Hey Friends…
I’m writing this from the silence of my couch.. I SHOULD be in the studio today but my voice just couldn’t handle it today so its 24 hours of silence for me.. It started Monday night at my extravaganza, (I’m usually a bit hoarse the next morning but not usually as bad as it was)- Tuesday morning I headed to the studio, excited & pumped to put the new vocal track on our new single “Easy as Breathin’ ” which hasn’t “Officially” gone for adds yet but a few stations are already playing it around the country and it’s getting a GREAT buzz.. So we decided to pump up the production a bit to really make the song shine…
Needless to say I had a pretty tough time in the studio Tuesday and we decided it would be better to rest on it for the evening and hit it up bright and early today, Problem being it’s still VERY tight this am, so at the advice of my Throat Dr. I am shutting the Eff up today and giving my vocals which have been beaten up on the road pretty hard the last 2 months a FULL 24 hours to relax and rest.. Hopefully tomorrow it’s back to vocals to get this new radio edit out asap… So there’s That….
STUFF I’m Doing SILENTLY Today..
I’ve got a lot happening right now, writing for a new record, gearing up & Booking new shows around the country with emphasis on getting back through Texas, Florida & the Carolinas, and adding people to my team who are bringing serious assets to what we’re doing, in Short.. People who believe… I’m still working closely with my AMAZING Guitar sponsor EPIPHONE Guitars, Fireball Whisky & Now my new Clothing friends and sponsors OUTLAW-Wear… It’s a Kick ass clothing company that is going to bring so much cool stuff to what we’re doing now all that along with some big new believers!! So keep an eye here and on all my pages for updates soon on all this business…
Shit You Need to Watch and/or Listen To….
These are just a few of the things I’m obsessed with Lately… check it out..
Missy Higgins / “Where I Stood” – I’ve never heard this written like this before. I LOVE this fucking song and so will you.. It’s powerful and heartbreaking at the same time.. The thought that “You gave me the ability to trust Myself & that trust is telling me to leave you” Is brutal and amazing… I wish I wrote it… But don’t be surprised if you hear me Covering it…
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Angie Johnson & “Sidewinder” / “Rollin in the Deep” – This amazing voice is part of the 571st Air Force Band and from the description they set up to entertain a small group of fellow soldiers.. Amazing Cover, Amazing Vid Check it out!!!
Matt Nathanson / “Laid” - This is Matts remake of the James Song.. It was the featured song on the original “American Pie” movie and is brought back for the American “Reunion” movie which anyone in my age group I think will super enjoy… It’s easy to look past the movies somewhat predictability to enjoy seeing the friends that were our age then and now and dealing with all that 30-something feeling about how we miss being young.. Plus how can you not love a song with a lyric like ” The neighbors complain about the noises above/and she only comes when shes on to top… Oh you think youre so pretty…”
So There is My update…
As for the shows this week they’re all still On!!!
Thurs: Winners – 9p
Fri- Bridgestone Arena – 6:30p
