Oh my word there is so much to tell you. I have returned from a 14 day tour in Texas and I am still going strong ! The folks in Texas were incredible and love there music. From my Agent Keli Pearce to the Sound guys at Eagle Pro Audio. I could not have asked for more. Ok here is how it all went down. My First Gig (Oct. 12, 2014) was at Filthy McNasty's in the Stock Yards, Fort Worth Texas. Then the next morning I flew to Nashville for some time with my Mentor and good friend Bernard Porter of PCG Institute in Nashville. In the Evening I sent my time celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving at the Bridgestone Arena with W.Brett Wilson and Brett Kissel. Other that were there where Roger Millions, Kelly Hrudy, Patrica Conroy, Michelle Wright, Ryan Laird, Bob Dole (Garth Brooks manager), and many more. When I returned to Dallas/Fort Worth i performed at the White Elephant in the Stock Yards, Fort Worth and let me tell you the audience was incredible ! After the performance I was off to Lubbock Texas to perform at the Lone Star Oyster Bar on 58th. I receive incredible treatment from the staff and the audience. I had a great time with two fans sitting at the edge of the stage who were entertaining in their own right. The next night (Oct. 16) I performed at The Texas Cafe (Da Spoon) which was just as fun as the night before. Then I was off to San Angelo but on my way I stop off to visit some of the little towns along the way. It was so much fun. San Angelo was great where I opened for an up and coming artist at the Little River Club. The next night (Oct 19) I performed at Wise Guys where I was treated like a king thanks to Henry and Fabian. I also got to meet some wonderful people who were celebration there wedding. After that I decided to take some time off to go visit my family in Louisiana which was awesome. My last days in Texas were spent in a cute little town called Grapevine.

Back in Edmonton:
As Soon as I arrived back in Edmonton I was back to performing. My First Gigs was at Big Al's House of Blues with a great Audience. Don Marcotte (Videographer) can out and shoot a bit for a new video. From there it was the next event
After Big Al's House of Blues, I was performing at the Edmonton International Airport for the Canadian Finals Rodeo. Barbara McGee and her staff were awesome. I always enjoy performing at the Edmonton International Airport because people are so friendly and have some cool travel stories ! What is up next you ask ..... Next to to start booking the Summer Festivals and the Casinos in the Area. It is going to be a lot of hard work but as Rick Barker says "A lot of people are afraid of that four letter word WORK and that is how to get ahead in the Music Business"
