FameCast Update! - September 21, 2007
Hey Friends,
You guys are such awesome fans with mad voting skills that you voted my FameCast video into the top 50 videos out of 250+!!! Apparently, there is another round of voting and if you follow the rabbit trail far enough ends, in a $10,000 prize, etc. So, please find a moment to revisit the FameCast.com website and vote for me. Here's the link:
Sooooo...my friend Jessica Sonner (who is playing at Double Door this Tuesday after my band wrecks the stage with the rocking and the rolling), and I were having dinner sometime this month. I asked Jess what her weekend plans were. And she replied, "Hey! I am going to an audition on Sunday at Schuba's for FameCast.com, and YOU should go with me".
I am a huge advocate for random auditioning in order to keep your auditioning skills sharpened. Long story short, I went with Jess and we both auditioned (and got free t-shirts). Come to find out, it's a contest of sorts that requires voting and the like. So, If you wanna see me scared as hell, playing my lil heart out, follow this link:
And then vote for me. Pretty please...with sugah on top...
Midnight Train to Georgia... - August 16, 2007
My dearest friends,
My band and I are playing a show at Double Door (www.doubledoor.com) on Tuesday, Aug 28th @ 9p. Jessica Sonner (www.jessicasonner.com) and Laura Fleming (www.myspace.com/musiclaurafleming) will also be there in all their singer/songwriter awesomeness. Cover is $5. I know, I know...it's a Tuesday night and most of you have to work the next day. But I have two bits of information with which to persuade you:
1. Music starts at 9, so conceivably, you could be in bed by midnight...not SO bad...you ARE still young & spry, right?
2. Double Door will be the last full band show that I play for some time as I am relocating to Atlanta at the end of September...or October (most of you know this). See, there's a record label in Atlanta that I am negotiating with in order to fund my next album and tour a bit more (details to follow soon). PLUS, as you know, I am originally from the South and long to be closer to my family. Plus, PLUS, it's just too dang cold in Chicago. Can I get a heck yeah?!? Sheesh.
Long story short, I would love, love, LOVE the opportunity to entertain you guys once more and extend to you a proper departure embrace. Chicago has been awesome to me and my music. You have been the bestest fans (I'm not just saying that!). So, I'll see you, and 10 of your closest friends at Double Door!
Smooches!

Band camp! BAND CAMP! - May 15, 2007
I'm going to band camp in July! Well...actually...I'm working at band camp.

Humbly, I am working as a producer and I am thrilled. I will most certainly blog about this awesome experience. "And this one time, at band camp..."
