I wanted to let everyone know that I am now playing with the Lonesome River Band. I am real exited. I have been playing with them now for about a month, and I'm having a great time. We just got back from California last week and had a great time and met some great people out there. Check out our schedule.

I had a great time this weekend. We played our first two shows for the new year. We had a great time playing in Maryville, Tennessee at the Palace Theater (see photos). I had a lot of my friends come out and it was really great seeing them. It was a packed house and we had a lot of fun. The next show we played ! was on Sunday in Marydel, Deleware. I got to meet a lot of great people and hope to see them again soon. I'm looking forward to the new year and hoping to see a lot of you at some shows this year.
