It was great to hear and meet Kent Blazy tonight at Bluebird! He took questions from the audience and explained how he got his start in the music business. Kent has written several big hits including “If Tomorrow Never Comes” for Garth Brooks, “Gettin’ You Home” for Chris Young, and the most recent “My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me” for American Idol contestant, Danny Gokey. He also co-wrote “It All Comes Back To Me” which is on my current album. The best part, is he is a fellow Kentuckian as well, hailing from Lexington! I was able to talk to Kent and give him a copy of my CD. I hope he likes what he hears and that we can maintain a music relationship through the years…

I’m excited to announce that I will have a full band travelling and performing with me this year! We are currently booking shows for this summer and early Fall! So far we are set to perform Fri. Aug. 13th at the Williamson County Fair in Franklin, TN, Sat. Aug. 21st at the Wilson County Fair in Lebanon, TN, and Sat. Oct. 2nd at the 48th Apple Festival in Paintsville, KY, opening for co-headliners J.D. Shelburne and ‘Nashville Star’s’ Justin David. I hope you will be able to follow us on the road as we look forward to book more dates! Thanks so much for your support!
