June tour/ New record

I will be heading out on a little tour in a few weeks.  Mostly I just need to get in the car and drive.  It clears my head!  Also, I will get to see friends and play a few shows, too.  I still have a few dates open, so check the schedule and get in touch if you live in the area and would like to book a special party or house concert.   I am hoping to make a stop in Nashville on June 12.  Will know more on that soon. I am blessed to be busy right now!  As my old boss used to say. “It’s hell when you’re busy, but it’s heller when you ain’t!”  Hope to see ya’ll out there!

The new recording, “Cyclone of Love” (working title) is still in progress.  I was fortunate to get everyone together and record 6 songs, Chris Pylant on drums, Casandra Faulconer on bass, Chris Adkins on guitar/mandolin, and Trevor Brooks on keys, and Alex McMurray plays acoustic.. it’s still in the works, but I’m hoping to get everybody back to do a session soon, maybe by the fall we will have something new for the kids.

Also, in the fall, I’m happy to be working closely with Pledge Music and Sweet Home New Orleans.  We (me and Team Drury) were chosen to take part in a exciting opportunity which begins in October.  The six-week course will lead us through Pledge Music’s “Direct to Fan” platform.  If you have signed up for the newsletter, you will be taking this journey with us, as we record, publicize, and whatever else needs to be done in order to get the music out there, and get us to the next level!  Benji of Pledge has been an inspiration to us all.  And a big THANK YOU to Sarah Gromko, of Sweet Home New Orleans, who spearheaded the collaboration and knows the value of an empowered musician.  I’m a bit nervous, as I think much will be revealed to you and me!

French Quarter Festival 2013!

We had a very successful performance at the French Quarter Festival this year.  The band included Chris Pylant on drums, Casandra Faulconer on bass and Joe Shirley on the keys.. it was a great time with the Honeypots coming up and backing us for a few tunes as well!   Here is a video of a tune we just recorded with John Porter producing, called “Let’s make it easy” (Click on picture)
