Hey Y’all!
Just back from merry ole London where we’ve successfully launched the West End version of “Million Dollar Quartet” the musical of which I act as music arranger/supervisor. I have to say those boys & girls over there are fantastic and a welcome addition to the MDQ family. I suggest that if you’re in Chicago, New York or London that you do yourself a favor and go see our little rockabilly skit. I promise you’ll have fun and you’ll have gotten your money’s worth.
I’ll be doing some shows in April and May with my Grassy Knoll Boys so be sure to check out the showdates on this here site or get on my Facebook or MySpace music page. I’ll be in Kansas, Colorado and Texas. There will be more additions to this jaunt so keep checking in!
I will have a new record coming out this year called “Back At The Quonset Hut”. I recorded it last November at the legendary studio on Music Row. I figured it was about time to do an all country/rockabilly classics album and what better place to record something like that than in the studio in which most of the songs were originally recorded. To add more hillbilly cred to the situation, I recruited some of the guys who played on these songs in the first place. Yes, four members of the Nashville “A” Team, Buddy Spicher, Bob Moore, Pig Robbins and Harold Bradley all played on my record. I also asked a lot of notable friends to to do some duets with me just to make it extra good. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it! I will keep all who are interested informed as things progress.
That’s all for now kids. We’ll see ya’.
