As some of you might know, there’s a lot going on in Nashville this week. It’s that time of year again where 250,000 country music fans converge on the city for \u201cCMA Music Fest Week\u201d (formally known as Fanfare). Tourists, country music fans, and curiosity seekers from all over the globe will fill the streets, shops, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and concert halls, and while this can make getting around a little sticky for the locals, it is truly an exciting week for Music City, not to mention good for the local economy. This year, I am fortunate to play my own part in these festivities.<\/p>\n

Thursday, June 9<\/strong> from 11 AM \u2013 2 PM<\/strong> I will be doing a book signing at the Charlie Daniels Museum<\/a> on Second Avenue in downtown\"\"<\/a> Nashville (between the Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 and the Wildhorse Saloon.) This unique museum\/gift shop began selling my book last week at which time I was fortunate to meet the museum’s owner, Bud Messer, who requested I come back and do and in-store signing during Fanfare. Bud is a great guy and I am honored to receive this invitation from such a prestigious institution, not to mention the fact that they are now selling my book. (The Ernest Tubb Record Shop<\/a> on Broadway is also now selling my book.)<\/p>\n

This Saturday, June 11<\/strong> my band will be performing at The Fillin\u2019 Station<\/a> in Kingston Springs. The fun starts at 7 PM, and if the weather is good (which it looks like it will be), the outdoor patio will be open. This week the band will consist of me on vocals and guitar, Nick \u201cShaggy Bag\u201d Forchione on drums, Tom Good on bass, and special guest Patrick Weikenand (formerly of the band \u201cWar\u201d) on harp and beer slinging. This club is a one-of-a-kind experience, so if you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to check it out. (no cover.)<\/p>\n

Monday, June 13<\/strong> I will be giving my first talk on the book when I host \u201cThe Nashville Musician’s Survival Guide Workshop<\/strong>\u201d at Corky\u2019s Ribs & BBQ<\/a>, 100 Franklin Road, Brentwood, TN 37027. This luncheon will be sponsored by \u201cIndie Connect<\/a>\u201d and held between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. Cost $10.00. This presentation will be somewhat informal and there will be a lot of questions and answers, networking and group interaction.<\/p>\n

Other than that, it’s been hot as hell in middle Tennessee for the past month, and we’ve had over 10 straight days of 90\u00b0 plus heat with no end in sight. Stay on the lookout for heat and poor air-quality advisories.<\/p>\n

So that’s it for now, if you’re around, please stop in to one of my events or gigs and say hi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
