Hey, Everybody! It’s that time of year again, and I wanted to make sure and let you know that I will be doing some shows this week in Brenham and Austin with a talented accompanist I’ve known for quite some time. Ironically, Gene Williams was playing in the first official showcase I ever saw at SXSW before I had even dreamed of appearing on the live stage. Since then, Gene has continued to perform and tour in the States and Europe with a variety of acts, and we have remained good friends across the miles. It will be a real treat to get to do some music with Gene again and I hope that you can come out if you are in the Brenham and/or Austin area.
