Just checked out the weather for our Florida trip... RAIN!!! ::sigh:: I shouldn't be surprised at this. Whenever the family used to go to Clear Lake, we were lucky to get one day of sunshine while we were there. Why is it that God likes to rain on our parade?!? :-) Anyway, the trip will still be a blast, as I'm looking forward to hearing Katlin on his drums and seeing my friend Heather again will be great! Oh, yeah... and Kathy and Ron, I miss them too! LOL Not much else on the homefront.. just posting to post. Oh and if anyone wants a daily laugh -- check out my cousin Ryan's blog at www.rottenryan.com it is HILARIOUS!

The idea that people pay...
...to watch me play music is staggering to me. Cool, nonetheless, but still pretty wild!
Tequila Sunrise crushed the Cleveland HOB again, and we're booked back on April 23rd. We're also playing another HOB-owned venue, The Madison Theater, on June 17th. This one is another 1200 seater. I could really get used to this!
One week from yesterday, Mom and I will be basking in the glow of the Gulf Coast sunshine... We're going to Florida to visit my sister Kathy and her family and I CAN'T WAIT!!! Hopefully I'll head back to Nashville with a tan!
Nothing much new... I've now completed all 3 seasons of Smallville and I'm up to speed on Season 4. Yes, I know, I have no life... lol.
That's it for now.. check back soon for more dates and Florida ramblings!
Adios

New Pictures from Cleveland!
Greetings and salutations once again music lovers! The band made it back from Cleveland unscathed (although 8 hours with six guys in a Durango borders on some form of capital punishment...). The show went well and the crowd was AMAZING! It's such an exhilirating feeling to have 1,000 + people in the palm of your hand! We had members of The Raspberries at the show, which was very cool. We added Derick Brunschweiger (hope I spelled that right) on percussion and Tim McDonald on keyboards/piano/organ for the show. It was very cool getting to play with a percussionist, and playing with Timmy Mac is always an extreme pleasure. Check out his site www.ivorytickler.com for some VERY cool music. We got some GREAT footage for the DVD including soundcheck, backstage and more! Stay tuned to this site for info on the release date.
On to my original reason for posting... there are NEW pictures from the Cleveland show on the Tequila Sunrise site, including a new one of me on my bio page. You can see the new pictures in our Gallery section. Please check them out and leave comments on the ones that you like. And PLEASE sign our Guestbook and let us know that you paid us a visit.
I'll be heading home from Nashville on Thursday. Although I'll miss it here, I'll be glad to get home. Hopefully TS will get a busy schedule this summer so I can think about relocating here in the fall or beginning of 2006. There's just too many opportunities that I could be taking advantage of if I were here. Also, Mom and I will be going to Florida to visit Kathy, Ron and the boys the last week in February. I'm REALLY looking forward to that, because it's been ages since I've seen them. Plus Florida is GREAT in February, and I might get to see my friend Heather McPherson while I'm there. I'm also stoked about attending another Burning House service at Eastgate with the Cravattas. It's weird... I never thought I'd really get excited about the Lord, but I guess age really does do crazy things. (Yikes! Am I finally growing up?!?! Say it ain't so!!!!!) :-) Nothing much else going on and I've gotta get some sleep before the session. So stop by the site and say hi (yes, I'm not above a shameless plug!).
TTFN!

Better late than never...
Hello again everybody!
Sorry for the extreme delay, but life's been good! (To quote Joe Walsh...) Anyway, Tequila Sunrise is playing the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio tonight and I'm super excited that my good friend Tim McDonald is going to be playing keyboards with us tonight. He's an AMAZING musician and his playing is going to definitely be a welcome addition.
The band made our TV debut yesterday morning as we performed LIVE on the Fox 8 morning show here in Cleveland. We left Nashville at about 9 pm on Thursday night and drove straight to the studio in Cleveland. We arrived around 5:45 am and had enough time to unload our gear, soundcheck and then.. GOOD MORNING CLEVELAND!
We performed 5 one-minute spots and 1 two minute spot. We performed "Life In The Fast Lane," "Love Will Keep Us Alive," "Funk #49," "Life's Been Good," "One Of These Nights," and the guitar ending for "Hotel California". The crew LOVED us and some of them might even be coming to the show. They really must've liked us because for breakfast they gave us WINGS!! They were doing a segment about the "Best Of" in Cleveland and they focused on buffalo wings. So we got to have some... YUMMY!! We also had tons of hits on our website from the station's website. Now on to the BIG news...
Tonight at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio, Tequila Sunrise will be RECORDING a LIVE ALBUM and DVD! 48-track audio recording and a 4 camera DVD (complete with "behind the scenes" footage) will be available to our adoring fans shortly!
Hope all is well with everyone and the Lord is blessing you daily. Gotta go run through it once more before showtime! Ciao!
