HEY ALL;
I first would like to thank Faster Gun for kickin off the first "CANADIAN/NASHVILLE EXPRESS" created by Billy Block and Myself. It went GREAT!!! The guys played great and we all had the time of our lives......"Good Times Regina...Good Times".
The program was recieved by the Nashville locals with open arms. Billy and I have come up with some great idea's to expand and make this program even more of a "MUST DO". Tommy John Ehman and I will be going down in January with a few great surprises that i will release at a later date to the official "CANADIAN/NASHVILLE EXPRESS" website being created soon!
So Faster Gun and I will be leaving this Friday Aug 17th to kick off the "CANADIAN/NASHVILLE EXPRESS" program created by B-Rad Studio & Billy Block of Western Beat Ent. Some of the Itinerary created for the trip will be:
- a full show for the boys at Cadillac Ranch on Saturday Aug 18th
- Sunday Aug 19th afternoon Faster Gun and I will be conducting a Radio interview on Billy's "Western Beat Radio and Locals Only" on 103 WKDF NASHVILLE to discuss the bands music feature and i will be talking about the "CANADIAN/NASHVILLE EXPRESS" program.
- Sunday Aug 19th evening will also be another show at the "EXIT / IN" nightclub which will be billed as "CANADIAN COUNTRY MUSIC NIGHT"
I've been added as a featured artist to the Roger Nichols Plugin Company. For those unfamiliar with Roger Nichols he has recorded and mixed the likes of Steely Dan, Frank Zappa....etc. His credit list reads as a who's who of the biggest names in the music industry and has the Grammy Awards to show for it. So when the RND company contacted me to request an interview i was truly honored.
"All of us at Song of the Year would like to congratulate you on your song success in the February 2007 preliminary round. Song of the Year receives many entries from all over the world and the entries were very competitive. Your song displayed exceptionable songwriting skill. Based on the totals from the judges, you received one of the overall highest ratings in your respective category. For that, we commend you!"
I had the privalage of recording Frank Black in Regina when he came thru. It turns out that those recordings are gonna be as part of his new double cd release. Disc 1 will feature Studio Cuts and Disc 2 will feature the Live Cuts which I was part of.
A big thanks to Billy Block for setting me up for that gig......
