Hi Y’All, This Saturday I’m performing at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville with Roxie Randle, Jenn Franklin and Anthony Orio at 6:30.
Sunday afternoon I’ll be performing for the Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue Fall Barbecue from 4 ’til 8 near Knoxville, TN.
It’s going to be an awesome weekend!! Click on my calendar for details on these shows.

I’ve spent a little time in Sarasota acting in a small indie musical called “Beautiful Noise”. It’s been so much fun considering I’ve never acted IN MY LIFE! Well…not “officially”…I’m looking forward to returning this month to film the rest of my scenes. It’s been a wonderful learning process up to this point and enjoyable getting to know each person involved since day one. These are people who are are passionate about what they’re doing. So I’ll keep you posted…just enjoying being out of my comfort zone and realizing I really like this “acting thing”. If it likes me, we’ll see…!

I’m really happy to announce that you can now download my song “Sorry” at www.CDBaby.com and it will be available on itunes in a few weeks. Thanks Everyone!

Over the last few weeks, my original song “Sorry” has gone from a featured song during local artists blocks on radio to being in regular rotation on several radio stations across Tennessee. Thanks everyone who has supported me by requesting my songs. It’s awesome to perform live and see people singing along and a whole new thing to hear my songs randomly played between Katy Perry and The Script! Please request your local radio stations play “Sorry” (or any of my songs)!!

The filming schedule for “Beautiful Noise” (the musical drama I’m making my acting debut in) has been narrowed down and we’ll be shooting in Sarasota mid August through mid September. This means some of my shows will  be re-scheduled.  The venues have been more than understanding though and we are also working on lining up some shows to play while in Florida. Looking forward to meeting some great new people and playing some new venues!

Several of my original songs are featured in the film, some performed by me and some by others. Doug Frasure and I are just finishing up a song written specifically for “Beautiful Noise” called “One More Song in Me”.

August 26 is the evening of “Hot August Nights”, an 8:00 concert featuring the musical cast of “Beautiful Noise” at the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium. Please go to www.beautifulnoisethemovie.com to get tickets or learn more about the event and the amazing talent featured. I’m blown away by the artists and performers in this film including Chester See, Chris McCarty, Danielle White,
Jay White (the top Neil Diamond impersonator in the country!) and Tim Jerome…on and on… You can also read Steve Tatone’s director’s blog there. It’s awesome to be part of such a wonderful project.

I’ll take a break from filming in Sarasota to be at the Knoxville, TN premiere on September 3rd of “Beyond The Myth: A Film About Pit Bulls And Breed Discrimination”. I WOULD NOT MISS IT!!! If you’re any place close by, please make plans to attend and come to the after party. Remember to download my song “Strong For You” at www.beyondthemythmovie.com to help support the film. You can also get the details about the premiere and after party at that web-site!!!

Thanks so much for visiting me…there is more to update…will save it for next time…
