It's been a while since I've updated the site, but I did it in a big way this time. I decided to streamline it and make it a little more clean in appearance. Hope you dig it. I'm going to start adding photos to every news update so it will pop a bit more.

In actual news, Ben Hall released his new album, Scars and Stars, which featured me on bass and resonator. It sounds really old school and I'm really stoked to be a part of it. Check out his Bandcamp page for a listen. You'll be glad you did.

As for shows, we've got some on the schedule, but I'm hoping to get some road shows for late July/early August on the register. It's been a long time since I've been out of the state, so I'm looking forward to it. Trying to get as far as I can.

The album is still available on Bandcamp. That's all I have for today. Keep checking back!

Well, we had a great run through San Antonio and Austin this past weekend. Met some great people, sold some CDs, had some excellent food and kicked ass along the way. It doesn't get much better than that. Thanks to all who came out to the shows.

My next gig is a solo show on the 20th at Waldo's Coffee House. I'll be doing an early set from 7 pm til 9 pm. The next week, we'll be throwing down an FPS show at Dunn Bros in Friendswood for my annual birthday bash. Get your friends and be there!

That's it for now. In the down time, I'll begin fixing up the page a bit, adding more photos, info, etc. Might even reformat it, who know? Be safe out there!

We're heading out to the home of Doug Sahm tomorrow, San Antonio, TX! I love San Antonio and can't wait to head that way. We're at the Cove, which has excellent food and friendly folks on the waitstaff. It'll be a blast.

Saturday, we'll be heading to Austin for a show at Cherrywood Coffee. Cherrywood is another favorite for us. Outdoors, kid friendly and the food is excellent. We might even swing by Gruene Hall on the way down to take in some of their free tunes and do some sidewalk performing. You have to love the open areas west of Houston.

April will be pretty slow for me. I'm taking some time get out and socialize with folks. Hell, I might even write a couple songs if I'm lucky. The 28th is my birthday bash at Dunn Bros in Friendswood. You all should come out so that is a great party! That's all I have for today. Keep checking back!
