Welcome to December: On Friday (December 9), I'll be appearing on FoxRox, a television show on Channel 26 here in Houston. If you're up early and decide to tune in, you will see (and hear) yours truly regaling Houstonians with traditional Christmas songs and a live performance of my new single release, "Be My Valentine (On Christmas)" for the finale at the end of the show. I go on from 7 'til 9 a.m. After the tv show, I'll be making my way just up the street to appear on the 97.5 FM News Radio Christmas benefit broadcast for "teens and tweens." I'll be on the air for twenty minutes from 12:30-12:50 p.m., including two live songs and a brief interview. Here's an excerpt from the press release for this event: "FM News Channel is inviting Houstonians out on Friday, December 9 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., as they host a day-long live broadcast in efforts to collect 'teen and tween' gifts because kids ages 12-13 are almost always forgotten at this time of year . . . Breakfast, lunch and laughs will be served to all who stop by and drop off a charitable gift. The day's line-up features a wide array of guests, including the Salvation Army Harborlight Choir, Houston Mayor Bill White, and a host of other entertainers, dignitaries and prominent Houstonians." Friday will be a lot of fun, and it just gets better on the weekend when John Evans and I return to Sugar Hill Studios to begin my next album. John produced and sang duets on Face This World, and--as they say--"if it ain't broke, don't fix it." So on Saturday and Sunday, my producer John Evans and I will record our own rip-roaring version of Johnny Cash and June Carter's great duet, "Jackson," plus a new song I wrote recently that reminds me of Hank Williams, Sr. Next week, I'll be playing an acoustic show with Hank Schyma of the Southern Backtones and special guest "KrissAnn" at Cosmos Cafe in Houston (Thursday, December 15) and one with Jimmy Baldwin at The Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas' Deep Ellum district on Friday, December 16. On Monday, the 19th, I'll be on KPFT 90.1 FM in Houston at 4 p.m., as the featured artist on the Houston Association of Acoustic Musicians (HAAM) radio show. There's more information about everything on the "Calendar" page of this site, and I hope you'll go to the "Music" page and listen to the short clip of "Be My Valentine (On Christmas)" too. Happy holidays to you--y'all come!
