Where do I start!

If you are on my website, then you probably already know that I got the chance to open up for Bret Michaels last week at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles.  What a great opportunity to play my original music to an AMAZING crowd!  We played a 30 minute set that featured 6 of my songs that will be on my album.  I have spent most of my life singing other artist's songs, and as much as I love doing that, it just doesn't compare to singing my own songs. 

The show was great and everyone there from the Onesti Entertainment group to Bret's people treated us so wonderfully, but the best part was yet to come. . .
After Bret finished his set I got the chance to hang out for a while.  I figured I would just take a picture, shake his hand (or maybe even give him a hug), and be on my way.  Bret was one of the nicest and most humble guys I have ever met (and I've met my fair share of celebrities!)  He talked to me about my songs (which he really liked!), he gave me advice, and he even asked if I would be interested in opening up for him again!  Uh . . . YEAH.  Seriously, an amazingly talented performer and a GREAT GUY.  Hopefully I will get a chance to open for him again.  You'll be the first to know.

Keeping on the subject of my original music, I recently had my first official review!  I'll let you read and form your own opinions, but lets just say that I am very happy about it!  (Thank you Mario!)

Gonna head up to beautiful Wisconsin for the holiday weekend and then I'm off to Nashville to FINISH my album.  The end is VERY near. . . I promise!

Talk to you soon.
