Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Atlanta-based Burning Time, for whom I play keys and guitar, is scheduled to record at Sun Studio in April. Located in the heart of Memphis, this studio is famous for launching the careers of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and many more legends.

New Release: Low Scene Woman

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

My friends, I am not one of those artists who is afraid to praise “the competition.” I know good music when I hear it, and I give credit when it’s due. High Tone Shelter is one of the best (if not the best) Funky Bluesy Rock bands. Every member of the band is extremely talented – OK, they’re my friends - but this isn’t bias talking. Click here to see for yourself. I was invited to play Hammond organ on “Low Scene Woman,” the 9th track on Redemption Day (iTunes). I urge you to download, listen five times over, burn copies for friends, and join their mailing list. It’s that good.

Sweet Auburn High

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

When we arrived yesterday at Sweet Auburn Springfest, a nice big stage and first-rate sound crew greeted us. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and everyone was out enjoying their Mothers Day. I knew that a killer show was in my near future I wasn’t wrong, but like everything else in Life it didn’t turn out as I’d expected.

After our fourth song my high “E” string broke (rarely happens; first break in 6 months). I kept cool, quickly retuned my remaining five strings and continued on to “PC Religion” without a hitch. We did five more songs before ending our set and exiting the stage, at which point Fred (drums) first realized my handicap. Andy (bass) had been standing beside me, stage left, and he hadn’t noticed either. True, it was a 32′ x 24′ stage but still…

It’s a small example of how I live every day: be happy, stay focused! Don’t let things you can’t control bother you! Be prepared for the worst. Let experience guide you through obstacles in a calm, professional manner. I guarantee everyone in that audience dug my solos and chord voicings and didn’t notice the missing “E” string – because I didn’t let them. In fact I’m really wishing we had a video of that show because some of my playing was really inspired and stellar, and our stage presence was spot-on.

Fred and Andy rocked. I met some great people-now-fans, like Tony and Nancy. On our way home I couldn’t help but think of how greatful I was for being able to enjoy that experience, instead of getting hung up on the negative aspect (broken string). Too often I see folks wading through their days in negative energy. Be positive, stay focused on the good!

Cool concerts

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

As y’all know, I’m a professional musician. So when I get to play big shows, or reach certain levels of professionalism, it is particularly exciting to me! Well this week I’m playing three shows with Kevin Kinney and Drivin’ N’ Cryin’. It’s all a part of the band Connor Christian & Southern Gothic, of which I’ve been a member since September ‘08.
We did our first show with Kevin in January, where he sat-in with us on stage. He broke a string and ended up playing one of my guitars on three songs. It was cool to actually play with him on stage. This Friday @ Cowboys in Kennesaw, GA, we’ll be opening up for the entire band Drivin’N’Cryin’ – they’ll play after us at one of the most famous venues in GA. Pretty cool eh?
