Local Band Shoutout

Posted on: Wednesday, October 31st, 2007 in: Music

Pay attention Louisville, Kentucky!
The boys from Edgehill Ave. emailed me to let me know they’re opening for Tommy Womack in Louisville on November 10, 2007.
Due to their kind words and shameless self-promotion they’ve been selected as November’s Local Band Shoutout! They’re a rocky Americana act that screams “Heartland!” They’ve appeared on [...]

Altered by Elvis

OK…so I got this email from this guy offering me a cut of the money to promote a new DVD called Altered by Elvis. As tempting as it was to take this guy’s money, integrity matters more.

Life slips away from us all they say, but I rather find myself in the thick of it. I’ve not picked up my guitar as much recently as I should, but have instead spent the time watching and listening. Stories come if you take the time to hear them. It’s good to [...]
