On The Big Black Bus |
This blog is written for anyone who wondered what it would be like to be a musician: to be in a rock band, to tour America and the world, to play in front of thousands of people, to just do it. Content is a direct reflection of our daily lives and activities: songwriting, rehearsing the band, recording, audiences, people that you meet in strange places, etc. We use plenty of images, we think they look cool, we’ll post video and new audio as and when they become available. Frequency will reflect activity in the project - potentially daily when we’re touring - weekly when we’re not.

Well hell has frozen over in sin city. What a day for Vegas. Snow….what. I have my snow boots on waiting for the big snow in sunny california, hey it could happen. So, for those of you who said I’ll do that when hell freezes over, better get to it. Merry Christmas to you all and have a safe New Year.

Change can mean many things. People sometimes hate change, but everything changes. I woke up this day to a change that I thought I would never see. Obama President of the United States. This I think could be a good thing for all of us. Times are hard for everyone, lets hope that Obama remembers his words as the days pass in office, and he does not get caught up in doing what someone else wants him to do. We are living history. I hope this is the right thing, America needs to get her groove back.

- My night with WillieSeptember 10 2008

Just to see Willie Nelson walk on stage made my legs weak. What a man. He sang his heart out for two hours. Anyone who has ever seen the legend live knows the feeling: he smiles and the crowd yells, moves his hand and they yell, hell I was yelling too.
I looked around at the crowd, 3500 people, all ages, all dancing, all having the time of their lives. Then Willie introduced his son Lucas who was on guitar, wow what a player and a good singer. Willie’s sister Bobbie played her heart out on piano. The best part of the night was when Willie’s tour bus and my tour bus had a honk fest as he was leaving. Willie is doing something right..see you at the next show Willie…..

We love the Internets - particularly people on the Internets who love music – check out this manifesto from one of our Twitter friends: @MicControl.
“Mic Control is dedicated to promoting unheard and unsigned musicians as well as musicians who are signed by smaller indie labels. Technology has created an opportunity for musicians to get exposed to a larger group than ever before.
Mic Control is here to help musicians achieve maximum exposure, and to help music lovers find new and exciting music that they would otherwise miss out on.”
When we saw MicControl’s tweet earlier this week asking for new music - we directed him to Ride, (which is now at #12 on the Blues Rock charts on Garageband) – he or she (we’re not sure which!) must have liked what they heard because they took the time to write the following post about Kelli on MicControl.
Thank you MicControl, we wish you and your blog great success and a long and profitable future.
