Hey there cutie pies! :) It's late as usual, I'm tired but refusing to put the effort into getting ready for bed... That’s just boring! ): How CRAZY, it's already the holiday season, literally only a week away before Christmas is here... I repeat ONE WEEK AWAY. I love everything about this time of year, the music, the lights sparkling on the snow, all the old Christmas movies, hot chocolate, & most important being around the people who matter most. Everything about the month of December seems absolutely 100% perfect, wish it didn't end so fast.
Upcoming DECEMBER SHOWS for me & my guys ((Keys: Marc Doiron & Percussion: Steve Tocco)) next week. We're going to be at the HoHoHo Down at Dooley's Irish Tavern - Sterling Heights, MI on Dec 21st at 9pm (21 and over)!! ALSO PLEASE COME OUT for our Special Christmas show @ Rosie O'Grady's in Chesterfield, MI on Wednesday Dec 22nd at 8:30pm, this one is an ALL AGES SHOW until 10pm so bring the whole family & have a great time.
LA!!!!!
I realize I haven’t written since I've been back from LA, which was insane! I learned a lot, met with some great people, and kicked some more doors open. During the day I was able to explore LA & the surrounding areas with my family ((they're the best)) then settle in for some late LATE nights in the studio, literally living off Tea, 5 hour Energy & Red bull. I recorded 5 songs out there and that’s about all I can tell you right now but I'm MORE THAN READY to make my trip back :)) Check out some pics below.
