Lots of acoustic/solo stuff coming up this month, plus a couple of dates with Mic.

Thursday the 9th I’ll be doing a “Songwriters-in-tha-Round” set with Andy Pirkle and Michael Roberts at The Shed down in Maryville opening for Chris Knight. The next night I’ll be picking and singing with Mic Harrison as we open for Chris again at Zanzabar in Louisville, KY.

Mid-month, Ty Hager, Scotty Melton and I get back together for “Ye Old Dogs & Near Beer in-the-round Mini-Tour, Part 2.” We’ll be here in Knoxville at The Open Chord on Wednesday the 22nd, then Saturday the 25th we return to the Down Home in Johnson City.

I’ll end the month back here at home at Boyd’s Jig & Reel for Mic Harrison And The High Score Happy Hour, Round IV.

Round II of the Mic Harrison And The High Score Happy Hour is coming up on the 13th at the Jig & Reel. We had a blast last month so make sure to join us for this one.

Found out today that I’ll be opening for Chris Knight at The Shed in Maryville on August 9th. I’ll be joining Andy Pirkle and Michael Roberts for a “Songwriters-in-tha-Round” set to open the show. Tickets are on sale now so get ’em while you can.

Saturday the 2nd Greg Horne and I will be rockin’ the Troubadour Roadhouse at 8:00 (yes, 8:00!). Friday the 8th I’ll be playing the first of three Happy Hour shows at Boyd’s Jig & Reel with Mic Harrison And The High Score. These shows are free and start at 6:00. Check the Shows page for the other Happy Hour dates. Thursday the 14th I’ll be playing guitar with Brian Waldschlager on the WDVX Six O’Clock Swerve. Keep an eye out for one more possible June show that we’re trying to confirm.

Also… hoping to get back into the studio mid-month! Stay tuned!

JUST ANNOUNCED: Saturday, June 2nd my band and I, plus Greg Horne and his band, will be rocking The Troubadour Roadhouse in Knoxville! Doors at 6:00 PM, Show at 8:00 PM • $8.00 in advance, $10.00 at the door • all ages welcome

On Saturday the 5th I’ll be playing Camperfest in Kodak again, but this year I’ll be performing with Mic Harrison And The High Score. Another killer line-up this year, which also includes Mic’s old V-roys band mate, Scott Miller. I can’t confirm or deny… but if you’re betting on the Kentucky Derby, I’d also lay good odds that these two will end up on stage together at some point during the day.

The following Saturday, the 12th, my band and I will be playing The Black Dragon Breakdown at The Shed in Maryville. Join us at Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson for 100 foot drags, burnout clinics, biker games, the best custom and vintage bike show of the year, AND FREE MUSIC ALL DAY from The Barstool Romeos, Andrew Leahey And The Homestead, Handsome And The Humbles, and more!

Please visit the Shows page for more details.

Saturday the 10th I’ll be up in Bristol playing in-the-round with old pals Mic Harrison and Josh Smith, plus Steve Dedman from Plywood Cowboy. This’ll be my first time playing at the Bloom Cafe & Listening Room so we look forward to seeing some old and new friends in the tri-cities.

Then Saturday the 17th my band and I will be rockin’ The Pilot Light in the Old City with The Whole Wizard and The Lifters. It’s always a good time when the whole band gets together so come on out and watch us make a racket. More details for these dates can be found on the Shows page.
