listen to the music. I really appreciate the Backdoor Theatre for all of the help making this show happen. I will be adding pictures and videos from the show very soon to the website for you to see.

Be sure to check back because I have a lot to talk about that is coming up very soon and I am really excited to tell you about!

Special Olympics Fund Raiser

We performed at the Bragging Rights Games on Saturday night in Burkburnett, TX to benefit the Special Olympics and it was a good time and a good cause. I hope some money was raised for the Special Olympics and I look forward to next years event. Thank you to Mike Strickland for having us headline the event and for taking good care of us.

I am releasing my next single to radio this week! Listen for "Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame" on your radio station very soon and please request it every chance you get. I'm looking forward to continuing the radio tour very soon. Meanwhile, I am booking shows almost everyday so hopefully you can come out and see the show near your home town.

Hot Weather, Blah

I took a much needed trip to Pagosa Springs, Colorado and just got home from the trip. I almost forgot how hot it is here.

I am about to start promoting my next single on radio next week. Keep an ear out for it at your station and please request it so they know you are listening! The single is "Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame".

I will be performing this Saturday night with the band at the Bragging Rights Games in Burkburnett, TX. This is a fund raiser for the Special Olympics! I will be playing from 9 until 10:30 pm so please come out and join us if you get the chance.

I will also be performing at the Backdoor Theatre on August 14th in Wichita Falls, TX. This is a great concert venue and I am really looking forward to both of these shows. I hope to see you there!

Happy Birthday America!

What a great weekend! I played a show on Friday night at The Ranch on Possum Kingdom that was even better than last year. That place is awesome and the people are great. Thank you to Patty for having us back again this year. I had a great time. You always take good care of us when we come there and I really appreciate it. Hopefully we can come back again soon.

I played Saturday night for the Wichita Falls Tea Party Patriots outside of the Howard Johnson hotel and it too was awesome. Thank you to Tony, Mike, and Tinker as well as all the other patriots for taking such great care of us and treating us like stars. You all put on the best July 4th event that I have ever been to. It is good to be surrounded by proud American people that want the very best for their country and are willing to work hard to make it that way. You are those people and I appreciate you for that.

I will have a new single releasing to radio real soon so stay tuned to find out when it comes to your radio station. Fortunately, my first single "One More Day" did very well on the charts for a new artist and hopefully that luck will carry over for my next single. The next single is "Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame"!!

Wichita Falls Tea Party July 4th Celebration!

It's been blazing hot here at home lately. That's no shocker, it's always this way during the summers here. I have been helping my neighbors build their new house this week. It's a lot of hard work but it's also really rewarding and we always have a lot of fun. The house will be really nice when it's finished!

I have a big show coming up on July 4th in Wichita Falls, TX for the Wichita Falls Tea Party Patriots. I feel very honored to be asked to perform for this event. It will be held at the Inn at the Falls just next to the big waterfall. We are expecting a huge turnout and I know it will be a lot of fun. You can find more information about this event and this organization at www.wfteapartypatriots.org. Please come on out and enjoy all of the events that have been planned along with the fireworks. I will be playing from 5 pm until 8:30 pm so be sure to get there early to see my show. See you there!

Big "D" and Bubba!

I had a great time at the Imagination Library fund raiser just outside of Henrietta, TX this past Saturday. This was a wonderful event that raised money for a great cause and I'm honored they asked me to be a part of it. Thank you to everyone who attended and thank you to Dottie and Lonnie Morrison for being such good hosts and giving of yourselves for the good of others.

I did an interview this morning with Big "D" and Bubba that will be aired on July 3rd on Lonestar 102.3 here in Wichita Falls, TX. They interviewed me about the 4th of July Fireworks show that I'm performing at for the Wichita Falls Tea Party Patriots. This is going to be a really cool event and we are expecting a huge crowd. This event will be held at the Inn At The Falls just next to the big waterfalls. The interview was very short but I will take what I can get! Be sure to listen for the interview on the morning show if you live in the area.

We had a great time at the Longhorn Saloon in Fort Worth on Friday night! As I mentioned in the previous blog, I love the Stock Yards. I felt like a little kid again. The weather got a little rough at times and I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but we never had to run for cover and that makes me happy. I got to hang out with the Jeremiah Houston Band before they kicked the show off. They are all good guys and it was good to spend some time visiting with them about what is going on in their careers. I always like to meet others that are doing the same thing I am doing. That doesn't happen very often unless I am playing at the same venue that they are.

I want to thank the Longhorn Saloon for having us perform there at their great venue and I want to thank all of the devoted fans that drove such a long way to see us again. Honestly, it wasn't a huge crowd but it was a good crowd. It created a family like atmosphere and I really like that anyway. Very up close and personal. I have more shows to prepare for this week and I will continue to promote "One More Day" at radio! I still need those requests if you get the chance.
