Well, hello there music fans. hehe. Right now I’m backstage here at the Canton Civic Center, home of the Free State Bluegrass Festival.
This is our second day here, an I’ve never been so thankful for air condtioning in my life. I’ve been told that this festival used to be outside. I love music as much as the next person, but I don’t think I would have been too happy about performing… OR listening when the bank sign says it’s 103.

After our show this evening, we gotta sleep ASAP so we can get up at 3:45 and get ready to drive back to Dallas, fly back back to Nashville, drive to Owensboro, perform, and then hopefully I’ll be able to find some place under a tree to pass out.

Despite the schedule I am looking forward to going to the ROMP (River of Music Party) in Owensboro tomorrow. I’ve heard it’s a fun show and I’ve never been to it before so we shall see! Hopefully I’ll be rested up enough to pick my little heart out and enjoy the day.
It’s not too far from Nashville or Louisville, so yall come on out if you don’t have plans and you’re in the area.

Oh and some good news, the song “Signs” and the album “Signs” were the #1 most played on XM/Sirius this past week!

I’m thinking the first part of next week would be a good time to go to Vegas or the beach, especially before the busiest July schedule I’ve ever had. What do yall think?
Everybody stay cool.
