Happy NEW YEAR
everyone!!!! We hope you all had a safe and outstanding holiday
season, we sure did!!!
2007's starting out where
2006 left off and we couldn't be happier!!! We played the "Country
Nights" at Memphis Smoke sponsored by DetroitCountryMusic.com and
despite the cold weather so many people came out to support us, we were
so grateful!!! We played all the cuts from our upcoming CD
(see below) as well as some of our new material. We were so
pleased at how the material was received that now we have quite a
decision to make in picking the last 3 songs for our CD, but that's a
good thing let me tell you!!
Speaking of our CD let me
give you an update. We started recording in November and we're
still going strong anticipating it will be completed by March. The
process has been a challenging, yet fun one for the band. It's
actually opened us all up to talents we didn't know each other had, as
well as sharing new traditions (Pepsi with peanuts is a must... Thanks
Al!) Once it's completed and packaged we're looking at doing a
release party, so please stay tuned for more details to follow!!!
Thank you again for all
of your continued support! Be sure to check back for the latest
information.

The month
started with us opening for Clint Black, Dwight Yokam, Bombshell and
Gary Nichols along with The Forbes Brothers and Redhill on October 7th
at DTE (Pine Knob), a place we've always wanted to play! Detroit's WYCD
sponsored the concert for their 13th Birthday Bash!! The weather
cooperated and the crowd was awesome, we had a blast!
This past
week we met with Tom Gelardi who has helped the catapult the careers of
people such as Wayne Newton, Bob Segar, Grand Funk Railroad and Heart.
He is very interested in working with us and helping us live our dream!
He is a wealth of knowledge with 48 years of experience in the music
business and our brainstorming session produced some great ideas and
plan, which you can be sure we'll be jumping on!!!
Within
the next couple of weeks we'll be heading in to the studio to begin
recording our debut CD. With the help of Nashville writers, as
well as the band we've got some awesome tunes to cut. We're
looking to release in January and/or February, so please stay tuned!
We're
keeping our fingers crossed because we're being considered for a huge
Christmas concert. If and when it happens we'll be sure to post it
on our site.
We would
like to thank our families for all of their support!!!! Most
people don't know just how much time musicians spend writing, arranging,
rehearsing and putting shows together and our families have stood behind
us all the way.... Thank you and we love you all!!!!!!
Thanks
also to our fans and supporters! We wouldn't be here if it wasn't
for you!!
Thank
You!!!

Wow, what
a month this has been so far!!! This past Tuesday, August 15th we
were guests on the Fox 2 morning show. We did a interview and then
performed one of our tunes, "un-plugged" and had a blast.
Last
night, August 17th we opened for Billy Ray Cyrus at Meadow Brooke
Theater in Rochester Michigan. It was our first "live" gig and it
couldn't have went better. We had a great crowd and Billy Ray and
his band were great to us and made us feel right at home.
If you
haven't had the opportunity to see a Billy Ray Cyrus show you should,
he's got an outstanding band and a great show. He gives you a
great taste for his new CD, yet makes sure his long time fans hear the
tunes they love. Afterwards he spent over an hour signing
autographs and talking to fans.
We would
be remiss if we didn't thank Palace Sports/Entertainment for all they've
done for us. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have had the
opportunity to work with Billy Ray nor the Fox 2 morning show.
They have been so supportive and we thank them from the bottom of our
hearts!!!!
To round
out the month we're playing at the Kenny Chesney "Pre-concert Beach
Bash" in downtown Detroit at Campus Martius Park on Saturday, August
26th at 11:00 AM.
Pictures
and video from the both the Fox 2 morning show and Billy Ray Cyrus show
will be on this site soon, stay tunned!!
August
has been a good month for us and we thank each and every one of you who
has supported us!!!!
A Look Back
Detroit
Downtown Hoedown. Saturday's featured
artists are
Tanya Tucker Lila McCann Kentucky Headhunters Mark
McGuinn Kortney Kayle

beautiful, this is a great place to have a show!
WSM -
80 Years On The Air.......
As I told you in our last update WSM celebrated 80
years on the air in January. When you
think about it that's truly amazing that one radio show could last that
many years and still prosper as it does today. So, the next time your
out on a Friday or Saturday night turn on AM 650 and give it a listen,
now that's where the roots of country music still play!
Now
You're Caught Up.......
Guess that catches you up on everything to date,
thanks for stopping by, enjoy your summer and stop back soon for an
update!
