Recent international airplay!!

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Hi everyone...

First news, I have added a second guitarist to the band--for the full stereo guitar sound! His name is Scott Hahn and he will take on most of the lead parts in our live show so that I can focus more on singing/entertaining!!!

We are currently in the studio working on my new CD Insular. Be sure to check out the "Tour Dates" link for information on upcoming shows.

I am also happy to write that two singles from my second CD Read On--Out There Eddy and Diane Drove--are charting internationally on independent and public radio stations since being re-released on a Canadian American Records singles sampler this past July! Both songs are appearing on playlists here in the USA as well as Australia, New Zealand, and England!

Out There Eddy landed at #26 on the Top 40 Independent Country Songs chart for August 2011, as per The Music Review, based on radio playlists from over 100 country stations! Pretty kewl, huh?

I am most excited about my new CD Insular which I am currently recording with my new bandmates. We are working feverishly to make these babies the best they can be! Until next time...
