HELLO AGAIN:

I'm BACK!

Fell behind for a few years, I was so busy face booking, instagramming, and tweeting, forgot about this blog thing.

Anyway, this year has been incredible.  7.5 years after I started my own band, I spend 3 months touring in Australia last November, December and January, just released my 6th album, an EP called "SOUTHERN AMENDMENT" at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, after driving from San Francisco to Key West, FL touring through Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia.  Last year, I got to spend September traveling and touring around Europe, performing in Paris and Grenoble, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and last but not least Dublin and west coast Ireland!

First show in Paris @ Le Brigadier, brand new restaurant!










My favorite picture of the trip, in Grenoble, France!



Amazing pizza!

Le Seine



Le Tour Eifel


My friend Enrique from Brussels came to Paris!

Annecy, the most magical place on earth!

This is a place I dreamt about years ago, the exact site, with postcards, cobblestone, the archway, and in my dream I was dancing with Papa Joe, and the light was shining in and we were smiling....I knew when I got here, I felt that he was smiling and dancing in heaven watching down on me.


My show in Grenoble, France~




I made it to Reno, Nevada...this will be my first time performing at THE NUGGET CASINO here in Sparks, NV, and the shows kick off this Thursday, Friday and Saturday night 8pm-Midnight.

My great friend Renee Brock picked me up from the airport last night, who actually designed my Walk of Shame album cover art, the tee shirts and the famous "Walk of Shame" panties, and it was so great to catch up with her after all these years.  She also was a doll and loaned us her vehicle for the week, so that was HUGE~ Thank you girl!
Another friend, Teddy J, has a friend who is letting us borrow his sound system, which was another prayer answered, so everything fell into place.  Unfortunately our show at the Lake Tahoe Hard Rock Cafe got cancelled today last minute, but with my hoarse voice from this weekend's shows in KEY WEST at the 20th anniversary BMI's songwriter's festival, maybe an extra day off isn't the worst thing :)

42 more days until we perform at SUMMERFEST...http://summerfest.com
