Howdy from Nashvegas!
I am sitting in the studio with Matt Keef and Matt Mangano and we
have just finished up guitar tracks for the record. I grow more
excited as I watch the record develope and unfold into a beautiful
butterfly! I really love working with Matt Mangano he really is a
genious! We played the Dixie Tavern last Saturday night and it was
packed! Old friends and new faces all singing along! Makes my heart
happy and tear up a little (sniiffle sniffle).  I am also looking
forward to the Sailing Southern Ground cruise in September! It is
going to be a blast and I can’t wait to get away to where the boat
leaves from! There are some great things in store so keep your ear to
the ground!
I have some shows coming up all around Georgia so check back in for
new show dates! Thanks to my street team for all their hard work! I
love my angels!

Big hugs all around!

Chastain…
Hey everyone!

I hope the summer heat has not melted you all away! This past weekend was a scorcher! I had the honor of opening for Drivin and Cryin and 38 special at Chastain Amphitheater in Atlanta, GA. Everyone was so awesome and it was a wonderful evening! I also was able to make it back to Chastain the following Sunday to catch Jackson Browne, who is one of my favorite songwriters, and to my surprise David Lindley was there too! I was able to go back stage and chit chat a little and gush! Sheesh!

We have a show this Saturday at Dixie Tavern in Marietta, GA. it will be great to be back at our old stomping grounds! It is also Ginger, one of our street team leaders, “Ain’t Dead Yet” birthday party! Make sure to come early and check out Fat Rhino @ 9:00 PM! They are some friends of mine from Ft. Payne AL and you will love them!

Monday I head to Nashville to finish up the long awaited record! I will be working with Matt Mangano and have some surprises for you guys! On a side note, I want to thank everyone who showed so much love and support during my grandfathers battle and passing from cancer. It meant a lot to me. Thank you from my family and myself. He would want us to keep on making music so let’s have a throw down this Saturday August 21st!

More updates to come!

It has been a bit since I last touched base and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out and showed their support during the “Gettin Dirty” tour. It was a blast!

I wanted to also say thank you to all the folks who came out and brought the house DOWN in Atlanta at the 99x Unplugged in the Park show! It always amazes me to see you all singing along and dancing! Thank you also for all of your votes at 94.9 the bull to help keep My Name is Money in rotation on back yard country. I can’t express enough gratitude for your continued support through the years.
