I really want to thank Kelly and Kirk out at KPs in Troy, TN for asking me to be part of Bucky Covington’s Hometown Tour show there. I got to open for the former American Idol finalist on February 26th. They had a great crowd for the event that night. Thank you to all of my friends that came out for the evening to support me. I had a kickass time, and Bucky put on one hell of a show. I’ve never seen someone who can wiggle so much!

I’ve got lots of great things coming up after a very long, cold winter.

Northwest Tennessee’s little town of Troy has an awesome new venue out on Highway 183, KPs Music Rodeo.

I wandered in on February 12th to just check out what all of the hype I was hearing was all about, and I got to do something pretty damn exciting. The former lead singer of Confederate Railroad, Cody McCarver, was there doing an acoustic set to promote his new movie and title song “Outlaws & Trains”. Man, he put on a great show. About halfway through his set, he surprised me by calling me up on stage to do a few songs. What an honor, and I really enjoyed making a new friend.

Y’all be sure to look for “Outlaws and Trains” on CMT soon.

Hey guys!

So I’ve been enjoying a little bit of downtime throughout the winter months, and have been scouting out new places to do show at for this spring  and summer.

Downtown Paducah has always been a magnet artists of every kind with their awesome Downtown Art’s District. They have places like JP’s, Mother Duncan’s, CC Cohens, Fat Moe’s, Round Oak Leather (which is where I get all of my custom guitar straps made), and Does Eat Place. I’ve been nosing around and discovering the entire underground music scene there. I’ve been talking to Lucas Martinez at JP’s Bar & Grill after jamming one night there with my friend Foster Stacy, and his roommate Derek Yarbrough. Can’t wait to get to play there this summer.

Okay, I know I’ll leave something out here. But, I’ve had a lot go on so far this summer. Here’s a little of what I’ve been up to the past few months.

I went to Memphis and spent the afternoon with Marie Pizano, president and CEO of UROC Music Management, and got to meet her adorable kids.

Gary Gentry

I’ve been writing all summer with the legendary Gary Gentry, who wrote songs for George Jones, Ray Charles, Johnny Paycheck, Del Reeves, John Anderson, and David Allan Coe. My favorite one has to be The Ride.

Stormy on Stage with Sudden Thoughts

 Martin, TN, one of northwest Tennessee’s favorite party towns, has a new nightclub called Club 226. I got to help break it in with Sudden Thoughts.

Stormy with her new Elite Guitar

 Jeff Dall of Elite Guitars Canada surprised me  by sending a beautiful new guitar. I’ll post up some better pictures of the guitar soon. Loving it so far! Thanks so much, Jeff!

Dave Brainard

 Lucky, lucky me! I’m back in the studio. I’ve been doing demos with Dave Brainard, Mr.Famous, now that he’s the number one producer in Nashville. Atleast, I think so. I want some of the Jerrod Niemann luck to rub off on me, now. I’ve had a blast working with Dave again towards MAYBE another project. We’ll have to see!

Stormy singing at the CMN benefit

 July 24th, I got to sing at a great benefit at Weldon Park in Martin, TN. The benefit was for the Children’s Miracle Network. The assistant manager, Sabra, from Walmart asked me to come sing, and gladly did so for this great cause. The heat index was 108 that day. Crazy hot!  Special thanks to Sabra Cannon for inviting me, and to Jacob Bryant for giving me a much needed lift due to a flat tire.

I’ve done a BUNCH of radio interviews this summer, one being with KYTN 104.9
I was also the featured artist on the Southern Star Network and Tradewinds Radio for a week. That was pretty awesome!

The Keg

 August 6th, 2010.
The Keg is Dead. LONG LIVE THE KEG!

They’re not really dead, just switched over to new owners.
I did a closing show for the old management, and I am looking forward to seeing what the new owners can come up with for this old favorite dive.

So, this is just a small taste of what I’ve had going on this summer. I’ve got some great things in the works for fall. Can’t wait for football season!

GO FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES! (had to, sorry hahaa)

I’ll try to keep more posted on here!
Much love,
