First things first…. I am SOOOOOO happy with the band we are currently building. Lots more shows to come with this group of awesome musicians. I LOVE playing with a band, and these guys are sure to impress…stay posted for shows!

Secondly, “Leaning On The Grace of God” will soon be headed to radio and I am speechless about it!!! Such a great song written by me and my bestie Debbie Pascarella…. Make sure you’re on the mailing list to be notified when it hits airwaves so that you can request it!

On the songwriting front, independent country music artist Nick Nicholson has recorded our song “Fall In Love Again” and is including it on his next album release!!! Keep an eye on this guy….he’s great!

Lastly, Now Hear This is now handling my “on the road” bookings!!! I couldn’t be happier….so get ready, I am sure to be headed your way soon!!! Check out the article written by their President Bruce Wawrzyniak here (read article)

All in all a busy few months…restructure, writing, rehearsals, new band…..I’m exhausted but it will all be worth it in the end!!!

WOW what a year it’s been so far….and I am honored that so many of you (and my friends at radio) were so supportive of the 1st single “FACE”. I’m working hard now on finalizing things on the next single, trying to relax a bit and enjoy life in the process….hopefully that will work! LOL

I have a few shows scheduled for the rest of the year, but I have trimmed the end of year schedule down. The next show is on November 6, 2010 6pm where I’ll be performing at The Red Rooster for the Music For A Cure event.

We are also working on new merch, finishing the record, marketing stuff and endorsements….it’s a little crazy but I can’t say I’d rather be anywhere doing anything else!

Happy Weekend!!!
