Hope you were able to catch a portion of my radio interview with Dave Spencer at 92.5 WBKR in Owensboro, KY. It was a blast to get to talk with him. Thank you to all those who tuned in to listen live! I really appreciate it. Counting down the days til we’re with Justin Moore for the KY Apple Festival in Paintsville, KY!! It’s this Sat. Oct. 3rd. He’s coming off having the #1 song in the land, “Smalltown USA.” What a huge hit for him! So glad to be a part of it and be able to play at the same event as him. Stay tuned……….

I’m so excited to get the chance to open for Justin Moore this Thursday July 30th at Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, KY. This is really a dream come! I can’t believe it. We came so close to being able to open for Little Big Town in March with all of the votes sent in by you - the fans - on Eventful.com. Now, just a few months later we DO get to open for a major act, thanks to the wonderful folks at 95.1 WGGC for contacting me about the event. They will be hosting “95 Live” there in the Park at the Reagan Amphitheater. Admission into the Park is $10, unless you go to WGGC’s website (www.wggc.com) and download a “Goober Member” card, then you get in for $5. There are 3 acts total, all acoustic I’m told. We perform at 6PM Central, and Justin Moore closes out the show at 7PM. I’m so excited, I cannot even wait. It’s so neat to be driving down the road and here “Smalltown USA” on the radio, and think, “I get to open for that guy.” This is not the only time we will be hooking up with Justin, either. We will also be with him at the Kentucky Apple Festival Sat. Oct. 3rd in Paintsville, KY.  We play earlier in the day at 4:30PM Eastern, while he is set to hit the stage at 8PM later that night. Again very exciting! Thanks so much for your continued support. I really appreciate it! Keep telling everyone you know about the new CD ‘Thank God For You And Me’ and requesting the music at your local radio station. Thanks a bunch! See ya on the road….

The CD is now here and available for you to purchase through the online store of my website. You can purchase an actual copy of the CD by sending a check or money order to the P.O Box listed on the store tab, or a digital download through DigStation. Just click on the DigStation logo on the store tab to either purchase a single song or full album digital download. Roughly one week from now, Sat. May 30th, we will be having a ‘CD Release Party’ at Green Valley Restaurant (503 East Highway 60) in Irvington, KY. It will be held from 6:30-8:30PM EST where you will be able to hear a sneak preview of the CD in its entireity. Also, if you eat at the restaurant between 6:30-8PM, you will be able to enter a drawing for a chance to win a free CD, along with a signed t-shirt or an autographed picture. Hope you can make it out for this special event.

Belinda and I are looking forward to participate in this year’s Relay For Life River Jam on Saturday June 13, 2009. It will be held near Little Dave’s Restaurant in downtown Brandenburg. We are scheduled to perform from 1-5PM Eastern Time.

There will also be plenty of food, door prizes and a 50/50 drawing. ‘Perfect Alibi’ will be concluding the night, taking the stage from 6-10PM Eastern. This event is for a great cause and we hope to see a big crowd in attendance! For further details you can log onto www.littledavesky.com.

I am proud to announce that after 8 months of hard work in and out of the studio, the new CD release date is near! We have an approximate release date of May 19th.

Belinda and I would like to thank Gary and the staff at Green Valley for allowing us to participate in the Benefit for Francis Board and Joyce Williams. We would also like to thank Modern Woodman and everyone else who made the event such a success! A big thanks to auctioneer David Alexander and all of those who donated and bought items during the auction. Thanks again to the Breckinridge County community for lending a helping hand for such a wonderful cause. Our best wishes to Francis and Joyce on a speedy recovery.

After standing in line at 2AM Saturday morning, Belinda and I, unfortunately, were not able to make it on to the next round of ‘Can You Duet’ Season 2. We were however, very close to the taping outside again, as well as to new host Lance Smith, also the host of CMT’s Top 20 Countdown. We were also much closer to judge Naomi Judd this year when she made her grand entrance into the Wildhorse. Stay tuned for pictures of the whole day and be sure and catch the shows when they air on CMT later in the Spring.

‘Can You Duet’ which turned out acts last year like Joey & Rory, Caitlin & Will, and the Capollas returns for its second season this Saturday March 7th at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville. Auditions will begin at 8AM sharp.
