This past weekend we played two fun sets to an appreciative crowd at the Creekside Festival in Bunnell, FL. The event is located on a river at an historic preserve on beautifully maintained grounds with large, shady trees. It was there that I saw a food vendor with the sign ‘Home of the Deep-Fried Twinkie’. [...]

We are in Georgia’s second oldest and second largest city, Augusta. Downtown Augusta has got its southern charm, the beautiful Savannah River flowing through, and tree-lined streets. Last time I was here I learned that my dad, when he first started his landscaping company (McCumber Landscaping) in the 70′s, came to ‘The Garden City’ and [...]

I’ve spent some time lately reworking some old, unfinished songs and writing some new ones. It’s starting to look like a full CD’s worth of fresh material. This, of course, has me excited about getting back into the recording studio…one of my favorite places to be! One of the songs, ‘Pay the Fiddler’ contains the [...]

Like most touring musicians, I miss my family when I am on the road. Sometimes my wife will email me pictures from home so I don’t feel so far away. Our ‘kids’ consist of three dogs and a tough (or stupid) cat. Tonight my wife sent a picture of our youngest husky, Cowboy, curled up [...]
